+* The Nix CLI now searches for a `flake.nix` up until the root of the current
+ Git repository or a filesystem boundary rather than just in the current
+ directory.
+* The TOML parser used by `builtins.fromTOML` has been replaced by [a
+ more compliant one](https://github.com/ToruNiina/toml11).
+* Added `:st`/`:show-trace` commands to `nix repl`, which are used to
+ set or toggle display of error traces.
+* New builtin function `builtins.zipAttrsWith` with the same
+ functionality as `lib.zipAttrsWith` from Nixpkgs, but much more
+ efficient.
+* New command `nix store copy-log` to copy build logs from one store
+ to another.
+* The `commit-lockfile-summary` option can be set to a non-empty
+ string to override the commit summary used when commiting an updated
+ lockfile. This may be used in conjunction with the `nixConfig`
+ attribute in `flake.nix` to better conform to repository
+ conventions.
+* `docker run -ti nixos/nix:master` will place you in the Docker
+ container with the latest version of Nix from the `master` branch.

-* The TOML parser used by `builtins.fromTOML` has been replaced by [a
- more compliant one](https://github.com/ToruNiina/toml11).
-* Added `:st`/`:show-trace` commands to nix repl, which are used to
- set or toggle display of error traces.
+* `nix bundle` breaking API change now supports bundlers of the form
+ `bundler.<system>.<name>= derivation: another-derivation;`. This supports
+ additional functionality to inspect evaluation information during bundling. A
+ new [repository](https://github.com/NixOS/bundlers) has various bundlers
+ implemented.
+
+* `nix store ping` now reports the version of the remote Nix daemon.
