# Release 2.8 (2022-04-19)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* New experimental command: `nix fmt`, which applies a formatter
|
||
|
|
defined by the `formatter.<system>` flake output to the Nix
|
||
|
|
expressions in a flake.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Various Nix commands can now read expressions from standard input
|
||
|
|
using `--file -`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* New experimental builtin function `builtins.fetchClosure` that
|
||
|
|
copies a closure from a binary cache at evaluation time and rewrites
|
||
|
|
it to content-addressed form (if it isn't already). Like
|
||
|
|
`builtins.storePath`, this allows importing pre-built store paths;
|
||
|
|
the difference is that it doesn't require the user to configure
|
||
|
|
binary caches and trusted public keys.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This function is only available if you enable the experimental
|
||
|
|
feature `fetch-closure`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* New experimental feature: *impure derivations*. These are
|
||
|
|
derivations that can produce a different result every time they're
|
||
|
|
built. Here is an example:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```nix
|
||
|
|
stdenv.mkDerivation {
|
||
|
|
name = "impure";
|
||
|
|
__impure = true; # marks this derivation as impure
|
||
|
|
buildCommand = "date > $out";
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Running `nix build` twice on this expression will build the
|
||
|
|
derivation twice, producing two different content-addressed store
|
||
|
|
paths. Like fixed-output derivations, impure derivations have access
|
||
|
|
to the network. Only fixed-output derivations and impure derivations
|
||
|
|
can depend on an impure derivation.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* `nix store make-content-addressable` has been renamed to `nix store
|
||
|
|
make-content-addressed`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The `nixosModule` flake output attribute has been renamed consistent
|
||
|
|
with the `.default` renames in Nix 2.7.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* `nixosModule` → `nixosModules.default`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
As before, the old output will continue to work, but `nix flake check` will
|
||
|
|
issue a warning about it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* `nix run` is now stricter in what it accepts: members of the `apps`
|
||
|
|
flake output are now required to be apps (as defined in [the
|
||
|
|
manual](https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/command-ref/new-cli/nix3-run.html#apps)),
|
||
|
|
and members of `packages` or `legacyPackages` must be derivations
|
||
|
|
(not apps).
