- Add BLAKE3 hash algorithm [#12379](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/12379)
Nix now supports the BLAKE3 hash algorithm as an experimental feature (`blake3-hashes`):
```console
# nix hash file ./file --type blake3 --extra-experimental-features blake3-hashes
blake3-34P4p+iZXcbbyB1i4uoF7eWCGcZHjmaRn6Y7QdynLwU=
