+# Release 2.14 (2023-02-28)
+
+* A new function `builtins.readFileType` is available. It is similar to
+ `builtins.readDir` but acts on a single file or directory.
+
+* In flakes, the `.outPath` attribute of a flake now always refers to
+ the directory containing the `flake.nix`. This was not the case for
+ when `flake.nix` was in a subdirectory of e.g. a Git repository.
+ The root of the source of a flake in a subdirectory is still
+ available in `.sourceInfo.outPath`.
+
+* In derivations that use structured attributes, you can now use `unsafeDiscardReferences`
+ to disable scanning a given output for runtime dependencies:
+ ```nix
+ __structuredAttrs = true;
+ unsafeDiscardReferences.out = true;
+ ```
+ This is useful e.g. when generating self-contained filesystem images with
+ their own embedded Nix store: hashes found inside such an image refer
+ to the embedded store and not to the host's Nix store.
+
+ This requires the `discard-references` experimental feature.

# Release X.Y (202?-??-??)
-* A new function `builtins.readFileType` is available. It is similar to
- `builtins.readDir` but acts on a single file or directory.
-
-* The `builtins.readDir` function has been optimized when encountering not-yet-known
- file types from POSIX's `readdir`. In such cases the type of each file is/was
- discovered by making multiple syscalls. This change makes these operations
- lazy such that these lookups will only be performed if the attribute is used.
- This optimization affects a minority of filesystems and operating systems.
-
-* In derivations that use structured attributes, you can now use `unsafeDiscardReferences`
- to disable scanning a given output for runtime dependencies:
- ```nix
- __structuredAttrs = true;
- unsafeDiscardReferences.out = true;
- ```
- This is useful e.g. when generating self-contained filesystem images with
- their own embedded Nix store: hashes found inside such an image refer
- to the embedded store and not to the host's Nix store.
