This is needed to avoid this https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/13774 when we go back to making our subproject directory `src`.
1.4 KiB
Release 1.6.1 (2013-10-28)
This is primarily a bug fix release. Changes of interest are:
-
Nix 1.6 accidentally changed the semantics of antiquoted paths in strings, such as
"${/foo}/bar". This release reverts to the Nix 1.5.3 behaviour. -
Previously, Nix optimised expressions such as
"${expr}"to expr. Thus it neither checked whether expr could be coerced to a string, nor applied such coercions. This meant that"${123}"evaluatued to123, and"${./foo}"evaluated to./foo(even though"${./foo} "evaluates to"/nix/store/hash-foo "). Nix now checks the type of antiquoted expressions and applies coercions. -
Nix now shows the exact position of undefined variables. In particular, undefined variable errors in a
withpreviously didn't show any position information, so this makes it a lot easier to fix such errors. -
Undefined variables are now treated consistently. Previously, the
tryEvalfunction would catch undefined variables inside awithbut not outside. NowtryEvalnever catches undefined variables. -
Bash completion in
nix-shellnow works correctly. -
Stack traces are less verbose: they no longer show calls to builtin functions and only show a single line for each derivation on the call stack.
-
New built-in function:
builtins.typeOf, which returns the type of its argument as a string.
