+# Release 2.5 (2021-12-13)
+
+* The garbage collector no longer blocks new builds, so the message
+  `waiting for the big garbage collector lock...` is a thing of the
+  past.
+
+* Binary cache stores now have a setting `compression-level`.
+
+* `nix develop` now has a flag `--unpack` to run `unpackPhase`.
+
+* Lists can now be compared lexicographically using the `<` operator.
+
+* New built-in function: `builtins.groupBy`, with the same functionality as
+  Nixpkgs' `lib.groupBy`, but faster.
+
+* `nix repl` now has a `:log` command.
