 # Glossary
 
-  - derivation\
+  - [derivation]{#gloss-derivation}\
     A description of a build action. The result of a derivation is a
     store object. Derivations are typically specified in Nix expressions
     using the [`derivation` primitive](expressions/derivations.md). These are
     translated into low-level *store derivations* (implicitly by
     `nix-env` and `nix-build`, or explicitly by `nix-instantiate`).
 
-  - store\

     The location in the file system where store objects live. Typically
     `/nix/store`.
 
-  - store path\
+  - [store path]{#gloss-store-path}\
     The location in the file system of a store object, i.e., an
     immediate child of the Nix store directory.
 
-  - store object\
+  - [store object]{#gloss-store-object}\
     A file that is an immediate child of the Nix store directory. These
     can be regular files, but also entire directory trees. Store objects
     can be sources (objects copied from outside of the store),
     derivation outputs (objects produced by running a build action), or
     derivations (files describing a build action).
 
-  - substitute\
+  - [substitute]{#gloss-substitute}\
     A substitute is a command invocation stored in the Nix database that
     describes how to build a store object, bypassing the normal build
     mechanism (i.e., derivations). Typically, the substitute builds the
     store object by downloading a pre-built version of the store object
     from some server.
 
-  - purity\
+  - [purity]{#gloss-purity}\
     The assumption that equal Nix derivations when run always produce
     the same output. This cannot be guaranteed in general (e.g., a
     builder can rely on external inputs such as the network or the
     system time) but the Nix model assumes it.
 
-  - Nix expression\
+  - [Nix expression]{#gloss-nix-expression}\
     A high-level description of software packages and compositions
     thereof. Deploying software using Nix entails writing Nix
     expressions for your packages. Nix expressions are translated to
     derivations that are stored in the Nix store. These derivations can
     then be built.
 
-  - reference\

     A store path `P` is said to have a reference to a store path `Q` if

+* Running Nix with the new `--debugger` flag will cause it to start a
+  repl session if an exception is thrown during evaluation, or if
+  `builtins.break` is called.  From there you can inspect the values
+  of variables and evaluate Nix expressions.  In debug mode, the
+  following new repl commands are available:
+
+  ```
+  :env          Show env stack
+  :bt           Show trace stack
+  :st           Show current trace

+  :s            Go one step
+  ```
+
+  Read more about the debugger
+  [here](https://www.zknotes.com/note/5970).
+
+* 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-and-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`.
+
+* You can now specify which outputs of a derivation `nix` should
+  operate on using the syntax `installable^outputs`,
+  e.g. `nixpkgs#glibc^dev,static` or `nixpkgs#glibc^*`. By default,
+  `nix` will use the outputs specified by the derivation's
+  `meta.outputsToInstall` attribute if it exists, or all outputs
+  otherwise.
+
+* `builtins.fetchTree` (and flake inputs) can now be used to fetch
+  plain files over the `http(s)` and `file` protocols in addition to
+  directory tarballs.
