+# Nushell 0.106.1
+
+Today, we're releasing version 0.106.1 of Nu. This patch release fixes a regression with bare string interpolation from 0.106.0, the const version of `get`, and several build-related issues.
+
+# Where to get it
+
+Nu 0.106.1 is available as [pre-built binaries](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/releases/tag/0.106.1) 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.

+## Bug fixes and other changes [[toc](#table-of-contents)]
+
+### Fixed regression in the bare string interpolation [[toc](#table-of-contents)]
+
+While fixing another parser bug in 0.106.0 we accidentally introduced a [regression which restricted certain forms of direct string interpolation using parenthesized expressions with bare words](https://www.nushell.sh/blog/2025-07-23-nushell_0_106_0.html#regression-bare-word-interpolation-on-both-sides-does-not-work-toc).
+Thanks to [#16235] by [@Bahex] the following form of string interpolation again works without issue:
+
+```nushell
+let x = 123
+($x)/foo/($x)
+# => 123/foo/123
+```
+
+### Fixed flag handling of `get` in the const version [[toc](#table-of-contents)]
+
+The recent change to [`get` to rename `--ignore-errors` to `--optional`](https://www.nushell.sh/blog/2025-07-23-nushell_0_106_0.html#ignore-errors-i-renamed-to-optional-o-toc) was incorrectly handled if the command was used in a `const` context. This has been fixed with this release thanks to [#16268] by [@Bahex].
+
+### Fix for builds on NetBSD and FreeBSD [[toc](#table-of-contents)]
+
+BSD builds failed due to more restrictive Rust compiler warnings triggered in our BSD platform code. This has been fixed in [#16266] and [#16275] by [@0323pin] and [@sholderbach]
+
+### Fixed warnings for plugin builds [[toc](#table-of-contents)]
+
+When building plugins with our Rust `nu-plugin-core 0.106.0` crate you may have encountered compiler warnings. This has been addressed by [@cptpiepmatz] in [#16279]
