<para>This is primarily a bug fix release. The following changes are
|
||||||
|
noteworthy:</para>

<itemizedlist>
|

|
<listitem>
|
||||||
|
<para>Yet another security bug involving hard links to files
|
||||||
|
outside the store was fixed. This bug only affected multi-user
|
||||||
|
installations that do not have hard link restrictions
|
||||||
|
enabled. (NixOS is thus not vulnerable.)</para>
|
||||||
|
</listitem>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<listitem>
|
||||||
|
<para>The default binary cache URL has changed from
|
||||||
|
<uri>http://nixos.org/binary-cache</uri> to
|
||||||
|
<uri>http://cache.nixos.org</uri>. The latter is hosted on Amazon
|
||||||
|
CloudFront (courtesy of <link
|
||||||
|
xlink:href="http://www.logicblox.com/">LogicBlox</link>) and
|
||||||
|
should provide better performance for users in both Europe and
|
||||||
|
North America.</para>
|
||||||
|
</listitem>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<listitem>
|
||||||
|
<para>The binary cache substituter now prints a warning message if
|
||||||
|
fetching information from the cache takes more than five seconds.
|
||||||
|
Thus network or server problems no longer make Nix appear to just
|
||||||
|
hang.</para>
|
||||||
|
</listitem>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<listitem>
|
||||||
|
<para>Stack traces now show function names, e.g.
|
||||||
|
<screen>
|
||||||
|
while evaluating `concatMapStrings' at `<replaceable>...</replaceable>/nixpkgs/pkgs/lib/strings.nix:18:25':
|
||||||
|
</screen>
|
||||||
|
Also, if a function is called with an unexpected argument, Nix
|
||||||
|
now shows the name of the argument.
