This is primarily useful when you have a large amount of paths which exceed the OS arg limit. +* The `nix-hash` command now supports Base64 and SRI. Use the flags `--base64` + or `--sri` to specify the format of output hash as Base64 or SRI, and `--to-base64` + or `--to-sri` to convert a hash to Base64 or SRI format, respectively. + + As the choice of hash formats is no longer binary, the `--base16` flag is also added + to explicitly specify the Base16 format, which is still the default. + * The special handling of an [installable](../command-ref/new-cli/nix.md#installables) with `.drv` suffix being interpreted as all of the given [store derivation](../glossary.md#gloss-store-derivation)'s output paths is removed, and instead taken as the literal store path that it represents. The new `^` syntax for store paths introduced in Nix 2.13 allows explicitly referencing output paths of a derivation. |
