It is now + included in the Nix installation in the form of an autoloadable shell + function, run-help-nix. It picks up Nix subcommands from the currently typed + in command and directs the user to the associated man pages. + +* `nix repl` has a new build-'n-link (`:bl`) command that builds a derivation + while creating GC root symlinks. + +* The path produced by `builtins.toFile` is now allowed to be imported or read + even with restricted evaluation. Note that this will not work with a + read-only store. + +* `nix build` has a new `--print-out-paths` flag to print the resulting output paths. + This matches the default behaviour of `nix-build`. + +* You can now specify which outputs of a derivation `nix` should + operate on using the syntax `installable^outputs`, + e.g. `nixpkgs#glibc^dev,static` or `nixpkgs#glibc^*`. By default, + `nix` will use the outputs specified by the derivation's + `meta.outputsToInstall` attribute if it exists, or all outputs + otherwise. + + Selecting derivation outputs using the attribute selection syntax + (e.g. `nixpkgs#glibc.dev`) no longer works. + * Add experimental *indexed store derivations* installable syntax, part of the the `computed-derivations` experimental feature. |
