+# Release 2.6 (2022-01-24)
+
+* The Nix CLI now searches for a `flake.nix` up until the root of the current
+ Git repository or a filesystem boundary rather than just in the current
+ directory.
+* The TOML parser used by `builtins.fromTOML` has been replaced by [a
+ more compliant one](https://github.com/ToruNiina/toml11).
+* Added `:st`/`:show-trace` commands to `nix repl`, which are used to
+ set or toggle display of error traces.
+* New builtin function `builtins.zipAttrsWith` with the same
+ functionality as `lib.zipAttrsWith` from Nixpkgs, but much more
+ efficient.
+* New command `nix store copy-log` to copy build logs from one store
+ to another.
+* The `commit-lockfile-summary` option can be set to a non-empty
+ string to override the commit summary used when commiting an updated
+ lockfile. This may be used in conjunction with the `nixConfig`
+ attribute in `flake.nix` to better conform to repository
+ conventions.
+* `docker run -ti nixos/nix:master` will place you in the Docker
+ container with the latest version of Nix from the `master` branch.
