Release X.Y (202?-??-??)

  • Nix can now be built with LTO by passing --enable-lto to configure. LTO is currently only supported when building with GCC.

  • nix repl now takes installables on the command line, unifying the usage with other commands that use --file and --expr. Primary breaking change is for the common usage of nix repl '<nixpkgs>' which can be recovered with nix repl --file '<nixpkgs>' or nix repl --expr 'import <nixpkgs>{}'

    This is currently guarded by the 'repl-flake' experimental feature

  • A new primop builtins.traceVerbose is available. It is similar to builtins.trace if the trace-verbose setting is set to true, and it is a no-op otherwise.
