2009)</title>
|

|
||||
<para>This is primarily a bug fix release. It has some new
|
||||
features:</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<itemizedlist>
|
||||
|
||||
<listitem>
|
||||
<para>Support for Nix channels generated by Hydra, the Nix-based
|
||||
continuous build system. (Hydra generates NAR archives on the
|
||||
fly, so the size and hash of these archives isn’t known in
|
||||
advance.)</para>
|
||||
</listitem>
|
||||
|
||||
<listitem>
|
||||
<para>Support <literal>i686-linux</literal> builds directly on
|
||||
<literal>x86_64-linux</literal> Nix installations. This is
|
||||
implemented using the <function>personality()</function> syscall,
|
||||
which causes <command>uname</command> to return
|
||||
<literal>i686</literal> in child processes.</para>
|
||||
</listitem>
|
||||
|
||||
<listitem>
|
||||
<para>Various improvements to the <literal>chroot</literal>
|
||||
support. Building in a <literal>chroot</literal> works quite well
|
||||
now.</para>
|
||||
</listitem>
|
||||
|
||||
<listitem>
|
||||
<para>Nix no longer blocks if it tries to build a path and another
|
||||
process is already building the same path. Instead it tries to
|
||||
build another buildable path first. This improves
|
||||
parallelism.</para>
|
||||
</listitem>
|
||||
|
||||
<listitem>
|
||||
<para>Support for large (> 4 GiB) files in NAR archives.</para>
|
||||
</listitem>
|
||||
|
||||
<listitem>
|
||||
<para>Various (performance) improvements to the remote build
|
||||
mechanism.</para>
|
||||
</listitem>
|
||||
|
||||
<listitem>
|
||||
<para>New primops: <varname>builtins.addErrorContext</varname> (to
|
||||
add a string to stack traces — useful for debugging),
|
||||
<varname>builtins.isBool</varname>,
|
||||
<varname>builtins.isString</varname>,
|
||||
<varname>builtins.isInt</varname>.</para>
