# 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`
|
2020-09-12 20:08:40 +00:00
|
|
|
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`.
