Previously, if an attribute path selection expression like `linux_4_9.meta.description` it wouldn't show you which one of those parts in the attribute path, or even that that line of code is what caused evaluation of the failing expression.
The previous error looks like this:
```

Now, the error will look like this:

Not only does the line of code that referenced the failing attribute show up in the trace, it also tells you that it was specifically the `linux_4_9` part that failed.
This includes if the failing part is a top-level binding:

`build-dir` can now be set in the Nix configuration to choose the backing directory for the build sandbox.
This can be useful on systems with `/tmp` on tmpfs, or simply to relocate large builds to another disk.
Also, `XDG_RUNTIME_DIR` is no longer considered when selecting the default temporary directory,
as it's not intended to be used for large amounts of data.

synopsis: "Distinguish between explicit throws and errors that happened while evaluating a throw"
cls: 1511
credits: Qyriad
category: Improvements
---
Previously, errors caused by an expression like `throw "invalid argument"` were treated like an error that happened simply while some builtin function was being called:
```
let
throwMsg = p: throw "${p} isn't the right package";
in throwMsg "linuz"
error:
… while calling the 'throw' builtin
at «string»:2:17:
1| let
2| throwMsg = p: throw "${p} isn't the right package";
| ^
3| in throwMsg "linuz"
error: linuz isn't the right package
```
But the error didn't just happen "while" calling the `throw` builtin — it's a throw error!
Now it looks like this:
```
let
throwMsg = p: throw "${p} isn't the right package";
in throwMsg "linuz"
error:
… caused by explicit throw
at «string»:2:17:
1| let
2| throwMsg = p: throw "${p} isn't the right package";
| ^
3| in throwMsg "linuz"
error: linuz isn't the right package
```
This also means that incorrect usage of `throw` or errors evaluating its arguments are easily distinguishable from explicit throws:
```
let
throwMsg = p: throw "${p} isn't the right package";
in throwMsg { attrs = "error when coerced in string interpolation"; }
error:
… while calling the 'throw' builtin
at «string»:2:17:
1| let
2| throwMsg = p: throw "${p} isn't the right package";
| ^
3| in throwMsg { attrs = "error when coerced in string interpolation"; }
… while evaluating a path segment
at «string»:2:24:
1| let
2| throwMsg = p: throw "${p} isn't the right package";
| ^
3| in throwMsg { attrs = "error when coerced in string interpolation"; }
error: cannot coerce a set to a string: { attrs = "error when coerced in string interpolation"; }
```
Here, instead of an actual thrown error, a type error happens first (trying to coerce an attribute set to a string), but that type error happened *while* calling `throw`.

Now, when building fixed-output derivations, Lix will guess the URL that was used in the derivation using the `url` or `urls` properties in the derivation environment.

category: Breaking Changes
---
CppNix 2.3 was released in 2019, and is the new oldest supported version. We
will increase our support baseline in the future up to a final version of CppNix
2.18 (which may happen soon given that it is the only still-packaged and thus
still-tested >2.3 version), but this step already removes a significant amount
of dead, untested, code paths.
Lix speaks the same version of the protocol as CppNix 2.18 and that fact will
never change in the future; the Lix plans to replace the protocol for evolution
will entail a complete incompatible replacement that will be supported in
parallel with the old protocol. Lix will thus retain remote build compatibility
with CppNix as long as CppNix maintains protocol compatibility with 2.18, and
as long as Lix retains legacy protocol support (which will likely be a long
time given that we plan to convert it to a frozen-in-time shim).

A missing file is an error unless `!include` is used instead.
Paths in `include`s and option values are interpreted relative to the current configuration file.
In user configuration files, paths starting with `~/` are tilde expanded (by replacing the tilde by the value of `$HOME`).
Only user configuration files (like `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/nix/nix.conf` or the files listed in `$NIX_USER_CONF_FILES`) can use tilde paths relative to your home directory.

This section describes the notion of *deprecated features*, and how it fits into the big picture of the development of Lix.
# What are deprecated features?
Deprecated features are disabled by default, with the intent to eventually remove them.
Users must explicitly enable them to keep using them, by toggling the associated [deprecated feature flags](@docroot@/command-ref/conf-file.md#conf-deprecated-features).
This allows backwards compatibility and a graceful transition away from undesired features.
# Which features can be deprecated?
Undesired features should be soft-deprecated by yielding a warning when used for a significant amount of time before the can be deprecated.
Legacy obsolete feature with little to no usage may go through this process faster.
Deprecated features should have a migration path to a preferred alternative.
# Lifecycle of a deprecated feature
This description is not normative, but a feature removal may roughly happen like this:
1. Add a warning when the feature is being used.
2. Disable the feature by default, putting it behind a deprecated feature flag.
- If disabling the feature started out as an opt-in experimental feature, turn that experimental flag into a no-op or remove it entirely.
For example, `--extra-experimental-features=no-url-literals` becomes `--extra-deprecated-features=url-literals`.
3. Decide on a time frame for how long that feature will still be supported for backwards compatibility, and clearly communicate that in the error messages.
- Sometimes, automatic migration to alternatives is possible, and such should be provided if possible
- At least one NixOS release cycle should be the minimum
4. Finally remove the feature entirely, only keeping the error message for those still using it.
# Relation to language versioning
Obviously, removing anything breaks backwards compatibility.
In an ideal world, we'd have SemVer controls over the language and its features, cleanly allowing us to make breaking changes.
See https://wiki.lix.systems/books/lix-contributors/page/language-versioning and [RFC 137](https://github.com/nixos/rfcs/pull/137) for efforts on that.
However, we do not live in such an ideal world, and currently this goal is so far away, that "just disable it with some back-compat for a couple of years" is the most realistic solution, especially for comparatively minor changes.

## Adding experimental or deprecated features, global settings, or builtins
Experimental and deprecated features, global settings, and builtins are generally referenced both in the code and in the documentation.
To prevent duplication or divergence, they are defined in data files, and a script generates the necessary glue.
The data file format is similar to the release notes: it consists of a YAML metadata header, followed by the documentation in Markdown format.
### Experimental or deprecated features
Experimental and deprecated features support the following metadata properties:
* `name` (required): user-facing name of the feature, to be used in `nix.conf` options and on the command line.
This should also be the stem of the file name (with extension `md`).
* `internalName` (required): identifier used to refer to the feature inside the C++ code.
Experimental feature data files should live in `lix/libutil/experimental-features`, and deprecated features in `lix/libutil/deprecated-features`.
They must be listed in the `experimental_feature_definitions` or `deprecated_feature_definitions` lists in `lix/libutil/meson.build` respectively to be considered by the build system.
### Global settings
Global settings support the following metadata properties:
* `name` (required): user-facing name of the setting, to be used as key in `nix.conf` and in the `--option` command line argument.
* `internalName` (required): identifier used to refer to the setting inside the C++ code.
* `platforms` (optional): a list specifying the platforms on which this setting is available.
If not specified, it is available on all platforms.
Valid platform names are `darwin`, `linux`.
* `type` (optional): C++ type of the setting value.
This specifies the setting object type as `Setting<T>`; if more control is required, use `settingType` instead.
* `settingType` (required if `type` is not specified): C++ type of the setting object.
* `default` (optional): default value of the setting.
`null`, truth values, integers, strings and lists are supported as long as the correct YAML type is used, `type` is not taken into account).
Other types, machine-dependent values or non-standard representations must be handled using `defaultExpr` and `defaultText` instead.
* `defaultExpr` (required if `default` is not specified): a string containing the C++ expression representing the default value.
* `defaultText` (required if `default` is not specified): a string containing the Markdown expression representing the default value in the documentation.
Literal values are conventionally surrounded by backticks, and a system-dependent value is signaled by `*machine-specific*`.
* `aliases` (optional): a list of secondary user-facing names under which the setting is available.
Defaults to empty if not specified.
* `experimentalFeature` (optional): the user-facing name of the experimental feature which needs to be enabled to change the setting.
If not specified, no experimental feature is required.
* `deprecated` (optional): whether the setting is deprecated and shown as such in the documentation for `nix.conf`.
Defaults to false if not specified.
Settings are not collected in a single place in the source tree, so an appropriate place needs to be found for the setting to live.
Look for related setting definition files under second-level subdirectories of `lix` whose name includes `settings`.
Then add the new file there, and don't forget to register it in the appropriate `meson.build` file.
### Builtin functions
The following metadata properties are supported for builtin functions:
* `name` (required): the language-facing name (as a member of the `builtins` attribute set) of the function.
* `implementation` (optional): a C++ expression specifying the implementation of the builtin.
It must be a function of signature `void(EvalState &, PosIdx, Value * *, Value &)`.
If not specified, defaults to `prim_${name}`.
* `renameInGlobalScope` (optional): whether the definiton should be "hidden" in the global scope by prefixing its name with two underscores.
If not specified, defaults to `true`.
* `args` (required): list containing the names of the arguments, as shown in the documentation.
All arguments must be listed here since the function arity is derived as the length of this list.
* `experimental_feature` (optional): the user-facing name of the experimental feature which needs to be enabled for the bultin function to be available.
If not specified, no experimental feature is required.
New builtin function definition files must be added to `lix/libexpr/builtins` and registered in the `builtin_definitions` list in `lix/libexpr/meson.build`.
### Builtin constants
The following metadata properties are supported for builtin constants:
* `name` (required): the language-facing name (as a member of the `builtins` attribute set) of the constant.
* `type` (required): the Nix language type of the constant; the C++ type is automatically derived.
* `constructorArgs` (optional): list of strings containing C++ expressions passed as arguments to the appropriate `Value` constructor.
If the value computation is more complex, `implementation` can be used instead.
* `implementation` (required if `constructorArgs` is not specified): string containing a C++ expressing computing the value of the constant.
* `impure` (optional): whether the constant is considered impure.
Impure constants are not available when pure evaluation mode is activated.
Defaults to `false` when not specified.
New builtin constant definition files must be added to `lix/libexpr/builtin-constants` and registered in the `builtin_constant_definitions` list in `lix/libexpr/meson.build`.

[Comparison]: #comparison-operators
## Equality
The following equality comparison rules are followed in order:
- Comparisons are first, sometimes, performed by identity (pointer value), and whether or not this occurs varies depending on the context in which the comparison is performed; for example, through `builtins.elem`, comparison of lists, or other cases.
The exact instances in which this occurs, aside from direct list and attribute set comparisons as discussed below, are too dependent on implementation details to meaningfully document.
See [note on identity comparison](#identity-comparison) below.
- Comparisons between a combination of integers and floating point numbers are first converted to floating point then compared as floating point.
- Comparisons between values of differing types, besides the ones mentioned in the above rule, are unequal.
- Strings are compared as their string values, disregarding string contexts.
- Paths are compared as their absolute form (since they are stored as such).
- [Functions][function] are always considered unequal, including with themselves.
- The following are compared in the typical manner:
- Integers
- Floating point numbers have equality comparison per IEEE 754.
Note that this means that just like in most languages, floating point arithmetic results are not typically equality comparable, and should instead be compared by checking that the absolute difference is less than some error margin.
- Booleans
- Null
- [Attribute sets][attribute set] are compared following these rules in order:
- If both attribute sets have the same identity (via pointer equality), they are considered equal, regardless of whether the contents have reflexive equality (e.g. even if there are functions contained within).
See [note on identity comparison](#identity-comparison) below.
- If both attribute sets have `type = "derivation"` and have an attribute `outPath` that is equal, they are considered equal.
This means that two results of `builtins.derivation`, regardless of other things added to their attributes via `//` afterwards (or `passthru` in nixpkgs), will compare equal if they passed the same arguments to `builtins.derivation`.
- Otherwise, they are compared element-wise in an unspecified order.
Although this order *may* be deterministic in some cases, this is not guaranteed, and correct code must not rely on this ordering behaviour.
The order determines which elements are evaluated first and thus, if there are throwing values in the attribute set, which of those get evaluated, if any, before the comparison returns an unequal result.
- Lists are compared following these rules in order:
- If both lists have the same identity (via pointer equality), they are considered equal, regardless of whether the contents have reflexive equality (e.g. even if there are functions contained within).
See [note on identity comparison](#identity-comparison) below.
- Otherwise, they are compared element-wise in list order.
- [Attribute sets][attribute set] and [list]s are compared recursively, and therefore are fully evaluated.
- Comparison of [function]s always returns `false`.
- Numbers are type-compatible, see [arithmetic] operators.
- Floating point numbers only differ up to a limited precision.
[function]: ./constructs.md#functions
[Equality]: #equality
### Identity comparison
In the current revision of the Nix language, values are first compared by identity (pointer equality).
This means that values that are not reflexively equal (that is, they do not satisfy `a == a`), such as functions, are nonetheless sometimes compared as equal with themselves if they are placed in attribute sets or lists, or are compared through other indirect means.
Whether identity comparison applies to a given usage of the language aside from direct list and attribute set comparison is strongly dependent on implementation details to the point it is not feasible to document the exact instances.
This is rather unfortunate behaviour which is regrettably load-bearing on nixpkgs (such as with the `type` attribute of NixOS options) and cannot be changed for the time being.
It may be changed in a future major language revision.
Correct code must not rely on this behaviour.
For example:
```
nix-repl> let f = x: 1; s = { func = f; }; in [ (f == f) (s == s) ]
[ false true ]
```
## Logical implication
Equivalent to `!`*b1* `||` *b2*.
[Logical implication]: #logical-implication
## \[Experimental\] Function piping
*This language feature is still experimental and may change at any time. Enable `--extra-experimental-features pipe-operator` to use it.*
Pipes are a dedicated operator for function application, but with reverse order and a lower binding strength.
This allows you to chain function calls together in way that is more natural to read and requires less parentheses.
`a |> f b |> g` is equivalent to `g (f b a)`.
`g <| f b <| a` is equivalent to `g (f b a)`.
Example code snippet:
```nix
defaultPrefsFile = defaultPrefs
|> lib.mapAttrsToList (
key: value: ''
// ${value.reason}
pref("${key}", ${builtins.toJSON value.value});
''
)
|> lib.concatStringsSep "\n"
|> pkgs.writeText "nixos-default-prefs.js";
```
Note how `mapAttrsToList` is called with two arguments (the lambda and `defaultPrefs`),
but moving the last argument in front of the rest improves the reading flow.
This is common for functions with long first argument, including all `map`-like functions.

Integers in the Nix language are 64-bit signed integers.
Integer overflow is defined to throw an error.

## Breaking Changes
- Block io_uring in the Linux sandbox [cl/1611](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1611)
The io\_uring API has the unfortunate property that it is not possible to selectively decide which operations should be allowed.
This, together with the fact that new operations are routinely added, makes it a hazard to the proper function of the sandbox.
Therefore, any access to io\_uring has been made unavailable inside the sandbox.
As such, attempts to execute any system calls forming part of this API will fail with the error `ENOSYS`, as if io\_uring support had not been configured into the kernel.
Many thanks to [alois31](https://git.lix.systems/alois31) for this.
- The `build-hook` setting is now deprecated
Build hooks communicate with the daemon using a custom, internal, undocumented protocol that is entirely unversioned and cannot be changed.
Since we intend to change it anyway we must unfortunately deprecate the current build hook infrastructure.
We do not expect this to impact most users—we have not found any uses of `build-hook` in the wild—but if this does affect you, we'd like to hear from you!
- Lix no longer speaks the Nix remote-build worker protocol to clients or servers older than CppNix 2.3 [fj#325](https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/325) [cl/1207](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1207) [cl/1208](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1208) [cl/1206](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1206) [cl/1205](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1205) [cl/1204](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1204) [cl/1203](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1203) [cl/1479](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1479)
CppNix 2.3 was released in 2019, and is the new oldest supported version. We
will increase our support baseline in the future up to a final version of CppNix
2.18 (which may happen soon given that it is the only still-packaged and thus
still-tested >2.3 version), but this step already removes a significant amount
of dead, untested, code paths.
Lix speaks the same version of the protocol as CppNix 2.18 and that fact will
never change in the future; the Lix plans to replace the protocol for evolution
will entail a complete incompatible replacement that will be supported in
parallel with the old protocol. Lix will thus retain remote build compatibility
with CppNix as long as CppNix maintains protocol compatibility with 2.18, and
as long as Lix retains legacy protocol support (which will likely be a long
time given that we plan to convert it to a frozen-in-time shim).

## Improvements
- Trace which part of a `foo.bar.baz` expression errors [cl/1505](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1505) [cl/1506](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1506)
Previously, if an attribute path selection expression like `linux_4_9.meta.description` it wouldn't show you which one of those parts in the attribute path, or even that that line of code is what caused evaluation of the failing expression.
The previous error looks like this:
```
pkgs.linuxKernel.kernels.linux_4_9.meta.description
error:

Now, the error will look like this:
```

Not only does the line of code that referenced the failing attribute show up in the trace, it also tells you that it was specifically the `linux_4_9` part that failed.
This includes if the failing part is a top-level binding:

- Confusing 'invalid path' errors are now 'path does not exist' [cl/1161](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1161) [cl/1160](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1160) [cl/1159](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1159)
Previously, if a path did not exist in a Nix store, it was referred to as the internal name "path is invalid".
This is, however, very confusing, and there were numerous such errors that were exactly the same, making it hard to debug.
These errors are now more specific and refer to the path not existing in the store.

- Add a `build-dir` setting to set the backing directory for builds [gh#10303](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/10303) [gh#10312](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/10312) [gh#10883](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/10883) [cl/1514](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1514)
`build-dir` can now be set in the Nix configuration to choose the backing directory for the build sandbox.
This can be useful on systems with `/tmp` on tmpfs, or simply to relocate large builds to another disk.
Also, `XDG_RUNTIME_DIR` is no longer considered when selecting the default temporary directory,
as it's not intended to be used for large amounts of data.

- Better usage of colour control environment variables [cl/1699](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1699) [cl/1702](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1702)
Lix now heeds `NO_COLOR`/`NOCOLOR` for more output types, such as that used in `nix search`, `nix flake metadata` and similar.
It also now supports `CLICOLOR_FORCE`/`FORCE_COLOR` to force colours regardless of whether there is a terminal on the other side.
It now follows rules compatible with those described on <https://bixense.com/clicolors/> with `CLICOLOR` defaulted to enabled.
That is to say, the following procedure is followed in order:
- NO_COLOR or NOCOLOR set
Always disable colour
- CLICOLOR_FORCE or FORCE_COLOR set
Enable colour
- The output is a tty; TERM != "dumb"
Enable colour
- Otherwise
Disable colour
Many thanks to [jade](https://git.lix.systems/jade) for this.
- Distinguish between explicit throws and errors that happened while evaluating a throw [cl/1511](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1511)
Previously, errors caused by an expression like `throw "invalid argument"` were treated like an error that happened simply while some builtin function was being called:
```
let
throwMsg = p: throw "${p} isn't the right package";
in throwMsg "linuz"
error:
… while calling the 'throw' builtin
at «string»:2:17:
1| let
2| throwMsg = p: throw "${p} isn't the right package";
| ^
3| in throwMsg "linuz"
error: linuz isn't the right package
```
But the error didn't just happen "while" calling the `throw` builtin — it's a throw error!
Now it looks like this:
```
let
throwMsg = p: throw "${p} isn't the right package";
in throwMsg "linuz"
error:
… caused by explicit throw
at «string»:2:17:
1| let
2| throwMsg = p: throw "${p} isn't the right package";
| ^
3| in throwMsg "linuz"
error: linuz isn't the right package
```
This also means that incorrect usage of `throw` or errors evaluating its arguments are easily distinguishable from explicit throws:
```
let
throwMsg = p: throw "${p} isn't the right package";
in throwMsg { attrs = "error when coerced in string interpolation"; }
error:
… while calling the 'throw' builtin
at «string»:2:17:
1| let
2| throwMsg = p: throw "${p} isn't the right package";
| ^
3| in throwMsg { attrs = "error when coerced in string interpolation"; }
… while evaluating a path segment
at «string»:2:24:
1| let
2| throwMsg = p: throw "${p} isn't the right package";
| ^
3| in throwMsg { attrs = "error when coerced in string interpolation"; }
error: cannot coerce a set to a string: { attrs = "error when coerced in string interpolation"; }
```
Here, instead of an actual thrown error, a type error happens first (trying to coerce an attribute set to a string), but that type error happened *while* calling `throw`.

- `nix flake metadata` prints modified date [cl/1700](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1700)

- Hash mismatch diagnostics for fixed-output derivations include the URL [cl/1536](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1536)
Now, when building fixed-output derivations, Lix will guess the URL that was used in the derivation using the `url` or `urls` properties in the derivation environment.
This is a layering violation but making these diagnostics tractable when there are multiple instances of the `AAAA` hash is too significant of an improvement to pass it up.
```

Added two new log formats (`multiline` and `multiline-with-logs`) that display
current activities below each other for better visibility.
These formats attempt to use the maximum available lines
(defaulting to 25 if unable to determine) and print up to that many lines.
The status bar is displayed as the first line, with each subsequent
activity on its own line.

- Eliminate some pretty-printing surprises [#11100](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/11100) [cl/1616](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1616) [cl/1617](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1617) [cl/1618](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1618)
Some inconsistent and surprising behaviours have been eliminated from the pretty-printing used by the REPL and `nix eval`:
* Lists and attribute sets that contain only a single item without nested structures are no longer sometimes inappropriately indented in the REPL, depending on internal state of the evaluator.
* Empty attribute sets and derivations are no longer shown as `«repeated»`, since they are always cheap to print.
This matches the existing behaviour of `nix-instantiate` on empty attribute sets.
Empty lists were never printed as `«repeated»` already.
* The REPL by default does not print nested attribute sets and lists, and indicates elided items with an ellipsis.
Previously, the ellipsis was printed even when the structure was empty, so that such items do not in fact exist.
Since this behaviour was confusing, it does not happen any more.

- `nix registry add` now requires a shorthand flakeref on the 'from' side [cl/1494](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1494)
The 'from' argument must now be a shorthand flakeref like `nixpkgs` or `nixpkgs/nixos-20.03`, making it harder to accidentally swap the 'from' and 'to' arguments.
Registry entries that map from other flake URLs can still be specified in registry.json, the `nix.registry` option in NixOS, or the `--override-flake` option in the CLI, but they are not guaranteed to work correctly.
Many thanks to [delan](https://git.lix.systems/delan) for this.
- Allow automatic rejection of configuration options from flakes [cl/1541](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1541)
Setting `accept-flake-config` to `false` now respects user choice by automatically rejecting configuration options set by flakes.
The old behaviour of asking each time is still available (and default) by setting it to the special value `ask`.
Many thanks to [alois31](https://git.lix.systems/alois31) for this.
- `nix repl` now allows tab-completing the special repl :colon commands [cl/1367](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1367)
The REPL (`nix repl`) supports pressing `<TAB>` to complete a partial expression, but now also supports completing the special :colon commands as well (`:b`, `:edit`, `:doc`, etc), if the line starts with a colon.
Many thanks to [Qyriad](https://git.lix.systems/Qyriad) for this.
- `:edit`ing a file in Nix store no longer reloads the repl [fj#341](https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/341) [cl/1620](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1620)
Calling `:edit` from the repl now only reloads if the file being edited was outside of Nix store.
That means that all the local variables are now preserved across `:edit`s of store paths.
This is always safe because the store is read-only.
Many thanks to [goldstein](https://git.lix.systems/goldstein) for this.

## Fixes
- Define integer overflow in the Nix language as an error [fj#423](https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/423) [cl/1594](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1594) [cl/1595](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1595) [cl/1597](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1597) [cl/1609](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1609)
Previously, integer overflow in the Nix language invoked C++ level signed overflow, which was undefined behaviour, but *probably* manifested as wrapping around on overflow.
Since prior to the public release of Lix, Lix had C++ signed overflow defined to crash the process and nobody noticed this having accidentally removed overflow from the Nix language for three months until it was caught by fiddling around.
Given the significant body of actual Nix code that has been evaluated by Lix in that time, it does not appear that nixpkgs or much of importance depends on integer overflow, so it is safe to turn into an error.
Some other overflows were fixed:
- `builtins.fromJSON` of values greater than the maximum representable value in a signed 64-bit integer will generate an error.
- `nixConfig` in flakes will no longer accept negative values for configuration options.
Integer overflow now looks like the following:
```
» nix eval --expr '9223372036854775807 + 1'
error: integer overflow in adding 9223372036854775807 + 1
```

- Fix nix-collect-garbage --dry-run [fj#432](https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/432) [cl/1566](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1566)
`nix-collect-garbage --dry-run` did not previously give any output - it simply
exited without even checking to see what paths would be deleted.
```
$ nix-collect-garbage --dry-run
$
```
We updated the behaviour of the flag such that instead it prints out how many
paths it *would* delete, but doesn't actually delete them.
```
$ nix-collect-garbage --dry-run

We fixed a locking bug that serialized `querying info about /nix/store/...`
onto just one thread such that it was eating `O(paths to copy * latency)` time
while setting up to copy paths to s3 and other stores. It is now `nproc` times
faster.
Many thanks to [jade](https://git.lix.systems/jade) for this.
## Development
- clang-tidy support [fj#147](https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/147) [cl/1697](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1697)
`clang-tidy` can be used to lint Lix with a limited set of lints using `ninja -C build clang-tidy` and `ninja -C build clang-tidy-fix`.
In practice, this fixes the built-in meson rule that was used the same as above being broken ever since precompiled headers were introduced.
Many thanks to [jade](https://git.lix.systems/jade) for this.
- Lix now supports building with UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer [cl/1483](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1483) [cl/1481](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1481) [cl/1669](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1669)
You can now build Lix with the configuration option `-Db_sanitize=undefined,address` and it will both work and pass tests with both AddressSanitizer and UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer enabled.
To use ASan specifically, you have to set `-Dgc=disabled`, which an error message will tell you to do if necessary anyhow.
Furthermore, tests passing with Clang ASan+UBSan is checked on every change in CI.
For a list of undefined behaviour found by tooling usage, see [the gerrit topic "undefined-behaviour"](https://gerrit.lix.systems/q/topic:%22undefined-behaviour%22).

# Lix 2.92 "Bombe glacée" (2025-01-18)
# Lix 2.92.2 (2025-06-23)
## Breaking Changes
- Fixed output derivations can be run using `pasta` network isolation [fj#285](https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/285) [cl/3430](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/3430)
Fixed output derivations traditionally run in the host network namespace.
On Linux this allows such derivations to communicate with other sandboxes
or the host using the abstract Unix domains socket namespace; this hasn't
been unproblematic in the past and has been used in two distinct exploits
to break out of the sandbox. For this reason fixed output derivations can
now run in a network namespace (provided by [`pasta`]), restricted to TCP
and UDP communication with the rest of the world. When enabled this could
be a breaking change and we classify it as such, even though we don't yet
enable or require such isolation by default. We may enforce this in later
releases of Lix once we have sufficient confidence that breakage is rare.
[`pasta`]: https://passt.top/
Many thanks to [eldritch horrors](https://git.lix.systems/pennae) and [puck](https://git.lix.systems/puck) for this.
## Fixes
- Always clean up scratch paths after derivations failed to build [cl/3432](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/3432)
Previously, scratch paths created during builds were not always cleaned up if
the derivation failed, potentially leaving behind unnecessary temporary files
or directories in the Nix store.
This fix ensures that such paths are consistently removed after a failed build,
improving Nix store hygiene, hardening Lix against mis-reuse of failed builds
scratch paths.
Many thanks to [Raito Bezarius](https://git.lix.systems/raito) and [eldritch horrors](https://git.lix.systems/pennae) for this.
- `build-dir` no longer defaults to `temp-dir` [cl/3431](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/3431)
The directory in which temporary build directories are created no longer defaults
to the value of the `temp-dir` setting to avoid builders making their directories
world-accessible. This behavior has been used to escape the build sandbox and can
cause build impurities even when not used maliciously. We now default to `builds`
in `NIX_STATE_DIR` (which is `/nix/var/nix/builds` in the default configuration).
Many thanks to [eldritch horrors](https://git.lix.systems/pennae) for this.
- Forbid impure path accesses in pure evaluation mode again [cl/2708](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/2708)
Lix 2.92.0 mistakenly started allowing the access to ancestors of allowed paths in pure evaluation mode.
This made it possible to bypass the purity restrictions, for example by copying arbitrary files to the store:
```nix
builtins.path {
path = "/";
filter = …;
}
```
Restore the previous behaviour of prohibiting such impure accesses.
Many thanks to [alois31](https://git.lix.systems/alois31) for this.
- Parsing failures in flake.lock no longer crash Lix [fj#559](https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/559) [cl/2401](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/2401)
Failure to parse `flake.lock` no longer hard-crashes Lix and instead produces a nice error message.
```
error:
… while updating the lock file of flake 'git+file:///Users/jade/lix/lix2'
… while parsing the lock file at /nix/store/mm5dqh8a729yazzj82cjffxl97n5c62s-source//flake.lock

```
Many thanks to [gilice](https://git.lix.systems/gilice) for this.
- Fix `--debugger --ignore-try` [cl/2440](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/2440)
When in debug mode (e.g. from using the `--debugger` flag), enabling [`ignore-try`](@docroot@/command-ref/conf-file.md#conf-ignore-try) once again properly disables debug REPLs within [`builtins.tryEval`](@docroot@/language/builtins.md#builtins-tryEval) calls. Previously, a debug REPL would be started as if `ignore-try` was disabled, but that REPL wouldn't actually be in debug mode, and upon exiting the REPL the evaluating process would segfault.
Many thanks to [Dusk Banks](https://git.lix.systems/bb010g) for this.
# Lix 2.92.0 (2025-01-18)
## Breaking Changes
- Deprecated language features [fj#437](https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/437) [#861](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/861) [cl/1785](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1785) [cl/1736](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1736) [cl/1735](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1735) [cl/1744](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1744) [cl/2206](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/2206)
A system for deprecation (and then the planned removal) of undesired language features has been put into place.
It is controlled via feature flags much like experimental features, except that the deprecations are enabled default,
and can be disabled via the flags for backwards compatibility (opt-out with `--extra-deprecated-features` or the Nix configuration file).
- `url-literals`: **URL literals** have long been obsolete and discouraged of use, and now they are officially deprecated.
This means that all URLs must be properly put within quotes like all other strings.
- `rec-set-overrides`: **__overrides** is an old arcane syntax which has not been in use for more than a decade.
It is soft-deprecated with a warning only, with the plan to turn that into an error in a future release.
- `ancient-let`: **The old `let` syntax** (`let { body = …; … }`) is soft-deprecated with a warning as well. Use the regular `let … in` instead.
- `shadow-internal-symbols`: Arithmetic expressions like `5 - 3` internally expand to `__sub 5 3`, where `__sub` maps to a subtraction builtin. Shadowing such a symbols would affect the evaluation of such operations, but in a very inconsistent way, and is therefore deprecated now. **Affected symbols are:** `__sub`, `__mul`, `__div` and `__lessThan`. Note that these symbols may still be used as variable names as long as they do not shadow internal operations, so e.g. `let __sub = x: y: x + y; in __sub 3 5` remains valid code.
- **Call to action:** If you have any use cases or workflows that depend on being able to override the `__nixPath` and `__findFile` symbols, please reach out to us. We want to eventually deprecate overriding these as well, and need input on how to design a better alternative.
Many thanks to [piegames](https://git.lix.systems/piegames) and [eldritch horrors](https://git.lix.systems/pennae) for this.
- transfers no longer allow arbitrary url schemas [cl/2106](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/2106)
Lix no longer allows transfers using arbitrary url schemas. Only `http://`, `https://`, `ftp://`, `ftps://`, and `file://` urls are supported going forward. This affects `builtins.fetchurl`, `<nix/fetchurl.nix>`, transfers to and from binary caches, and all other uses of the internal file transfer code. Flake inputs using multi-protocol schemas (e.g. `git+ssh`) are not affected as those use external utilities to transfer data.
The `s3://` scheme is not affected at all by this change and continues to work if S3 support is built into Lix.
Many thanks to [eldritch horrors](https://git.lix.systems/pennae) for this.
- Removing the `.` default argument passed to the `nix fmt` formatter [#11438](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/11438) [cl/1902](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1902)
The underlying formatter no longer receives the ". " default argument when `nix fmt` is called with no arguments.
This change was necessary as the formatter wasn't able to distinguish between
a user wanting to format the current folder with `nix fmt .` or the generic
`nix fmt`.
The default behaviour is now the responsibility of the formatter itself, and
allows tools such as treefmt to format the whole tree instead of only the
current directory and below.
This may cause issues with some formatters: nixfmt, nixpkgs-fmt and alejandra currently format stdin when no arguments are passed.
Here is a small wrapper example that will restore the previous behaviour for such a formatter:
```nix
{
outputs = { self, nixpkgs, systems }:
let
eachSystem = nixpkgs.lib.genAttrs (import systems) (system: nixpkgs.legacyPackages.${system});
in
{
formatter = eachSystem (pkgs:
pkgs.writeShellScriptBin "formatter" ''
if [[ $# = 0 ]]; set -- .; fi
exec "${pkgs.nixfmt-rfc-style}/bin/nixfmt "$@"
'');
};
}
```
Many thanks to [zimbatm](https://github.com/zimbatm) for this.
## Features
- Relative and tilde paths in configuration [fj#482](https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/482) [cl/1851](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1851) [cl/1863](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1863) [cl/1864](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1864)
[Configuration settings](@docroot@/command-ref/conf-file.md) can now refer to
files with paths relative to the file they're written in or relative to your
home directory (with `~/`).
This makes settings like
[`repl-overlays`](@docroot@/command-ref/conf-file.md#conf-repl-overlays) and
[`secret-key-files`](@docroot@/command-ref/conf-file.md#conf-repl-overlays)
much easier to set, especially if you'd like to refer to files in an existing
dotfiles repo cloned into your home directory.
If you put `repl-overlays = repl.nix` in your `~/.config/nix/nix.conf`, it'll
load `~/.config/nix/repl.nix`. Similarly, you can set `repl-overlays =
~/.dotfiles/repl.nix` to load a file relative to your home directory.
Configuration files can also
[`include`](@docroot@/command-ref/conf-file.md#file-format) paths relative to
your home directory.
Only user configuration files (like `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/nix/nix.conf` or the
files listed in `$NIX_USER_CONF_FILES`) can use tilde paths relative to your
home directory. Configuration listed in the `$NIX_CONFIG` environment variable
may not use relative paths.
Many thanks to [wiggles](https://git.lix.systems/rbt) for this.
## Improvements
- Improved error messages for bad attr paths [cl/2277](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/2277) [cl/2280](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/2280)
Lix now includes much more detail when a bad attribute path is accessed at the command line:
```
» nix eval -f '<nixpkgs>' lixVersions.lix_2_92
error: attribute 'lix_2_92' in selection path 'lixVersions.lix_2_92' not found
Did you mean one of lix_2_90 or lix_2_91?
```
After:
```
» nix eval --impure -f '<nixpkgs>' lixVersions.lix_2_92
error: attribute 'lix_2_92' in selection path 'lixVersions.lix_2_92' not found inside path 'lixVersions', whose contents are: { __unfix__ = «lambda @ /nix/store/hfz1qqd0z8amlgn8qwich1dvkmldik36-source/lib/fixed-points.nix:
447:7»; buildLix = «thunk»; extend = «thunk»; latest = «thunk»; lix_2_90 = «thunk»; lix_2_91 = «thunk»; override = «thunk»; overrideDerivation = «thunk»; recurseForDerivations = true; stable = «thunk»; }
Did you mean one of lix_2_90 or lix_2_91?
```
This should avoid some unnecessary trips to the repl or to the debugger by giving some information about the value being selected on that was unexpected.
Many thanks to [jade](https://git.lix.systems/jade) for this.
- Small error message improvements [cl/2185](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/2185) [cl/2187](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/2187)
When an attribute selection fails, the error message now correctly points to the attribute in the chain that failed instead of at the beginning of the entire chain.
```diff
error: attribute 'x' missing
- at /pwd/lang/eval-fail-remove.nix:4:3:
+ at /pwd/lang/eval-fail-remove.nix:4:29:
3| in
4| (removeAttrs attrs ["x"]).x
- | ^
+ | ^
5|
```
Failed asserts don't print the failed assertion expression anymore in the error message. That code was buggy and the information was redundant anyways, given that the error position already more accurately shows what exactly failed.
Many thanks to [piegames](https://git.lix.systems/piegames) for this.
- Improvements to interactive flake config [cl/2066](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/2066)
If `accept-flake-config` is set to `ask` and a `flake.nix` defines `nixConfig`,
Lix will ask on the CLI which of these settings should be used for the command.
Now, it's possible to answer with `N` (as opposed to `n` to only reject the setting
that is asked for) to reject _all untrusted_ entries from the flake's `nixConf`
section.
Many thanks to [ma27](https://git.lix.systems/ma27) for this.
- `nix --version` now shows details about the installation by default [fj#620](https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/620) [cl/2365](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/2365)
This happened with `nix-env --version` by default, but due to [oddities around the nix3 CLI's verbosity](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1370), it used to be `nix --verbose --version`.
No longer:
```
$ nix --version
nix (Lix, like Nix) 2.92.0-dev-pre20250117-0d14c2b
System type: x86_64-linux
Additional system types: i686-linux, x86_64-v1-linux, x86_64-v2-linux, x86_64-v3-linux

```
Many thanks to [just1602](https://git.lix.systems/just1602) for this.
- `nix repl` correctly tab-completes attribute names that require quotes [cl/1783](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1783)
The REPL (`nix repl`) now includes quotes as part of attribute names while completing with `<TAB>`,
if necessary. For example, attribute names like `"hello@example.com"` or `"hello world"` would
be suggested without quotes, resulting in invalid syntax.
Many thanks to [ian-h-chamberlain](https://git.lix.systems/ian-h-chamberlain) for this.
- Reproducibility check builds now report all differing outputs [cl/2069](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/2069)
`nix-build --check` allows rerunning the build of an already-built derivation to check that it produces the same output again.
If a multiple-output derivation with impure behaviour is built with `--check`, only the first output would be shown in the resulting error message (and kept for comparison):
```
error: derivation '/nix/store/4spy3nz1661zm15gkybsy1h5f36aliwx-python3.11-test-1.0.0.drv' may not be deterministic: output '/nix/store/ccqcp01zg18wp9iadzmzimqzdi3ll08d-python3.11-test
-1.0.0-dist' differs from '/nix/store/ccqcp01zg18wp9iadzmzimqzdi3ll08d-python3.11-test-1.0.0-dist.check'
```
Now, all differing outputs are kept and reported:
```
error: derivation '4spy3nz1661zm15gkybsy1h5f36aliwx-python3.11-test-1.0.0.drv' may not be deterministic: outputs differ
output differs: output '/nix/store/ccqcp01zg18wp9iadzmzimqzdi3ll08d-python3.11-test-1.0.0-dist' differs from '/nix/store/ccqcp01zg18wp9iadzmzimqzdi3ll08d-python3.11-test-1.0.0-dist.check'
output differs: output '/nix/store/yl59v08356i841c560alb0zmk7q16klb-python3.11-test-1.0.0' differs from '/nix/store/yl59v08356i841c560alb0zmk7q16klb-python3.11-test-1.0.0.check'
```
Many thanks to [lheckemann](https://git.lix.systems/lheckemann) for this.
- Some Lix crashes now produce reporting instructions and a stack trace, then abort [cl/1854](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1854)
Lix, being a C++ program, can crash in a few kinds of ways.
It can obviously do a memory access violation, which will generate a core dump and thus be relatively debuggable.
But, worse, it could throw an unhandled exception, and, in the past, we would just show the message but not where it comes from, in spite of this always being a bug, since we expect all such errors to be translated to a Lix specific error.
Now the latter kind of bug should print reporting instructions, a rudimentary stack trace and (depending on system configuration) generate a core dump.
Sample output:
```
Lix crashed. This is a bug. We would appreciate if you report it along with what caused it at https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues with the following information included:
Exception: std::runtime_error: test exception

- Add a `temp-dir` setting to set the temporary directory location [#7731](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/7731) [#8995](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/8995) [fj#112](https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/112) [fj#253](https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/253) [cl/2103](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/2103)
[`temp-dir`](@docroot@/command-ref/conf-file.md#conf-temp-dir) can now be set in the Nix
configuration to change the temporary directory. This can be used to relocate all temporary files
to another filesystem without affecting the `TMPDIR` env var inherited by interactive
`nix-shell`/`nix shell` shells or `nix run` commands.
Also on macOS, the `TMPDIR` env var is no longer unset for interactive shells when pointing
to a per-session `/var/folders/` directory.
Many thanks to [lilyball](https://git.lix.systems/lilyball) for this.
## Fixes
- Build failures caused by `allowSubstitutes = false` while being the wrong system now produce a decent error [fj#484](https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/484) [cl/1841](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1841)
Nix allows derivations to set `allowSubstitutes = false` in order to force them to be built locally without querying substituters for them.
This is useful for derivations that are very fast to build (especially if they produce large output).
However, this can shoot you in the foot if the derivation *has* to be substituted such as if the derivation is for another architecture, which is what `--always-allow-substitutes` is for.
Perhaps such derivations that are known to be impossible to build locally should ignore `allowSubstitutes` (irrespective of remote builders) in the future, but this at least reports the failure and solution directly.
```
$ nix build -f fail.nix
error: a 'unicornsandrainbows-linux' with features {} is required to build '/nix/store/...-meow.drv', but I am a 'x86_64-linux' with features {...}
Hint: the failing derivation has allowSubstitutes set to false, forcing it to be built rather than substituted.
Passing --always-allow-substitutes to force substitution may resolve this failure if the path is available in a substituter.
```
Many thanks to [jade](https://git.lix.systems/jade) for this.
- `Alt+Left` and `Alt+Right` go back/forwards by words in `nix repl` [fj#501](https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/501) [cl/1883](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1883)
`nix repl` now recognizes `Alt+Left` and `Alt+Right` for navigating by words
when entering input in `nix repl` on more terminals/platforms.
Many thanks to [wiggles](https://git.lix.systems/rbt) for this.
- Ctrl-C stops Nix commands much more reliably and responsively [#7245](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/7245) [fj#393](https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/393) [#11618](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/11618) [cl/2016](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/2016)
CTRL-C will now stop Nix commands much more reliably and responsively. While
there are still some cases where a Nix command can be slow or unresponsive
following a `SIGINT` (please report these as issues!), the vast majority of
signals will now cause the Nix command to quit quickly and consistently.
Many thanks to [Robert Hensing](https://github.com/roberth) and [wiggles](https://git.lix.systems/rbt) for this.
- restore backwards-compatibility of `builtins.fetchGit` with Nix 2.3 [#5291](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/5291) [#5128](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/5128)
Compatibility with `builtins.fetchGit` from Nix 2.3 has been restored as follows:
* Until now, each `ref` was prefixed with `refs/heads` unless it starts with `refs/` itself.
Now, this is not done if the `ref` looks like a commit hash.
* Specifying `builtins.fetchGit { ref = "a-tag"; /* … */ }` was broken because `refs/heads` was appended.
Now, the fetcher doesn't turn a ref into `refs/heads/ref`, but into `refs/*/ref`. That way,
the value in `ref` can be either a tag or a branch.
* The ref resolution happens the same way as in git:
* If `refs/ref` exists, it's used.
* If a tag `refs/tags/ref` exists, it's used.
* If a branch `refs/heads/ref` exists, it's used.
Many thanks to [ma27](https://git.lix.systems/ma27) for this.
- Flakes/restrict-eval no longer allow reading contents of impure paths
Flakes and `--restrict-eval` now correctly restrict access to paths as intended.
In prior versions since at least 2.18, `nix eval --raw .#lol` for the following flake didn't throw an error and acted as if `--impure` was passed.
Thanks to the person who reported this for telling us about it.
This was handled as a low-severity security bug, but is not a violation of the [documented security model](../installation/multi-user.md) as untrusted Nix code should be assumed to have the privileges of the user running the evaluator.
To report a security bug, email a report to `security at lix dot systems`.
```nix
{
inputs = {};
outputs = {...}: {
lol = builtins.readFile "${/etc/passwd}";
};
}
```
Many thanks to [eldritch horrors](https://git.lix.systems/pennae) for this.
- HTTP proxy environment variables are now respected for S3 binary cache stores [fj#433](https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/433) [cl/1788](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1788)
Due to "legacy reasons" (according to the AWS C++ SDK docs), the AWS SDK ignores system proxy configuration by default.
We turned it back on.
Many thanks to [jade](https://git.lix.systems/jade) for this.
- Fix potential store corruption with auto-optimise-store [#7273](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/7273) [cl/2100](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/2100)
Optimising store paths (and other operations involving temporary files) no longer use `random(3)`
to generate filenames. On darwin systems this was observed to potentially cause store corruption
when using [`auto-optimise-store`](@docroot@/command-ref/conf-file.md#conf-auto-optimise-store),
though this corruption was possible on any system whose `random(3)` does not have locking around
the global state.
Many thanks to [lilyball](https://git.lix.systems/lilyball) for this.
- Change `nix-build -o ""` to behave like `--no-out-link` [cl/2103](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/2103)
[`nix-build`](@docroot@/command-ref/nix-build.md) now treats <code>[--out-link](@docroot@/command-ref/nix-build.md#opt-out-link) ''</code>
the same as [`--no-out-link`](@docroot@/command-ref/nix-build.md#opt-no-out-link). This matches
[`nix build`](@docroot@/command-ref/new-cli/nix3-build.md) behavior. Previously when building the default output it
would have resulted in throwing an error saying the current working directory already exists, and when building any
other output it would have resulted in a symlink starting with a hyphen such as `-doc`, which is a footgun for
terminal commands.
Many thanks to [lilyball](https://git.lix.systems/lilyball) for this.
- Ignore broken `/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt` symlink [fj#560](https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/560) [cl/2144](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/2144)
[`ssl-cert-file`](@docroot@/command-ref/conf-file.md#conf-ssl-cert-file) now checks its default
value for a broken symlink before using it. This fixes a problem on macOS where uninstalling
nix-darwin may leave behind a broken symlink at `/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt` that was
stopping Lix from using the cert at `/nix/var/nix/profiles/default/etc/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt`.
Many thanks to [lilyball](https://git.lix.systems/lilyball) for this.
- `<nix/fetchurl.nix>` now uses TLS verification [#11585](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/11585)
Previously `<nix/fetchurl.nix>` did not do TLS verification. This was because the Nix sandbox in the past did not have access to TLS certificates, and Nix checks the hash of the fetched file anyway. However, this can expose authentication data from `netrc` and URLs to man-in-the-middle attackers. In addition, Nix now in some cases (such as when using impure derivations) does *not* check the hash. Therefore we have now enabled TLS verification. This means that downloads by `<nix/fetchurl.nix>` will now fail if you're fetching from a HTTPS server that does not have a valid certificate.
`<nix/fetchurl.nix>` is also known as the builtin derivation builder `builtin:fetchurl`. It's not to be confused with the evaluation-time function `builtins.fetchurl`, which was not affected by this issue.
Many thanks to [Eelco Dolstra](https://github.com/edolstra) for this.
## Packaging
- readline support removed [cl/1885](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1885)
Support for building Lix with [`readline`][readline] instead of
[`editline`][editline] has been removed. `readline` support hasn't worked for a
long time (attempting to use it would lead to build errors) and would make Lix
subject to the GPL if it did work. In the future, we're hoping to replace
`editline` with [`rustyline`][rustyline] for improved ergonomics in the `nix
repl`.

## Development
- Includes are now qualified with library name everywhere [cl/2178](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/2178) [cl/2362](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/2362)
The Lix includes have all been rearranged to be of the form `"lix/libexpr/foo.hh"` instead of `"foo.hh"`.
This was already supported externally for a migration period, but it is now being applied to all the internal usages within Lix itself.
The goal of this change is to both clarify where a file is from and to avoid polluting global include paths with things like `config.h` that might conflict with other projects.
Lix 2.92 removes support for the old `"foo.hh"` include form either internally or externally (that is, via pkg-config for things linking to Lix).
For other details, see the release notes of Lix 2.90.0, under "Rename all the libraries" in Breaking Changes.
To fix an external project with sources in `src` which has a separate build directory (such that headers are in `../src` relative to where the compiler is running), use a checkout of Lix 2.91 to run the following:
```
lix_root=$HOME/lix
(cd $lix_root && nix develop -c 'meson setup build && ninja -C build subprojects/lix-clang-tidy/liblix-clang-tidy.so')
run-clang-tidy -checks='-*,lix-fixincludes' -load=$lix_root/build/subprojects/lix-clang-tidy/liblix-clang-tidy.so -p build/ -header-filter '\.\./src/.*\.h' -fix src
```
Many thanks to [jade](https://git.lix.systems/jade) for this.
- The beginnings of a new pytest-based functional test suite [cl/2036](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/2036) [cl/2037](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/2037)
The existing integration/functional test suite is based on a large volume of shell scripts.
This often makes it somewhat challenging to debug at the best of times.
The goal of the pytest test suite is to make tests have more obvious dependencies on files and to make tests more concise and easier to write, as well as making new testing methods like snapshot testing easy.
Many thanks to [jade](https://git.lix.systems/jade) for this.
- Dependency on monolithic coreutils removed [cl/2108](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/2108)
Previously, the build erroneously depended on a `coreutils` binary, which requires `coreutils` to be built with a specific configuration. This was only used in one test and was not required to be a single binary. This dependency is removed now.
Many thanks to [Vigress](https://git.lix.systems/vigress8) for this.
- All Lix threads are named [cl/2210](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/2210)
Lix now sets thread names on all of its secondary threads, which will make debugger usage slightly nicer and easier.

- Set `X-GitHub-Api-Version` header [fj#255](https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/255) [cl/1925](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1925)
Sets the `X-GitHub-Api-Version` header to `2022-11-28` for calls to the
GitHub API.
This follows the later version as per
https://docs.github.com/en/rest/about-the-rest-api/api-versions?apiVersion=2022-11-28.
This affected the check on whether to use the API versus unauthenticated
calls as well, given the headers would no longer be empty if the
authentication token were missing.
The workaround to this used here is to use a check similar to an existing
check for the token.
In the current implementation, headers are (still) similarly sent to
non-authenticated as well as GitHub on-prem calls.
For what it's worth, manual curl calls with such a header seemed to
break nor unauthenticated calls nor ones to the github.com API.
Many thanks to [kiara](https://github.com/KiaraGrouwstra) for this.
## Miscellany
- Drop support for `xz` and `bzip2` Content-Encoding [cl/2134](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/2134)
Lix no longer supports the non-standard HTTP Content-Encoding values `xz` and `bzip2`.
We do not expect this to cause any problems in practice since these encodings *aren't*
standard, and any server delivering them anyway without being asked to is already well
and truly set on the path of causing inexplicable client breakages.
Lix's ability to decompress files compressed with `xz` or `bzip2` is unaffected. We're
only bringing Lix more in line with the HTTP standard; all post-transfer data handling
remains as it was before.
Many thanks to [eldritch horrors](https://git.lix.systems/pennae) for this.
