## Discussed Topics
### Christmas release
- early feature freeze: Thursday 19th
- release over the weekend or possibly monday: release team has to assemble and decide
- (feels more optional) post release meeting (push away from the holidays, reduced attendance): maybe driven by the release event
### sqlite vs. text history
- Requirements for changing the defaults would be:
- [x] Migration tool for users
- [ ] easy editing (deletion of secrets etc.)
- Rose: rich text history as `nuon`
- newline delimited version as Antoine recently added
- would permit same rich feature as sqlite (would require some optims)
- history in any `to` format? difficult because of reedline

### env.nu / meta-hacks for multistage conifg
- https://hackmd.io/@132ikl/SJG0Mn4E1e
- many integrations
- PRs for them as soon as we have arrived at a good solution with our vendor autoload dir strategy
- we shouldn't do the breaking change immediately (no rename to `preconfig.nu` etc. with this release)
- `ENV_CONVERSION` obsolescence
- this cycle: still create env.nu
- https://hackmd.io/iGnsNaNPQA6EtOAbh3SPdg
- Devyn: eventually we should be able to get rid of the whole idea of env.nu and just have config.nu
