-prs: [14614]
-issues: [11728]
----
-
-The underlying issue that led to [#11728](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/11728) has been resolved by utilizing
-[libcurl write pausing functionality](https://curl.se/libcurl/c/curl_easy_pause.html) to control backpressure when unpacking to slow destinations like the git-backed tarball cache. The default value of `download-buffer-size` is now 1 MiB and it's no longer recommended to increase it, since the root cause has been fixed.
-
-This is expected to improve download performance on fast connections, since previously a single slow download consumer would stall the thread and prevent any other transfers from progressing.
-
-Many thanks go out to the [Lix project](https://lix.systems/) for the [implementation](https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/commit/4ae6fb5a8f0d456b8d2ba2aaca3712b4e49057fc) that served as inspiration for this change and for triaging libcurl [issues with pausing](https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/19334).

-prs: [14464]
-issues: [7015]
----
-
-S3 binary cache stores now support configuring the storage class for uploaded objects via the `storage-class` parameter. This allows users to optimize costs by selecting appropriate storage tiers based on access patterns.
-
-Example usage:
-
-```bash
-# Use Glacier storage for long-term archival
-nix copy --to 's3://my-bucket?storage-class=GLACIER' /nix/store/...
-
-# Use Intelligent Tiering for automatic cost optimization
-nix copy --to 's3://my-bucket?storage-class=INTELLIGENT_TIERING' /nix/store/...
-```
-
-The storage class applies to both regular uploads and multipart uploads. When not specified, objects use the bucket's default storage class.
-
-See the [S3 storage classes documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/storage-class-intro.html) for available storage classes and their characteristics.

 Nix uses a simplified model of the file system, which consists of file system objects.
 Every file system object is one of the following:

    - A possibly empty sequence of bytes for contents
    - A single boolean representing the [executable](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File-system_permissions#Permissions) permission
