 # Release X.Y (202?-??-??)
 
-* `<nix/fetchurl.nix>` now accepts an additional argument `impure` which
-  defaults to `false`.  If it is set to `true`, the `hash` and `sha256`
-  arguments will be ignored and the resulting derivation will have
-  `__impure` set to `true`, making it an impure derivation.
+* The `repeat` and `enforce-determinism` options have been removed
+  since they had been broken under many circumstances for a long time.
 
-* If `builtins.readFile` is called on a file with context, then only the parts
-  of that context that appear in the content of the file are retained.
-  This avoids a lot of spurious errors where some benign strings end-up having
-  a context just because they are read from a store path
-  ([#7260](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/7260)).
+* You can now use [flake references] in the [old command line interface], e.g.
 
-* Nix can now automatically pick UIDs for builds, removing the need to
-  create `nixbld*` user accounts.
-
-  See [`auto-allocate-uids`].
-
-  [`auto-allocate-uids`]: (../command-ref/conf-file.md#conf-auto-allocate-uids)
-
-* On Linux, Nix can now run builds in a user namespace where the build
-  runs as root (UID 0) and has 65,536 UIDs available.
-
-  <!-- FIXME: move this to its own section about system features -->
-
-  This is primarily useful for running containers such as `systemd-nspawn`
-  inside a Nix build. For an example, see [`tests/systemd-nspawn/nix`][nspawn].
-
-  [nspawn]: https://github.com/NixOS/nix/blob/67bcb99700a0da1395fa063d7c6586740b304598/tests/systemd-nspawn.nix.
-
-  A build can enable this by by setting the derivation attribute:
+   [flake references]: ../command-ref/new-cli/nix3-flake.md#flake-references
+   [old command line interface]: ../command-ref/main-commands.md
 
   ```
-  requiredSystemFeatures = [ "uid-range" ];
+  # nix-build flake:nixpkgs -A hello
+  # nix-build -I nixpkgs=flake:github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixos-22.05 \
+      '<nixpkgs>' -A hello
+  # NIX_PATH=nixpkgs=flake:nixpkgs nix-build '<nixpkgs>' -A hello
   ```
 
-  The `uid-range` [system feature] requires the [`auto-allocate-uids`]
-  setting to be enabled.
-
-  [system feature]: (../command-ref/conf-file.md#conf-system-features),
-
-* On Linux, Nix has experimental support for running builds inside a
-  cgroup.
-
-  See [`use-cgroups`](../command-ref/conf-file.md#conf-use-cgroups).
-
-* `nix build --json` now prints some statistics about top-level
-  derivations, such as CPU statistics when cgroups are enabled.
+* Allow explicitly selecting outputs in a store derivation installable, just like we can do with other sorts of installables.
+  For example,
+  ```shell-session
+  $ nix-build /nix/store/gzaflydcr6sb3567hap9q6srzx8ggdgg-glibc-2.33-78.drv^dev`
+  ```
+  now works just as
+  ```shell-session
+  $ nix-build glibc^dev`
+  ```
+  does already.
