@ -146,65 +146,65 @@ three kinds of patterns:
- If a pattern is a single identifier, then the function matches any
argument. Example:
```nix
let negate = x: !x;
concat = x: y: x + y;
in if negate true then concat "foo" "bar" else ""
```
Note that `concat` is a function that takes one argument and returns
a function that takes another argument. This allows partial
parameterisation (i.e., only filling some of the arguments of a
function); e.g.,
```nix
map (concat "foo") [ "bar" "bla" "abc" ]
```
evaluates to `[ "foobar" "foobla" "fooabc" ]`.
- A *set pattern* of the form `{ name1, name2, …, nameN }` matches a
set containing the listed attributes, and binds the values of those
attributes to variables in the function body. For example, the
function
```nix
{ x, y, z }: z + y + x
```
can only be called with a set containing exactly the attributes `x`,
`y` and `z`. No other attributes are allowed. If you want to allow
additional arguments, you can use an ellipsis (`...`):
```nix
{ x, y, z, ... }: z + y + x
```
This works on any set that contains at least the three named
attributes.
It is possible to provide *default values* for attributes, in
which case they are allowed to be missing. A default value is
specified by writing `name ? e`, where *e* is an arbitrary
expression. For example,
```nix
{ x, y ? "foo", z ? "bar" }: z + y + x
```
specifies a function that only requires an attribute named `x`, but
optionally accepts `y` and `z`.
- An `@`-pattern provides a means of referring to the whole value
being matched:
```nix
args@{ x, y, z, ... }: z + y + x + args.a
```
but can also be written as:
```nix
{ x, y, z, ... } @ args: z + y + x + args.a

- `nix-env` usability improvements:
- An option `--compare-versions` (or `-c`) has been added to
`nix-env
--query` to allow you to compare installed versions of packages
to available versions, or vice versa. An easy way to see if you
are up to date with whats in your subscribed channels is
`nix-env -qc \*`.
- `nix-env --query` now takes as arguments a list of package names
about which to show information, just like `--install`, etc.:
for example, `nix-env -q gcc`. Note that to show all
derivations, you need to specify `\*`.
- `nix-env -i
pkgname` will now install the highest available version of
*pkgname*, rather than installing all available versions (which
would probably give collisions) (`NIX-31`).
- `nix-env (-i|-u) --dry-run` now shows exactly which missing
paths will be built or substituted.
- `nix-env -qa --description` shows human-readable descriptions of
packages, provided that they have a `meta.description` attribute
(which most packages in Nixpkgs dont have yet).
- New language features:
- Reference scanning (which happens after each build) is much
faster and takes a constant amount of memory.
- String interpolation. Expressions like
"--with-freetype2-library=" + freetype + "/lib"
can now be written as
"--with-freetype2-library=${freetype}/lib"
You can write arbitrary expressions within `${...}`, not just
identifiers.
- Multi-line string literals.

example `"--with-freetype2-library="

attrs // {

- On Linux, when doing a chroot build, Nix now uses various namespace
features provided by the Linux kernel to improve build isolation.
Namely:
- The private network namespace ensures that builders cannot talk
to the outside world (or vice versa): each build only sees a
private loopback interface. This also means that two concurrent
builds can listen on the same port (e.g. as part of a test)
without conflicting with each other.
- The PID namespace causes each build to start as PID 1. Processes
outside of the chroot are not visible to those on the inside. On
the other hand, processes inside the chroot *are* visible from
the outside (though with different PIDs).
- The IPC namespace prevents the builder from communicating with
outside processes using SysV IPC mechanisms (shared memory,
message queues, semaphores). It also ensures that all IPC
objects are destroyed when the builder exits.
- The UTS namespace ensures that builders see a hostname of
`localhost` rather than the actual hostname.
- The private mount namespace was already used by Nix to ensure
that the bind-mounts used to set up the chroot are cleaned up
automatically.

It provides the following high-level (“porcelain”) subcommands:
- `nix build` is a replacement for `nix-build`.
- `nix run` executes a command in an environment in which the
specified packages are available. It is (roughly) a replacement
for `nix-shell
-p`. Unlike that command, it does not execute the command in a
shell, and has a flag (`-c`) that specifies the unquoted command
line to be executed.
It is particularly useful in conjunction with chroot stores,
allowing Linux users who do not have permission to install Nix
in `/nix/store` to still use binary substitutes that assume
`/nix/store`. For example,
nix run --store ~/my-nix nixpkgs.hello -c hello --greeting 'Hi everybody!'
downloads (or if not substitutes are available, builds) the GNU
Hello package into `~/my-nix/nix/store`, then runs `hello` in a
mount namespace where `~/my-nix/nix/store` is mounted onto
`/nix/store`.
- `nix search` replaces `nix-env
-qa`. It searches the available packages for occurrences of a
search string in the attribute name, package name or
description. Unlike `nix-env -qa`, it has a cache to speed up
subsequent searches.
- `nix copy` copies paths between arbitrary Nix stores,
generalising `nix-copy-closure` and `nix-push`.
- `nix repl` replaces the external program `nix-repl`. It provides
an interactive environment for evaluating and building Nix
expressions. Note that it uses `linenoise-ng` instead of GNU
Readline.
- `nix upgrade-nix` upgrades Nix to the latest stable version.
This requires that Nix is installed in a profile. (Thus it wont
work on NixOS, or if its installed outside of the Nix store.)
- `nix verify` checks whether store paths are unmodified and/or
“trusted” (see below). It replaces `nix-store --verify` and
`nix-store
--verify-path`.
- `nix log` shows the build log of a package or path. If the
build log is not available locally, it will try to obtain it
from the configured substituters (such as
[cache.nixos.org](https://cache.nixos.org/), which now
provides build logs).
- `nix edit` opens the source code of a package in your editor.
- `nix eval` replaces `nix-instantiate --eval`.
- `nix
why-depends` shows why one store path has another in its
closure. This is primarily useful to finding the causes of
closure bloat. For example,
nix why-depends nixpkgs.vlc nixpkgs.libdrm.dev
shows a chain of files and fragments of file contents that cause
the VLC package to have the “dev” output of `libdrm` in its
closure — an undesirable situation.
- `nix path-info` shows information about store paths, replacing
`nix-store -q`. A useful feature is the option `--closure-size`
(`-S`). For example, the following command show the closure
sizes of every path in the current NixOS system closure, sorted
by size:
nix path-info -rS /run/current-system | sort -nk2
- `nix optimise-store` replaces `nix-store --optimise`. The main
difference is that it has a progress indicator.
A number of low-level (“plumbing”) commands are also available:
- `nix ls-store` and `nix
ls-nar` list the contents of a store path or NAR file. The
former is primarily useful in conjunction with remote stores,

nix ls-store --store https://cache.nixos.org/ -lR /nix/store/0i2jd68mp5g6h2sa5k9c85rb80sn8hi9-hello-2.10

- `nix cat-store` and `nix
cat-nar` allow extracting a file from a store path or NAR file.
- `nix dump-path` writes the contents of a store path to stdout in
NAR format. This replaces `nix-store --dump`.
- `nix
show-derivation` displays a store derivation in JSON format.
This is an alternative to `pp-aterm`.
- `nix
add-to-store` replaces `nix-store

longer necessary to set the `NIX_REMOTE` environment variable to
use the Nix daemon.
As noted above, `LocalStore` now supports chroot builds,
allowing the “physical” location of the Nix store (e.g.
`/home/alice/nix/store`) to differ from its “logical” location
(typically `/nix/store`). This allows non-root users to use Nix
while still getting the benefits from prebuilt binaries from
[cache.nixos.org](https://cache.nixos.org/).
- `BinaryCacheStore` is the abstract superclass of all binary
cache stores. It supports writing build logs and NAR content
listings in JSON format.
- `HttpBinaryCacheStore` (`http://`, `https://`) supports binary
caches via HTTP or HTTPS. If the server supports `PUT` requests,
it supports uploading store paths via commands such as `nix
copy`.
- `LocalBinaryCacheStore` (`file://`) supports binary caches in
the local filesystem.
- `S3BinaryCacheStore` (`s3://`) supports binary caches stored in
Amazon S3, if enabled at compile time.
- `LegacySSHStore` (`ssh://`) is used to implement remote builds
and `nix-copy-closure`.
- `SSHStore` (`ssh-ng://`) supports arbitrary Nix operations on a
remote machine via the same protocol used by `nix-daemon`.
- Security has been improved in various ways:
- Nix now stores signatures for local store paths. When paths are
copied between stores (e.g., copied from a binary cache to a
local store), signatures are propagated.
Locally-built paths are signed automatically using the secret
keys specified by the `secret-key-files` store option.
Secret/public key pairs can be generated using `nix-store
--generate-binary-cache-key`.
In addition, locally-built store paths are marked as “ultimately
trusted”, but this bit is not propagated when paths are copied
between stores.
- Content-addressable store paths no longer require signatures —
they can be imported into a store by unprivileged users even if
they lack signatures.
- The command `nix verify` checks whether the specified paths are
trusted, i.e., have a certain number of trusted signatures, are
ultimately trusted, or are content-addressed.
- Substitutions from binary caches
[now](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/commit/ecbc3fedd3d5bdc5a0e1a0a51b29062f2874ac8b)
require signatures by default. This was already the case on
NixOS.
- In Linux sandbox builds, we
[now](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/commit/eba840c8a13b465ace90172ff76a0db2899ab11b)
use `/build` instead of `/tmp` as the temporary build directory.

more
efficient](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/commit/90ad02bf626b885a5dd8967894e2eafc953bdf92).
- We now retry downloads on many HTTP errors, making binary caches
substituters more resilient to temporary failures.
- HTTP credentials can now be configured via the standard `netrc`
mechanism.
- If S3 support is enabled at compile time, <s3://> URIs are
[supported](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/commit/9ff9c3f2f80ba4108e9c945bbfda2c64735f987b)

- Nix now supports [SRI hashes](https://www.w3.org/TR/SRI/), allowing
the hash algorithm and hash to be specified in a single string. For
example, you can write:
import <nix/fetchurl.nix> {
url = https://nixos.org/releases/nix/nix-2.1.3/nix-2.1.3.tar.xz;
hash = "sha256-XSLa0FjVyADWWhFfkZ2iKTjFDda6mMXjoYMXLRSYQKQ=";

};
In fixed-output derivations, the `outputHashAlgo` attribute is no
longer mandatory if `outputHash` specifies the hash.
`nix hash-file` and `nix
hash-path` now print hashes in SRI format by default. They also use
SHA-256 by default instead of SHA-512 because that's what we use
