+# This Week in Nushell #293
+
+Published Friday, 04-Apr 2025
+
+## Highlights
+
+- Thanks to @LoicRiegel for two improvements `into datetime` this week - The command can now use a timezone flag when parsing a specific format, and it also accepts `float`s as input.
+- A few additional improvements come to `into datetime` with the upgrade of the `human-date-parser` crate. While we don't always remember to call out upstream improvements, Nushell
+  just wouldn't be possible without the contributions of numerous contributors outside and upstream from our repos. A huge thanks to these (usually) unsung heroes.
+- @pyz4 improved the `polars cast` command to accept a decimal precision and scale. Thank you!
+- @blindFS has enabled tab-complete for the built-in modules `std`, `std-rfc`, and their submodules. Woot! Thanks!
+- And thanks to @vansh284 for additional exact-match improvements for completions!
+- Finally, @mztikk added support on Windows for running scripts on the path.
+
+As always, thank you to all the contributors this week!
