-<title>Release 1.8 (2014-12-14)</title>
-
-<itemizedlist>
-
-  <listitem><para>Breaking change: to address a race condition, the
-  remote build hook mechanism now uses <command>nix-store
-  --serve</command> on the remote machine. This requires build slaves
-  to be updated to Nix 1.8.</para></listitem>
-
-  <listitem><para>Nix now uses HTTPS instead of HTTP to access the
-  default binary cache,
-  <literal>cache.nixos.org</literal>.</para></listitem>
-
-  <listitem><para><command>nix-env</command> selectors are now regular
-  expressions. For instance, you can do
-
-<screen>
-$ nix-env -qa '.*zip.*'
-</screen>
-
-  to query all packages with a name containing
-  <literal>zip</literal>.</para></listitem>
-
-  <listitem><para><command>nix-store --read-log</command> can now
-  fetch remote build logs. If a build log is not available locally,
-  then ‘nix-store -l’ will now try to download it from the servers
-  listed in the ‘log-servers’ option in nix.conf. For instance, if you
-  have the configuration option
-
-<programlisting>
-log-servers = http://hydra.nixos.org/log
-</programlisting>
-
-then it will try to get logs from
-<literal>http://hydra.nixos.org/log/<replaceable>base name of the
-store path</replaceable></literal>. This allows you to do things like:
-
-<screen>
-$ nix-store -l $(which xterm)
-</screen>
-
-  and get a log even if <command>xterm</command> wasn't built
-  locally.</para></listitem>
-
-  <listitem><para>New builtin functions:
-  <function>attrValues</function>, <function>deepSeq</function>,
-  <function>fromJSON</function>, <function>readDir</function>,
-  <function>seq</function>.</para></listitem>
-
-  <listitem><para><command>nix-instantiate --eval</command> now has a
-  <option>--json</option> flag to print the resulting value in JSON
-  format.</para></listitem>
-
-  <listitem><para><command>nix-copy-closure</command> now uses
-  <command>nix-store --serve</command> on the remote side to send or
-  receive closures. This fixes a race condition between
-  <command>nix-copy-closure</command> and the garbage
-  collector.</para></listitem>
-
-  <listitem><para>Derivations can specify the new special attribute
-  <varname>allowedRequisites</varname>, which has a similar meaning to
-  <varname>allowedReferences</varname>. But instead of only enforcing
-  to explicitly specify the immediate references, it requires the
-  derivation to specify all the dependencies recursively (hence the
-  name, requisites) that are used by the resulting
-  output.</para></listitem>
-
-  <listitem><para>On Mac OS X, Nix now handles case collisions when
-  importing closures from case-sensitive file systems. This is mostly
-  useful for running NixOps on Mac OS X.</para></listitem>
-
-  <listitem><para>The Nix daemon has new configuration options
-  <option>allowed-users</option> (specifying the users and groups that
-  are allowed to connect to the daemon) and
-  <option>trusted-users</option> (specifying the users and groups that
-  can perform privileged operations like specifying untrusted binary
-  caches).</para></listitem>
-
-  <listitem><para>The configuration option
-  <option>build-cores</option> now defaults to the number of available
-  CPU cores.</para></listitem>
-
-  <listitem><para>Build users are now used by default when Nix is
-  invoked as root. This prevents builds from accidentally running as
-  root.</para></listitem>
-
-  <listitem><para>Nix now includes systemd units and Upstart
-  jobs.</para></listitem>
-
-  <listitem><para>Speed improvements to <command>nix-store
-  --optimise</command>.</para></listitem>
-
-  <listitem><para>Language change: the <literal>==</literal> operator
-  now ignores string contexts (the “dependencies” of a
-  string).</para></listitem>
-
-  <listitem><para>Nix now filters out Nix-specific ANSI escape
-  sequences on standard error. They are supposed to be invisible, but
-  some terminals show them anyway.</para></listitem>
-
-  <listitem><para>Various commands now automatically pipe their output
-  into the pager as specified by the <envar>PAGER</envar> environment
-  variable.</para></listitem>
-
-  <listitem><para>Several improvements to reduce memory consumption in
-  the evaluator.</para></listitem>
