Raw Blame History

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

  • Nix now provides better integration with zsh's run-help feature. It is now included in the Nix installation in the form of an autoloadable shell function, run-help-nix. It picks up Nix subcommands from the currently typed in command and directs the user to the associated man pages.

  • nix repl has a new build-'n-link (:bl) command that builds a derivation while creating GC root symlinks.

  • The path produced by builtins.toFile is now allowed to be imported or read even with restricted evaluation. Note that this will not work with a read-only store.

  • nix build has a new --print-out-paths flag to print the resulting output paths. This matches the default behaviour of nix-build.

  • Error traces have been reworked to provide detailed explanations and more accurate error locations. A short excerpt of the trace is now shown by default when an error occurs.
