<para>This release has the following improvements:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>Nix no longer sets the immutable bit on files in the Nix
store. Instead, the recommended way to guard the Nix store
against accidental modification is to make it a read-only bind
mount, like this:
<screen>
$ mount --bind /nix/store /nix/store
$ mount -o remount,ro,bind /nix/store
</screen>
Nix will automatically make <filename>/nix/store</filename>
writable as needed (using a private mount namespace) to allow
modifications.</para>
