# Release 2.14 (2023-02-28)
|
||||
|
||||
* A new function `builtins.readFileType` is available. It is similar to
|
||||
`builtins.readDir` but acts on a single file or directory.
|
||||
|
||||
* In flakes, the `.outPath` attribute of a flake now always refers to
|
||||
the directory containing the `flake.nix`. This was not the case for
|
||||
when `flake.nix` was in a subdirectory of e.g. a Git repository.
|
||||
The root of the source of a flake in a subdirectory is still
|
||||
available in `.sourceInfo.outPath`.
|
||||
|
||||
* In derivations that use structured attributes, you can now use `unsafeDiscardReferences`
|
||||
to disable scanning a given output for runtime dependencies:
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
__structuredAttrs = true;
|
||||
unsafeDiscardReferences.out = true;
|
||||
```
|
||||
This is useful e.g. when generating self-contained filesystem images with
|
||||
their own embedded Nix store: hashes found inside such an image refer
|
||||
to the embedded store and not to the host's Nix store.
|
||||
|
||||
This requires the `discard-references` experimental feature.

The root of the source of a flake in a subdirectory is still available in

|
||||
|
||||
* The `builtins.readDir` function has been optimized when encountering not-yet-known
|
||||
file types from POSIX's `readdir`. In such cases the type of each file is/was
|
||||
discovered by making multiple syscalls. This change makes these operations
|
||||
lazy such that these lookups will only be performed if the attribute is used.
|
||||
This optimization affects a minority of filesystems and operating systems.
