# Description `into bits` is a bad name because it is not a traditional type cast to a `bits` type like all the other `into` commands. Instead it is a pretty printer generating `string` type output. Thus the correct bucket is `format` and its subcommands. # User-Facing Changes `into bits` will raise a `DeprecatedWarning` suggesting the move to `format bits` `into bits` can be removed in `0.103.0` # Tests + Formatting All tests that relied on `into bits` have been updated to `format bits`
Nushell core libraries and plugins
These sub-crates form both the foundation for Nu and a set of plugins which extend Nu with additional functionality.
Foundational libraries are split into two kinds of crates:
- Core crates - those crates that work together to build the Nushell language engine
- Support crates - a set of crates that support the engine with additional features like JSON support, ANSI support, and more.
Plugins are likewise also split into two types:
- Core plugins - plugins that provide part of the default experience of Nu, including access to the system properties, processes, and web-connectivity features.
- Extra plugins - these plugins run a wide range of different capabilities like working with different file types, charting, viewing binary data, and more.
