* Improvements to profiles. Generations are now per-profile, e.g.,

Browse source 
default -> default-94-link
  default-82-link -> /nix/store/cc4480...
  default-83-link -> /nix/store/caeec8...
  ...
  default-94-link -> /nix/store/2896ca...
  experimental -> experimental-2-link
  experimental-1-link -> /nix/store/cc4480...
  experimental-2-link -> /nix/store/a3148f...

* `--profile' / `-p' -> `--switch-profile' / `-S'
* `--link' / `-l' -> `--profile' / `-p'
* The default profile is stored in $prefix/var/nix/profiles.
  $prefix/var/nix/links is gone.  Profiles can be stored anywhere.
* The current profile is now referenced from ~/.nix-profile, not
  ~/.nix-userenv.
* The roots to the garbage collector now have extension `.gcroot', not
  `.id'.

To use Nix, some environment variables should be set. In
particular, <envar>PATH</envar> should contain the directories
<filename><replaceable>prefix</replaceable>/bin</filename> and
<filename>~/.nix-userenv/bin</filename>. The first directory
<filename>~/.nix-profile/bin</filename>. The first directory
contains the Nix tools themselves, while
<filename>~/.nix-userenv</filename> is a symbolic link to the
<filename>~/.nix-profile</filename> is a symbolic link to the
current <emphasis>user environment</emphasis> (an automatically
generated package consisting of symlinks to installed packages).
The simplest way to set the required environment variables is to
