+
+Nix allows derivations to set `allowSubstitutes = false` in order to force them to be built locally without querying substituters for them.
+This is useful for derivations that are very fast to build (especially if they produce large output).
+However, this can shoot you in the foot if the derivation *has* to be substituted such as if the derivation is for another architecture, which is what `--always-allow-substitutes` is for.
+
+Perhaps such derivations that are known to be impossible to build locally should ignore `allowSubstitutes` (irrespective of remote builders) in the future, but this at least reports the failure and solution directly.
+
+```
+$ nix build -f fail.nix
+error: a 'unicornsandrainbows-linux' with features {} is required to build '/nix/store/...-meow.drv', but I am a 'x86_64-linux' with features {...}
+
+       Hint: the failing derivation has allowSubstitutes set to false, forcing it to be built rather than substituted.
+       Passing --always-allow-substitutes to force substitution may resolve this failure if the path is available in a substituter.

+[Configuration settings](@docroot@/command-ref/conf-file.md) can now refer to
+files with paths relative to the file they're written in or relative to your
+home directory (with `~/`).
+
+This makes settings like
+[`repl-overlays`](@docroot@/command-ref/conf-file.md#conf-repl-overlays) and
+[`secret-key-files`](@docroot@/command-ref/conf-file.md#conf-repl-overlays)
+much easier to set, especially if you'd like to refer to files in an existing
+dotfiles repo cloned into your home directory.
+
+If you put `repl-overlays = repl.nix` in your `~/.config/nix/nix.conf`, it'll
+load `~/.config/nix/repl.nix`. Similarly, you can set `repl-overlays =
+~/.dotfiles/repl.nix` to load a file relative to your home directory.
+
+Configuration files can also
+[`include`](@docroot@/command-ref/conf-file.md#file-format) paths relative to
+your home directory.
+
+Only user configuration files (like `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/nix/nix.conf` or the
+files listed in `$NIX_USER_CONF_FILES`) can use tilde paths relative to your
+home directory. Configuration listed in the `$NIX_CONFIG` environment variable
+may not use relative paths.

+Previously `<nix/fetchurl.nix>` did not do TLS verification. This was because the Nix sandbox in the past did not have access to TLS certificates, and Nix checks the hash of the fetched file anyway. However, this can expose authentication data from `netrc` and URLs to man-in-the-middle attackers. In addition, Nix now in some cases (such as when using impure derivations) does *not* check the hash. Therefore we have now enabled TLS verification. This means that downloads by `<nix/fetchurl.nix>` will now fail if you're fetching from a HTTPS server that does not have a valid certificate.

+`<nix/fetchurl.nix>` is also known as the builtin derivation builder `builtin:fetchurl`. It's not to be confused with the evaluation-time function `builtins.fetchurl`, which was not affected by this issue.

+This section describes the notion of *deprecated features*, and how it fits into the big picture of the development of Lix.
+
+# What are deprecated features?
+
+Deprecated features are disabled by default, with the intent to eventually remove them.
+Users must explicitly enable them to keep using them, by toggling the associated [deprecated feature flags](@docroot@/command-ref/conf-file.md#conf-deprecated-features).
+This allows backwards compatibility and a graceful transition away from undesired features.
+
+# Which features can be deprecated?
+
+Undesired features should be soft-deprecated by yielding a warning when used for a significant amount of time before the can be deprecated.
+Legacy obsolete feature with little to no usage may go through this process faster.
+Deprecated features should have a migration path to a preferred alternative.
+
+# Lifecycle of a deprecated feature
+
+This description is not normative, but a feature removal may roughly happen like this:
+
+1. Add a warning when the feature is being used.
+2. Disable the feature by default, putting it behind a deprecated feature flag.
+  - If disabling the feature started out as an opt-in experimental feature, turn that experimental flag into a no-op or remove it entirely.
+    For example, `--extra-experimental-features=no-url-literals` becomes `--extra-deprecated-features=url-literals`.
+3. Decide on a time frame for how long that feature will still be supported for backwards compatibility, and clearly communicate that in the error messages.
+  - Sometimes, automatic migration to alternatives is possible, and such should be provided if possible
+  - At least one NixOS release cycle should be the minimum
+4. Finally remove the feature entirely, only keeping the error message for those still using it.
+
+# Relation to language versioning
+
+Obviously, removing anything breaks backwards compatibility.
+In an ideal world, we'd have SemVer controls over the language and its features, cleanly allowing us to make breaking changes.
+See https://wiki.lix.systems/books/lix-contributors/page/language-versioning and [RFC 137](https://github.com/nixos/rfcs/pull/137) for efforts on that.
+However, we do not live in such an ideal world, and currently this goal is so far away, that "just disable it with some back-compat for a couple of years" is the most realistic solution, especially for comparatively minor changes.

+The following equality comparison rules are followed in order:
+
+- Comparisons are first, sometimes, performed by identity (pointer value), and whether or not this occurs varies depending on the context in which the comparison is performed; for example, through `builtins.elem`, comparison of lists, or other cases.
+  The exact instances in which this occurs, aside from direct list and attribute set comparisons as discussed below, are too dependent on implementation details to meaningfully document.
+
+  See [note on identity comparison](#identity-comparison) below.
+- Comparisons between a combination of integers and floating point numbers are first converted to floating point then compared as floating point.
+- Comparisons between values of differing types, besides the ones mentioned in the above rule, are unequal.
+- Strings are compared as their string values, disregarding string contexts.
+- Paths are compared as their absolute form (since they are stored as such).
+- [Functions][function] are always considered unequal, including with themselves.
+- The following are compared in the typical manner:
+  - Integers
+  - Floating point numbers have equality comparison per IEEE 754.
+
+    Note that this means that just like in most languages, floating point arithmetic results are not typically equality comparable, and should instead be compared by checking that the absolute difference is less than some error margin.
+  - Booleans
+  - Null
+- [Attribute sets][attribute set] are compared following these rules in order:
+  - If both attribute sets have the same identity (via pointer equality), they are considered equal, regardless of whether the contents have reflexive equality (e.g. even if there are functions contained within).
+
+    See [note on identity comparison](#identity-comparison) below.
+  - If both attribute sets have `type = "derivation"` and have an attribute `outPath` that is equal, they are considered equal.
+
+    This means that two results of `builtins.derivation`, regardless of other things added to their attributes via `//` afterwards (or `passthru` in nixpkgs), will compare equal if they passed the same arguments to `builtins.derivation`.
+  - Otherwise, they are compared element-wise in an unspecified order.
+    Although this order *may* be deterministic in some cases, this is not guaranteed, and correct code must not rely on this ordering behaviour.
+
+    The order determines which elements are evaluated first and thus, if there are throwing values in the attribute set, which of those get evaluated, if any, before the comparison returns an unequal result.
+- Lists are compared following these rules in order:
+  - If both lists have the same identity (via pointer equality), they are considered equal, regardless of whether the contents have reflexive equality (e.g. even if there are functions contained within).
+
+    See [note on identity comparison](#identity-comparison) below.
+  - Otherwise, they are compared element-wise in list order.
 
 [function]: ./constructs.md#functions
 
 [Equality]: #equality
 
+### Identity comparison
+
+In the current revision of the Nix language, values are first compared by identity (pointer equality).
+This means that values that are not reflexively equal (that is, they do not satisfy `a == a`), such as functions, are nonetheless sometimes compared as equal with themselves if they are placed in attribute sets or lists, or are compared through other indirect means.
+
+Whether identity comparison applies to a given usage of the language aside from direct list and attribute set comparison is strongly dependent on implementation details to the point it is not feasible to document the exact instances.
+
+This is rather unfortunate behaviour which is regrettably load-bearing on nixpkgs (such as with the `type` attribute of NixOS options) and cannot be changed for the time being.
+It may be changed in a future major language revision.
+
+Correct code must not rely on this behaviour.
+
+For example:
+
+```
+nix-repl> let f = x: 1; s = { func = f; }; in [ (f == f) (s == s) ]
+[ false true ]
+```
+
 ## Logical implication
 
 Equivalent to `!`*b1* `||` *b2*.

+
+## \[Experimental\] Function piping
+
+*This language feature is still experimental and may change at any time. Enable `--extra-experimental-features pipe-operator` to use it.*
+
+Pipes are a dedicated operator for function application, but with reverse order and a lower binding strength.
+This allows you to chain function calls together in way that is more natural to read and requires less parentheses.
+
+`a |> f b |> g` is equivalent to `g (f b a)`.
+`g <| f b <| a` is equivalent to `g (f b a)`.
+
+Example code snippet:
+
+```nix
+defaultPrefsFile = defaultPrefs
+  |> lib.mapAttrsToList (
+    key: value: ''
+      // ${value.reason}
+      pref("${key}", ${builtins.toJSON value.value});
+    ''
+  )
+  |> lib.concatStringsSep "\n"
+  |> pkgs.writeText "nixos-default-prefs.js";
+```
+
+Note how `mapAttrsToList` is called with two arguments (the lambda and `defaultPrefs`),
+but moving the last argument in front of the rest improves the reading flow.
+This is common for functions with long first argument, including all `map`-like functions.

+- Block io_uring in the Linux sandbox [cl/1611](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1611)
+
+  The io\_uring API has the unfortunate property that it is not possible to selectively decide which operations should be allowed.
+  This, together with the fact that new operations are routinely added, makes it a hazard to the proper function of the sandbox.
+
+  Therefore, any access to io\_uring has been made unavailable inside the sandbox.
+  As such, attempts to execute any system calls forming part of this API will fail with the error `ENOSYS`, as if io\_uring support had not been configured into the kernel.
+
+  Many thanks to [alois31](https://git.lix.systems/alois31) for this.
+- The `build-hook` setting is now deprecated
+
+  Build hooks communicate with the daemon using a custom, internal, undocumented protocol that is entirely unversioned and cannot be changed.
+  Since we intend to change it anyway we must unfortunately deprecate the current build hook infrastructure.
+  We do not expect this to impact most users—we have not found any uses of `build-hook` in the wild—but if this does affect you, we'd like to hear from you!
+- Lix no longer speaks the Nix remote-build worker protocol to clients or servers older than CppNix 2.3 [fj#325](https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/325) [cl/1207](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1207) [cl/1208](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1208) [cl/1206](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1206) [cl/1205](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1205) [cl/1204](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1204) [cl/1203](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1203) [cl/1479](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1479)
+
+  CppNix 2.3 was released in 2019, and is the new oldest supported version. We
+  will increase our support baseline in the future up to a final version of CppNix
+  2.18 (which may happen soon given that it is the only still-packaged and thus
+  still-tested >2.3 version), but this step already removes a significant amount
+  of dead, untested, code paths.
+
+  Lix speaks the same version of the protocol as CppNix 2.18 and that fact will
+  never change in the future; the Lix plans to replace the protocol for evolution
+  will entail a complete incompatible replacement that will be supported in
+  parallel with the old protocol. Lix will thus retain remote build compatibility
+  with CppNix as long as CppNix maintains protocol compatibility with 2.18, and
+  as long as Lix retains legacy protocol support (which will likely be a long
+  time given that we plan to convert it to a frozen-in-time shim).

+
+  Previously, if a path did not exist in a Nix store, it was referred to as the internal name "path is invalid".

+
+  Lix now heeds `NO_COLOR`/`NOCOLOR` for more output types, such as that used in `nix search`, `nix flake metadata` and similar.
+
+  It also now supports `CLICOLOR_FORCE`/`FORCE_COLOR` to force colours regardless of whether there is a terminal on the other side.
+
+  It now follows rules compatible with those described on <https://bixense.com/clicolors/> with `CLICOLOR` defaulted to enabled.
+
+  That is to say, the following procedure is followed in order:
+  - NO_COLOR or NOCOLOR set
+
+    Always disable colour
+  - CLICOLOR_FORCE or FORCE_COLOR set
+
+    Enable colour
+  - The output is a tty; TERM != "dumb"

+- Distinguish between explicit throws and errors that happened while evaluating a throw [cl/1511](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1511)
+
+  Previously, errors caused by an expression like `throw "invalid argument"` were treated like an error that happened simply while some builtin function was being called:
+
+  ```
+  let
+    throwMsg = p: throw "${p} isn't the right package";
+  in throwMsg "linuz"
+
+  error:
+         … while calling the 'throw' builtin
+           at «string»:2:17:
+              1| let
+              2|   throwMsg = p: throw "${p} isn't the right package";
+               |                 ^
+              3| in throwMsg "linuz"
+
+         error: linuz isn't the right package
+  ```
+
+  But the error didn't just happen "while" calling the `throw` builtin — it's a throw error!
+  Now it looks like this:
+
+  ```
+  let
+    throwMsg = p: throw "${p} isn't the right package";
+  in throwMsg "linuz"
+
+  error:
+         … caused by explicit throw
+           at «string»:2:17:
+              1| let
+              2|   throwMsg = p: throw "${p} isn't the right package";
+               |                 ^
+              3| in throwMsg "linuz"
+
+         error: linuz isn't the right package
+  ```
+
+  This also means that incorrect usage of `throw` or errors evaluating its arguments are easily distinguishable from explicit throws:
+
+  ```
+  let
+    throwMsg = p: throw "${p} isn't the right package";
+  in throwMsg { attrs = "error when coerced in string interpolation"; }
+
+  error:
+         … while calling the 'throw' builtin

+              2|   throwMsg = p: throw "${p} isn't the right package";
+               |                 ^
+              3| in throwMsg { attrs = "error when coerced in string interpolation"; }
+
+         … while evaluating a path segment
+           at «string»:2:24:
+              1| let
+              2|   throwMsg = p: throw "${p} isn't the right package";
+               |                        ^

+
+         error: cannot coerce a set to a string: { attrs = "error when coerced in string interpolation"; }
+  ```
+
+  Here, instead of an actual thrown error, a type error happens first (trying to coerce an attribute set to a string), but that type error happened *while* calling `throw`.

+- Eliminate some pretty-printing surprises [#11100](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/11100) [cl/1616](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1616) [cl/1617](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1617) [cl/1618](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1618)
+
+  Some inconsistent and surprising behaviours have been eliminated from the pretty-printing used by the REPL and `nix eval`:
+  * Lists and attribute sets that contain only a single item without nested structures are no longer sometimes inappropriately indented in the REPL, depending on internal state of the evaluator.
+  * Empty attribute sets and derivations are no longer shown as `«repeated»`, since they are always cheap to print.
+    This matches the existing behaviour of `nix-instantiate` on empty attribute sets.
+    Empty lists were never printed as `«repeated»` already.
+  * The REPL by default does not print nested attribute sets and lists, and indicates elided items with an ellipsis.
+    Previously, the ellipsis was printed even when the structure was empty, so that such items do not in fact exist.
+    Since this behaviour was confusing, it does not happen any more.
+
+  Before:
+  ```
+  nix-repl> :p let x = 1 + 2; in [ [ x ] [ x ] ]
+  [
+    [
+      3
+    ]
+    [ 3 ]
+  ]
+
+  nix-repl> let inherit (import <nixpkgs> { }) hello; in [ hello hello ]
+  [
+    «derivation /nix/store/fqs92lzychkm6p37j7fnj4d65nq9fzla-hello-2.12.1.drv»
+    «repeated»
+  ]
+
+  nix-repl> let x = {}; in [ x ]
+  [
+    { ... }
+  ]
+  ```
+
+  After:
+  ```
+  nix-repl> :p let x = 1 + 2; in [ [ x ] [ x ] ]
+  [
+    [ 3 ]
+    [ 3 ]
+  ]

+  ```

+- `nix registry add` now requires a shorthand flakeref on the 'from' side [cl/1494](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1494)
+
+  The 'from' argument must now be a shorthand flakeref like `nixpkgs` or `nixpkgs/nixos-20.03`, making it harder to accidentally swap the 'from' and 'to' arguments.
+
+  Registry entries that map from other flake URLs can still be specified in registry.json, the `nix.registry` option in NixOS, or the `--override-flake` option in the CLI, but they are not guaranteed to work correctly.
+
+  Many thanks to [delan](https://git.lix.systems/delan) for this.
+- Allow automatic rejection of configuration options from flakes [cl/1541](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1541)
+
+  Setting `accept-flake-config` to `false` now respects user choice by automatically rejecting configuration options set by flakes.
+  The old behaviour of asking each time is still available (and default) by setting it to the special value `ask`.
+
+  Many thanks to [alois31](https://git.lix.systems/alois31) for this.
+- `nix repl` now allows tab-completing the special repl :colon commands [cl/1367](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1367)
+
+  The REPL (`nix repl`) supports pressing `<TAB>` to complete a partial expression, but now also supports completing the special :colon commands as well (`:b`, `:edit`, `:doc`, etc), if the line starts with a colon.
+
+  Many thanks to [Qyriad](https://git.lix.systems/Qyriad) for this.
+- `:edit`ing a file in Nix store no longer reloads the repl [fj#341](https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/341) [cl/1620](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1620)
+
+  Calling `:edit` from the repl now only reloads if the file being edited was outside of Nix store.
+  That means that all the local variables are now preserved across `:edit`s of store paths.
+  This is always safe because the store is read-only.
+
+  Many thanks to [goldstein](https://git.lix.systems/goldstein) for this.
+- `:log` in repl now works on derivation paths [fj#51](https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/51) [cl/1716](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1716)
+
+  `:log` can now accept store derivation paths in addition to derivation expressions.
+
+  Many thanks to [goldstein](https://git.lix.systems/goldstein) for this.
+
+## Fixes
+- Define integer overflow in the Nix language as an error [fj#423](https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/423) [cl/1594](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1594) [cl/1595](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1595) [cl/1597](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1597) [cl/1609](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1609)
+
+  Previously, integer overflow in the Nix language invoked C++ level signed overflow, which was undefined behaviour, but *probably* manifested as wrapping around on overflow.
+
+  Since prior to the public release of Lix, Lix had C++ signed overflow defined to crash the process and nobody noticed this having accidentally removed overflow from the Nix language for three months until it was caught by fiddling around.
+  Given the significant body of actual Nix code that has been evaluated by Lix in that time, it does not appear that nixpkgs or much of importance depends on integer overflow, so it is safe to turn into an error.
+
+  Some other overflows were fixed:
+  - `builtins.fromJSON` of values greater than the maximum representable value in a signed 64-bit integer will generate an error.
+  - `nixConfig` in flakes will no longer accept negative values for configuration options.
+
+  Integer overflow now looks like the following:
+
+  ```
+  » nix eval --expr '9223372036854775807 + 1'
+  error: integer overflow in adding 9223372036854775807 + 1
+  ```
+
+  Many thanks to [jade](https://git.lix.systems/jade) for this.
+- Fix nix-collect-garbage --dry-run [fj#432](https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/432) [cl/1566](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1566)
+
+  `nix-collect-garbage --dry-run` did not previously give any output - it simply
+  exited without even checking to see what paths would be deleted.
+
+  ```
+  $ nix-collect-garbage --dry-run
+  $
+  ```
+
+  We updated the behaviour of the flag such that instead it prints out how many
+  paths it *would* delete, but doesn't actually delete them.
+
+  ```
+  $ nix-collect-garbage --dry-run
+  finding garbage collector roots...
+  determining live/dead paths...
+  ...
+  <nix store paths>
+  ...
+  2670 store paths deleted, 0.00MiB freed
+  $
+  ```
+
+  Many thanks to [Quantum Jump](https://github.com/QuantumBJump) for this.
+- Fix unexpectedly-successful GC failures on macOS [fj#446](https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/446) [cl/1723](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1723)
+
+  Has the following happened to you on macOS? This failure has been successfully eliminated, thanks to our successful deployment of advanced successful-failure detection technology (it's just `if (failed && errno == 0)`. Patent pending<sup>not really</sup>):
+
+  ```
+  $ nix-store --gc --print-dead
+  finding garbage collector roots...
+  error: Listing pid 87261 file descriptors: Undefined error: 0
+  ```
+
+  Many thanks to [jade](https://git.lix.systems/jade) for this.
+- `nix copy` is now several times faster at `querying info about /nix/store/...` [fj#366](https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/366) [cl/1462](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1462)
+
+  We fixed a locking bug that serialized `querying info about /nix/store/...`
+  onto just one thread such that it was eating `O(paths to copy * latency)` time
+  while setting up to copy paths to s3 and other stores. It is now `nproc` times
+  faster.
+
+  Many thanks to [jade](https://git.lix.systems/jade) for this.
+
+## Development
+- clang-tidy support [fj#147](https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/147) [cl/1697](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1697)
+
+  `clang-tidy` can be used to lint Lix with a limited set of lints using `ninja -C build clang-tidy` and `ninja -C build clang-tidy-fix`.
+  In practice, this fixes the built-in meson rule that was used the same as above being broken ever since precompiled headers were introduced.
+
+  Many thanks to [jade](https://git.lix.systems/jade) for this.
+- Lix now supports building with UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer [cl/1483](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1483) [cl/1481](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1481) [cl/1669](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1669)
+
+  You can now build Lix with the configuration option `-Db_sanitize=undefined,address` and it will both work and pass tests with both AddressSanitizer and UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer enabled.
+  To use ASan specifically, you have to set `-Dgc=disabled`, which an error message will tell you to do if necessary anyhow.
+
+  Furthermore, tests passing with Clang ASan+UBSan is checked on every change in CI.
+
+  For a list of undefined behaviour found by tooling usage, see [the gerrit topic "undefined-behaviour"](https://gerrit.lix.systems/q/topic:%22undefined-behaviour%22).
+
+  Many thanks to [jade](https://git.lix.systems/jade) for this.
