# Release X.Y (202?-??-??)
+
+* The `repeat` and `enforce-determinism` options have been removed
+ since they had been broken under many circumstances for a long time.
+
+* You can now use [flake references] in the [old command line interface], e.g.
+
+ [flake references]: ../command-ref/new-cli/nix3-flake.md#flake-references
+ [old command line interface]: ../command-ref/main-commands.md
+
+ ```
+ # 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
+ ```
+
+* Instead of "antiquotation", the more common term [string interpolation](../language/string-interpolation.md) is now used consistently.
+ Historical release notes were not changed.
+
+* Error traces have been reworked to provide detailed explanations and more
+ accurate error locations. A short excerpt of the trace is now shown by
+ default when an error occurs.
