Hi, I'm pleased to announce the availability of a new stable release of the Nix package manager. Release 1.5.3 can be found at
http://hydra.nixos.org/release/nix/nix-1.5.3 This is primarily a bug fix release. The following changes are noteworthy: * 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.) * The default binary cache URL has changed from http://nixos.org/binary-cache to http://cache.nixos.org. The latter is hosted on Amazon CloudFront (courtesy of LogicBlox) and should provide better performance for users in both Europe and North America. * 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. * Stack traces now show function names, e.g. while evaluating `concatMapStrings' at `.../nixpkgs/pkgs/lib/strings.nix:18:25': Also, if a function is called with an unexpected argument, Nix now shows the name of the argument. -- Eelco Dolstra | LogicBlox, Inc. | http://nixos.org/~eelco/ _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
