+synopsis: Nix commands respect Ctrl-C
+prs: 9687 6995
+issues: 7245
+---
+
+Previously, many Nix commands would hang indefinitely if Ctrl-C was pressed
+while performing various operations (including `nix develop`, `nix flake
+update`, and so on). With several fixes to Nix's signal handlers, Nix commands
+will now exit quickly after Ctrl-C is pressed.
+
+This was actually released in Nix 2.20, but wasn't added to the release notes
+so we're announcing it here. The historical release notes have been updated as well.
