+# Nushell 0.113.1
+
+Today, we're releasing version 0.113.1 of Nu. This patch release fixes issues introduced in 0.113.0, including YAML string quoting behavior, reliability problems across the `idx` command family, and a REPL regression in `commandline edit`.
+
+# Where to get it
+
+Nu 0.113.1 is available as [pre-built binaries](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/releases/tag/0.113.1) or from [crates.io](https://crates.io/crates/nu). If you have Rust installed you can install it using `cargo install nu`.
+
+As part of this release, we also publish a set of optional [plugins](https://www.nushell.sh/book/plugins.html) you can install and use with Nushell.

+
+### More idiomatic YAML output with smarter string quoting <JumpToc/> <PrBy :pr="18298" user="fdncred" />
+
+The previous emitter always quoted string values, which produced valid YAML but was more conservative than necessary and less aligned with YAML 1.2 plain-scalar rules.
+
+This change makes output:
+
+- more readable
+- closer to idiomatic YAML
+- more spec-aligned for plain scalars
+- still safe for roundtripping by quoting values that would otherwise be reinterpreted as non-strings
+
+```yaml title="Before"
+value: 'off'
+path: '/dev/stdout'
+listen: '0.0.0.0:8444,0.0.0.0:8445 ssl'
+name: 'kong'
+kind: 'Deployment'
+```
+
+```yaml title="After"
+value: 'off'
+path: /dev/stdout
+listen: 0.0.0.0:8444,0.0.0.0:8445 ssl
+name: kong
+kind: Deployment
+```
+
+```yaml title="Multiline strings now emit as"
+string: |-
+  Hello
+  world
+```
+
+## Bug fixes <JumpToc/>
+
+### `idx` dependency update and command reliability improvements <JumpToc/> <PrBy :pr="18284" user="fdncred" />
+
+Update the `idx` fff-search dependency and fix bugs.
+
+- `idx init . --wait` now properly blocks
+- `idx init` now has a `--follow-links` switch
+- `idx status` reports accurate counts after indexing
+- `idx import` fully restores snapshot for queries — The `idx import` command now properly restores snapshots to enable all query operations. Imported snapshots remain queryable even if the original project files have been deleted or moved.
+- `idx files` works on imported snapshots
+- `idx files` has a `query` parameter now for easy searching (renamed from `path` for consistency)
+- `idx dirs` works on imported snapshots
+- `idx dirs` has a `query` parameter now for easy searching
+- `idx find` (fuzzy search) works on imported snapshots
+- `idx search` (content search) works on imported snapshots
+- changed output to nushell values for commands that return tables
+- updated some help strings to be more helpful
+
+Files are ignored during indexing due to the use of the `ignore` crate. [These are the rules for ignore](https://docs.rs/ignore/latest/ignore/struct.WalkBuilder.html#ignore-rules). There's no way to override this in the current version.
+
+### Other fixes <JumpToc/>
+
+- Fixed a regression where `commandline edit` did not update the commandline in REPL on 0.113.0. `commandline edit` now correctly updates the visible prompt buffer again. ([#18301](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/18301))
