# Release X.Y (202?-??-??)

* The `repeat` and `enforce-determinism` options have been removed
  since they had been broken under many circumstances for a long time.

* You can now use flake references in the old CLI, e.g.

  ```
  # nix-build flake:nixpkgs -A hello
  # nix-build -I nixpkgs=flake:github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixos-22.05 \
      '<nixpkgs>' -A hello
  # NIX_PATH=nixpkgs=flake:nixpkgs nix-build '<nixpkgs>' -A hello
  ```

Remove repeat and enforce-determinism options These only functioned if a very narrow combination of conditions held: - The result path does not yet exist (--check did not result in repeated builds), AND - The result path is not available from any configured substituters, AND - No remote builders that can build the path are available. If any of these do not hold, a derivation would be built 0 or 1 times regardless of the repeat option. Thus, remove it to avoid confusion. 2022-09-26 18:55:56 +00:00			* The `repeat` and `enforce-determinism` options have been removed
