-# Release 2.4 (2021-11-01)
-
-This is the first release in more than two years and is the result of
-more than 2800 commits from 195 contributors since release 2.3.
-
-## Highlights
-
-* Nix's **error messages** have been improved a lot. For instance,
-  evaluation errors now point out the location of the error:
-
-  ```
-  $ nix build
-  error: undefined variable 'bzip3'
-
-         at /nix/store/449lv242z0zsgwv95a8124xi11sp419f-source/flake.nix:88:13:
-
-             87|           [ curl
-             88|             bzip3 xz brotli editline
-               |             ^
-             89|             openssl sqlite
-  ```
-
-* The **`nix` command** has seen a lot of work and is now almost at
-  feature parity with the old command-line interface (the `nix-*`
-  commands). It aims to be [more modern, consistent and pleasant to
-  use](../contributing/cli-guideline.md) than the old CLI. It is still
-  marked as experimental but its interface should not change much
-  anymore in future releases.
-
-* **Flakes** are a new format to package Nix-based projects in a more
-  discoverable, composable, consistent and reproducible way. A flake
-  is just a repository or tarball containing a file named `flake.nix`
-  that specifies dependencies on other flakes and returns any Nix
-  assets such as packages, Nixpkgs overlays, NixOS modules or CI
-  tests. The new `nix` CLI is primarily based around flakes; for
-  example, a command like `nix run nixpkgs#hello` runs the `hello`
-  application from the `nixpkgs` flake.
-
-  Flakes are currently marked as experimental. For an introduction,
-  see [this blog
-  post](https://www.tweag.io/blog/2020-05-25-flakes/). For detailed
-  information about flake syntax and semantics, see the [`nix flake`
-  manual page](../command-ref/new-cli/nix3-flake.md).
-
-* Nix's store can now be **content-addressed**, meaning that the hash
-  component of a store path is the hash of the path's
-  contents. Previously Nix could only build **input-addressed** store
-  paths, where the hash is computed from the derivation dependency
-  graph. Content-addressing allows deduplication, early cutoff in
-  build systems, and unprivileged closure copying. This is still [an
-  experimental
-  feature](https://discourse.nixos.org/t/content-addressed-nix-call-for-testers/12881).
-
-* The Nix manual has been converted into Markdown, making it easier to
-  contribute. In addition, every `nix` subcommand now has a manual
-  page, documenting every option.
-
-* A new setting that allows **experimental features** to be enabled
-  selectively. This allows us to merge unstable features into Nix more
-  quickly and do more frequent releases.
-
-## Other features
-
-* There are many new `nix` subcommands:
-
-  - `nix develop` is intended to replace `nix-shell`. It has a number
-    of new features:
-
-    * It automatically sets the output environment variables (such as
-      `$out`) to writable locations (such as `./outputs/out`).
-
-    * It can store the environment in a profile. This is useful for
-      offline work.
-
-    * It can run specific phases directly. For instance, `nix develop
-      --build` runs `buildPhase`.
-
-    - It allows dependencies in the Nix store to be "redirected" to
-      arbitrary directories using the `--redirect` flag. This is
-      useful if you want to hack on a package *and* some of its
-      dependencies at the same time.
-
-  - `nix print-dev-env` prints the environment variables and bash
-    functions defined by a derivation. This is useful for users of
-    other shells than bash (especially with `--json`).
-
-  - `nix shell` was previously named `nix run` and is intended to
-    replace `nix-shell -p`, but without the `stdenv` overhead. It
-    simply starts a shell where some packages have been added to
-    `$PATH`.
-
-  - `nix run` (not to be confused with the old subcommand that has
-    been renamed to `nix shell`) runs an "app", a flake output that
-    specifies a command to run, or an eponymous program from a
-    package. For example, `nix run nixpkgs#hello` runs the `hello`
-    program from the `hello` package in `nixpkgs`.
-
-  - `nix flake` is the container for flake-related operations, such as
-    creating a new flake, querying the contents of a flake or updating
-    flake lock files.
-
-  - `nix registry` allows you to query and update the flake registry,
-    which maps identifiers such as `nixpkgs` to concrete flake URLs.
-
-  - `nix profile` is intended to replace `nix-env`. Its main advantage
-    is that it keeps track of the provenance of installed packages
-    (e.g. exactly which flake version a package came from). It also
-    has some helpful subcommands:
-
-    * `nix profile history` shows what packages were added, upgraded
-      or removed between each version of a profile.
-
-    * `nix profile diff-closures` shows the changes between the
-      closures of each version of a profile. This allows you to
-      discover the addition or removal of dependencies or size
-      changes.
-
-    **Warning**: after a profile has been updated using `nix profile`,
-    it is no longer usable with `nix-env`.
-
-  - `nix store diff-closures` shows the differences between the
-    closures of two store paths in terms of the versions and sizes of
-    dependencies in the closures.
-
-  - `nix store make-content-addressable` rewrites an arbitrary closure
-    to make it content-addressed. Such paths can be copied into other
-    stores without requiring signatures.
-
-  - `nix bundle` uses the [`nix-bundle`
-    program](https://github.com/matthewbauer/nix-bundle) to convert a
-    closure into a self-extracting executable.
-
-  - Various other replacements for the old CLI, e.g. `nix store gc`,
-    `nix store delete`, `nix store repair`, `nix nar dump-path`, `nix
-    store prefetch-file`, `nix store prefetch-tarball`, `nix key` and
-    `nix daemon`.
-
-* Nix now has an **evaluation cache** for flake outputs. For example,
-  a second invocation of the command `nix run nixpkgs#firefox` will
-  not need to evaluate the `firefox` attribute because it's already in
-  the evaluation cache. This is made possible by the hermetic
-  evaluation model of flakes.
-
-* The new `--offline` flag disables substituters and causes all
-  locally cached tarballs and repositories to be considered
-  up-to-date.
-
-* The new `--refresh` flag causes all locally cached tarballs and
-  repositories to be considered out-of-date.
-
-* Many `nix` subcommands now have a `--json` option to produce
-  machine-readable output.
-
-* `nix repl` has a new `:doc` command to show documentation about
-  builtin functions (e.g. `:doc builtins.map`).
-
-* Binary cache stores now have an option `index-debug-info` to create
-  an index of DWARF debuginfo files for use by
-  [`dwarffs`](https://github.com/edolstra/dwarffs).
-
-* To support flakes, Nix now has an extensible mechanism for fetching
-  source trees. Currently it has the following backends:
-
-  * Git repositories
-
-  * Mercurial repositories
-
-  * GitHub and GitLab repositories (an optimisation for faster
-    fetching than Git)
-
-  * Tarballs
-
-  * Arbitrary directories
-
-  The fetcher infrastructure is exposed via flake input specifications
-  and via the `fetchTree` built-in.
-
-* **Languages changes**: the only new language feature is that you can
-  now have antiquotations in paths, e.g. `./${foo}` instead of `./. +
-  foo`.
-
-* **New built-in functions**:
-
-  - `builtins.fetchTree` allows fetching a source tree using any
-    backends supported by the fetcher infrastructure. It subsumes the
-    functionality of existing built-ins like `fetchGit`,
-    `fetchMercurial` and `fetchTarball`.
-
-  - `builtins.getFlake` fetches a flake and returns its output
-    attributes. This function should not be used inside flakes! Use
-    flake inputs instead.
-
-  - `builtins.floor` and `builtins.ceil` round a floating-point number
-    down and up, respectively.
-
-* Experimental support for recursive Nix. This means that Nix
-  derivations can now call Nix to build other derivations. This is not
-  in a stable state yet and not well
-  [documented](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/commit/c4d7c76b641d82b2696fef73ce0ac160043c18da).
-
-* The new experimental feature `no-url-literals` disables URL
-  literals. This helps to implement [RFC
-  45](https://github.com/NixOS/rfcs/pull/45).
-
-* Nix now uses `libarchive` to decompress and unpack tarballs and zip
-  files, so `tar` is no longer required.
-
-* The priority of substituters can now be overridden using the
-  `priority` substituter setting (e.g. `--substituters
-  'http://cache.nixos.org?priority=100 daemon?priority=10'`).
-
-* `nix edit` now supports non-derivation attributes, e.g. `nix edit
-  .#nixosConfigurations.bla`.
-
-* The `nix` command now provides command line completion for `bash`,
-  `zsh` and `fish`. Since the support for getting completions is built
-  into `nix`, it's easy to add support for other shells.
-
-* The new `--log-format` flag selects what Nix's output looks like. It
-  defaults to a terse progress indicator. There is a new
-  `internal-json` output format for use by other programs.
-
-* `nix eval` has a new `--apply` flag that applies a function to the
-  evaluation result.
-
-* `nix eval` has a new `--write-to` flag that allows it to write a
-  nested attribute set of string leaves to a corresponding directory
-  tree.
-
-* Memory improvements: many operations that add paths to the store or
-  copy paths between stores now run in constant memory.
-
-* Many `nix` commands now support the flag `--derivation` to operate
-  on a `.drv` file itself instead of its outputs.
-
-* There is a new store called `dummy://` that does not support
-  building or adding paths. This is useful if you want to use the Nix
-  evaluator but don't have a Nix store.
-
-* The `ssh-ng://` store now allows substituting paths on the remote,
-  as `ssh://` already did.
-
-* When auto-calling a function with an ellipsis, all arguments are now
-  passed.
-
-* New `nix-shell` features:
-
-  - It preserves the `PS1` environment variable if
-    `NIX_SHELL_PRESERVE_PROMPT` is set.
-
-  - With `-p`, it passes any `--arg`s as Nixpkgs arguments.
-
-  - Support for structured attributes.
-
-* `nix-prefetch-url` has a new `--executable` flag.
-
-* On `x86_64` systems, [`x86_64` microarchitecture
-  levels](https://lwn.net/Articles/844831/) are mapped to additional
-  system types (e.g. `x86_64-v1-linux`).
-
-* The new `--eval-store` flag allows you to use a different store for
-  evaluation than for building or storing the build result. This is
-  primarily useful when you want to query whether something exists in
-  a read-only store, such as a binary cache:
-
-  ```
-  # nix path-info --json --store https://cache.nixos.org \
-    --eval-store auto nixpkgs#hello
-  ```
-
-  (Here `auto` indicates the local store.)
-
-* The Nix daemon has a new low-latency mechanism for copying
-  closures. This is useful when building on remote stores such as
-  `ssh-ng://`.
-
-* Plugins can now register `nix` subcommands.
-
-* The `--indirect` flag to `nix-store --add-root` has become a no-op.
-  `--add-root` will always generate indirect GC roots from now on.
-
-## Incompatible changes
-
-* The `nix` command is now marked as an experimental feature. This
-  means that you need to add
-
-  ```
-  experimental-features = nix-command
-  ```
-
-  to your `nix.conf` if you want to use it, or pass
-  `--extra-experimental-features nix-command` on the command line.
-
-* The `nix` command no longer has a syntax for referring to packages
-  in a channel. This means that the following no longer works:
-
-  ```console
-  nix build nixpkgs.hello # Nix 2.3
-  ```
-
-  Instead, you can either use the `#` syntax to select a package from
-  a flake, e.g.
-
-  ```console
-  nix build nixpkgs#hello
-  ```
-
-  Or, if you want to use the `nixpkgs` channel in the `NIX_PATH`
-  environment variable:
-
-  ```console
-  nix build -f '<nixpkgs>' hello
-  ```
-
-* The old `nix run` has been renamed to `nix shell`, while there is a
-  new `nix run` that runs a default command. So instead of
-
-  ```console
-  nix run nixpkgs.hello -c hello # Nix 2.3
-  ```
-
-  you should use
-
-  ```console
-  nix shell nixpkgs#hello -c hello
-  ```
-
-  or just
-
-  ```console
-  nix run nixpkgs#hello
-  ```
-
-  if the command you want to run has the same name as the package.
-
-* It is now an error to modify the `plugin-files` setting via a
-  command-line flag that appears after the first non-flag argument to
-  any command, including a subcommand to `nix`. For example,
-  `nix-instantiate default.nix --plugin-files ""` must now become
-  `nix-instantiate --plugin-files "" default.nix`.
-
-* We no longer release source tarballs. If you want to build from
-  source, please build from the tags in the Git repository.
