synopsis: "`builtins.nixVersion` now returns a fixed value \"2.18.3-lix\""
# prs: cl 558
---
`builtins.nixVersion` now returns a fixed value `"2.18.3-lix"`. This prevents
feature detection assuming that features that exist in Nix post-Lix-branch-off
might exist, even though the Lix version is greater than the Nix version.
In the future, check for builtins for feature detection. If a feature cannot be
detected by *those* means, please file a Lix bug.
