These are updates to several links in the documentation that are not currently pointing to existing anchors in the documentation, these were found using the unfinished version of the mdbook-linkchecker we are working on. Fixes include pointing them to the correct anchor, inserting anchors (in updated html5 style, though debatable) and in the case of the historical release notes, removing them, fixing #809.

Release 2.18 (2023-09-20)
-
Two new builtin functions,
builtins.parseFlakeRefandbuiltins.flakeRefToString, have been added. These functions are useful for converting between flake references encoded as attribute sets and URLs. -
builtins.toJSONnow prints --show-trace items for the path in which it finds an evaluation error. -
Error messages regarding malformed input to
nix derivation addare now clearer and more detailed. -
The
discard-referencesfeature has been stabilized. This means that theunsafeDiscardReferencesattribute is no longer guarded by an experimental flag and can be used freely. -
The JSON output for derived paths which are store paths is now a string, not an object with a single
pathfield. This only affectsnix-build --jsonwhen "building" non-derivation things like fetched sources, which is a no-op. -
A new builtin
outputOfhas been added. It is part of thedynamic-derivationsexperimental feature. -
Flake follow paths at depths greater than 2 are now handled correctly, preventing "follows a non-existent input" errors.
-
nix-store --querygained a new type of query:--valid-derivers. It returns all.drvfiles in the local store that can be used to build the output passed in argument. This is in contrast to--deriver, which returns the single.drvfile that was actually used to build the output passed in argument. In case the output was substituted from a binary cache, this.drvfile may only exist on said binary cache and not locally.
