What's New in ɳSelf

Latest Updates - v0.9.9 (February 2026)

v0.9.9 - Command Tree Final Consolidation (30 commands)

v0.9.9 completes the command tree consolidation, reducing top-level commands from 31 to 30. The ɳSelf hasura command moves to nself db hasura, recognizing that Hasura metadata management is database-adjacent. This release also converts destroy, perf, and backup to deprecated stubs with clear migration guidance.

Command Changes:

• 31 → 30 top-level commands: Final consolidation complete (5 Core + 16 Utilities + 9 Complex)
• ɳSelf hasura → nself db hasura: Hasura console and metadata now under db
• 38 deprecated stubs: All old commands still work with migration guidance until v1.0.0

Migration:

• ɳSelf hasura console → nself db hasura console
• ɳSelf hasura metadata apply → nself db hasura metadata apply
• ɳSelf hasura metadata export → nself db hasura metadata export
• ɳSelf hasura metadata reload → nself db hasura metadata reload
