# Release 2.1 (2018-09-02)
This is primarily a bug fix release. It also reduces memory consumption
in certain situations. In addition, it has the following new features:
- The Nix installer will no longer default to the Multi-User
2020-07-24 13:46:16 +00:00
installation for macOS. You can still instruct the installer to
run in multi-user mode.
- The Nix installer now supports performing a Multi-User
installation for Linux computers which are running systemd. You
can select a Multi-User installation by passing the `--daemon`
flag to the installer: `sh <(curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install)
2020-07-24 13:46:16 +00:00
--daemon`.
The multi-user installer cannot handle systems with SELinux. If
your system has SELinux enabled, you can force the installer to
run in single-user mode.

- New builtin functions: `builtins.bitAnd`, `builtins.bitOr`,
`builtins.bitXor`, `builtins.fromTOML`, `builtins.concatMap`,
`builtins.mapAttrs`.
- The S3 binary cache store now supports uploading NARs larger than 5
GiB.
- The S3 binary cache store now supports uploading to S3-compatible
services with the `endpoint` option.
- The flag `--fallback` is no longer required to recover from
disappeared NARs in binary caches.
- `nix-daemon` now respects `--store`.
- `nix run` now respects `nix-support/propagated-user-env-packages`.
