-<title>Release 2.3 (2019-09-04)</title>
-
-<para>This is primarily a bug fix release. However, it makes some
-incompatible changes:</para>
-
-<itemizedlist>
-
- <listitem>
- <para>Nix now uses BSD file locks instead of POSIX file
- locks. Because of this, you should not use Nix 2.3 and previous
- releases at the same time on a Nix store.</para>
- </listitem>
-
-</itemizedlist>
-
-<para>It also has the following changes:</para>
-
-<itemizedlist>
-
- <listitem>
- <para><function>builtins.fetchGit</function>'s <varname>ref</varname>
- argument now allows specifying an absolute remote ref.
- Nix will automatically prefix <varname>ref</varname> with
- <literal>refs/heads</literal> only if <varname>ref</varname> doesn't
- already begin with <literal>refs/</literal>.
- </para>
- </listitem>
-
- <listitem>
- <para>The installer now enables sandboxing by default on Linux when the
- system has the necessary kernel support.
- </para>
- </listitem>
-
- <listitem>
- <para>The <literal>max-jobs</literal> setting now defaults to 1.</para>
- </listitem>
-
- <listitem>
- <para>New builtin functions:
- <literal>builtins.isPath</literal>,
- <literal>builtins.hashFile</literal>.
- </para>
- </listitem>
-
- <listitem>
- <para>The <command>nix</command> command has a new
- <option>--print-build-logs</option> (<option>-L</option>) flag to
- print build log output to stderr, rather than showing the last log
- line in the progress bar. To distinguish between concurrent
- builds, log lines are prefixed by the name of the package.
- </para>
- </listitem>
-
- <listitem>
- <para>Builds are now executed in a pseudo-terminal, and the
- <envar>TERM</envar> environment variable is set to
- <literal>xterm-256color</literal>. This allows many programs
- (e.g. <command>gcc</command>, <command>clang</command>,
- <command>cmake</command>) to print colorized log output.</para>
- </listitem>
-
- <listitem>
- <para>Add <option>--no-net</option> convenience flag. This flag
- disables substituters; sets the <literal>tarball-ttl</literal>
- setting to infinity (ensuring that any previously downloaded files
- are considered current); and disables retrying downloads and sets
- the connection timeout to the minimum. This flag is enabled
- automatically if there are no configured non-loopback network
- interfaces.</para>
- </listitem>
-
- <listitem>
- <para>Add a <literal>post-build-hook</literal> setting to run a
- program after a build has succeeded.</para>
- </listitem>
-
- <listitem>
- <para>Add a <literal>trace-function-calls</literal> setting to log
- the duration of Nix function calls to stderr.</para>
- </listitem>
