passed the `--stdin` flag. This is primarily useful when you have a large amount of paths which
exceed the OS arg limit.
+* The `nix-hash` command now supports Base64 and SRI. Use the flags `--base64`
+ or `--sri` to specify the format of output hash as Base64 or SRI, and `--to-base64`
+ or `--to-sri` to convert a hash to Base64 or SRI format, respectively.
+
+ As the choice of hash formats is no longer binary, the `--base16` flag is also added
+ to explicitly specify the Base16 format, which is still the default.

* The special handling of an [installable](../command-ref/new-cli/nix.md#installables) with `.drv` suffix being interpreted as all of the given [store derivation](../glossary.md#gloss-store-derivation)'s output paths is removed, and instead taken as the literal store path that it represents.
The new `^` syntax for store paths introduced in Nix 2.13 allows explicitly referencing output paths of a derivation.
