 |

<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.
 | 
			
		||||
