+# Nushell 0.112.2
+
+Today, we're releasing version 0.112.2 of Nu. This release adds fixes for regressions in script argument quoting and `input list`, improving handling for quoted strings, special characters, fuzzy selection, and multi-select navigation.
+
+# Where to get it
+
+Nu 0.112.2 is available as [pre-built binaries](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/releases/tag/0.112.2) 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.

+### Fixed regressions in quoting for string arguments in Nu script calls <JumpToc/> <PrBy :pr="18030" user="fdncred" />
+
+This release fixes incorrect quoting behavior when passing string arguments to Nu scripts. Quoted strings, including those with spaces and escape sequences, are now handled consistently.
+
+Using these test scripts:
+
+```nushell title="test.nu"
+def --wrapped main [...args: string] {
+  print $args
+  print ($args.1 | str substring 0..0)
+}
+```
+
+```nushell highlight-lines=false title="test2.nu"
+def main [...args: string] {
+    print ...($args)
+}
+```
+
+Quoted arguments now behave correctly:
+
+```ansi :no-line-numbers
+> nu test2.nu a b "c\nd"
+a
+b
+c
+d
+> nu test.nu arg1 "arg 2"
+╭───┬───────╮
+│ 0 │ arg1  │
+│ 1 │ arg 2 │
+╰───┴───────╯
+a
+> nu --no-config-file test2.nu a b "c\nd"
+a
+b
+c
+d
+> nu --no-config-file test.nu arg1 "arg 2"
+╭───┬───────╮
+│ 0 │ arg1  │
+│ 1 │ arg 2 │
+╰───┴───────╯
+```
+
+### Fixed regressions for `input list` <JumpToc/> <PrBy :pr="18039" user="fdncred" />
+
+This release fixes several regressions introduced in the previous release affecting `input list` behavior:
+
+- Restored correct Tab and Backtab handling when using `--fuzzy`.
+- Aligned behavior across `--fuzzy`, `--multi`, and combined `--fuzzy --multi`.
+- Fixed cursor movement issues when `--multi` is enabled.
+- Resolved Backtab wrap-around behavior.
+- Corrected arrow key cursor navigation.
+- Fixed an issue where `--fuzzy` did not search all items when input is streamed.
+
+### Other fixes
+
+- When nu is run from a script, empty strings and strings containing `[`, `{`, or `}` in the arguments are properly quoted. ([#18027](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/18027))
