Key Features of This Update

1. Smart Version Detection

The update_all_plugins.nu script now intelligently:

• Always updates the nu-plugin dependency for all plugins (0.108.0 → 0.109.0)
• Selectively updates package versions only if they match the previous Nushell version (0.108.0)
• Preserves plugin-specific versioning schemes (e.g., 0.1.0, 1.1.0, 1.2.12)

2. Correct String Interpolation

• Fixed Nushell string interpolation per Rule 18 guidelines
• Properly escaped literal parentheses in $"..." strings: \(DRY RUN\)

3. Template Generation Fix

• Scripts now correctly generate register-plugins.nu instead of install.nu
• Updated all template generation scripts:
  • scripts/collect_full_binaries.nu
  • scripts/complete_update.nu
  • scripts/create_full_distribution.nu

4. Bootstrap Installer Enhancement

• install.sh now auto-detects local binaries in distribution packages
• Supports both ./bin/nu and ./nu paths
• Automatically uses local binaries when available

Automation Scripts Modified

scripts/update_all_plugins.nu

• Lines 72: Fixed string interpolation \(DRY RUN\)
• Lines 187-215: Added smart version detection logic
  • Calculates previous version (0.108.0 from 0.109.0)
  • Only updates package version if current version matches previous version
  • Preserves independent plugin versions

scripts/collect_full_binaries.nu

• Line 722-724: Changed template generation to use register-plugins.nu instead of install.nu

scripts/complete_update.nu

• Line 414: Updated documentation reference to register-plugins.nu

scripts/create_full_distribution.nu

• Line 461: Updated next steps documentation to register-plugins.nu

installers/bootstrap/install.sh

• Lines 1059-1069: Added auto-detection of local binaries
  • Checks for ./bin/nu and ./nu paths
  • Automatically uses local installation when found

Distribution Changes

All distribution packages now include:

• ✅ Nushell 0.109.0 binary
• ✅ All 13 plugins compiled with 0.109.0
• ✅ register-plugins.nu script (not install.nu)
• ✅ install.sh with local binary auto-detection
• ✅ Proper plugin registration without installation of binaries

Verification

All 13 plugins successfully:

• ✅ Compile with Nushell 0.109.0
• ✅ Have correct nu-plugin dependency version
• ✅ Have correct nu-protocol dependency version
• ✅ Register properly with Nushell
• ✅ Can be listed with nu -c 'plugin list'

Next Steps

For the next version update (0.110.0):

1. Run just validate-nushell to ensure version consistency
2. Execute ./scripts/complete_update.nu 0.110.0 for full automation
3. Run just build-full to compile everything
4. Run just test to validate all plugins
5. Create distribution with just pack-full

Notes

• Plugin versions are now independently managed while maintaining dependency synchronization
• The smart version detection prevents version confusion between plugin versions and Nushell versions
• Auto-detection of local binaries makes distribution packages more portable
• register-plugins.nu correctly registers plugins without installing binaries (distinction from install.sh)
