Agenda

• How did the release go? Seen/Heard about any issues?

Discussed Topics

• Release - not much. maybe something with setup_nu from hustcer's ci app. Not sure. Devyn to look at #help conversation.

• PWD PRs by YizhePKU - Devyn to ping to see if they're still interested.

• extend ++ operator for lists to records

  • record ++ record is merge
  • sounds okay

• background jobs? or at least make sure we don't get stuck on Ctrl-Z

• http commands taking pipeline input for the body

  • Andy's plugin currently does this
  • avoid collecting
  • http post, http put, http patch (body only)

• http formats

  • --content-type application/json is kind of long
  • -t json? --json?
  • form data would be nice
  • Pipeline metadata mime types? then we could auto-detect

• vendor autoload

  • on main right now - can load files from the vendor autoload dir
  • test this
  • they are sorted by filename and loaded

• make_release documentation (README) feedback

  • mention that we generally want to wait before merging the version bump and wait-for-nushell-release PRs
  • cargo check required after bumping version
  • don't merge too many PRs at once to avoid CI getting stuck
  • maybe the scripts have some issues, not sure (see what Jack said on discord during the release)

• don't add wait-for-nushell-release label unless something is approved & ready to go
