Version 0.9
+NOTE: this version of Nix used Berkeley DB 4.3 instead of 4.2. The
+database is upgraded automatically, but you should be careful not to
+use old versions of Nix that still use Berkeley DB 4.2. In
+particular, if you use a Nix installed through Nix, you should run
+
+ nix-store --clear-substitutes
+
+first.
+
* Unpacking of patch sequences is much faster now by not doing
redundant unpacking and repacking of intermediate paths.
+* Nix now uses Berkeley DB 4.3.
+
+* The `derivation' primitive is lazier. Attributes of dependent
+ derivations can mutually refer to each other (as long as there are
+ no data dependencies on the `outPath' and `drvPath' attributes
+ computed by `derivation').
