114 *** New command-line syntax for separating package names and version numbers
116 Use ‘@’ instead of ‘-’ as a separator, as in ‘gnupg@2.0’. This new separator
117 is a reserved character which is not allowed both in package names and version
120 The old syntax to specify a package’s version—e.g., as “gnupg-2.0”—is obsolete
121 and support for it will be removed in the future.
123 *** “Grafts” apply recursively, based on run-time dependencies
125 “Grafts” is the mechanism by which we can apply security updates of core
126 packages without rebuilding or re-downloading the entire set of dependent
127 packages. See “Security Updates” in the manual, as well as

139 *** ‘guix package’ can be passed several ‘--search’ options
140 *** New ‘--rounds’ and ‘--check’ for ‘guix build’, for bit-reproducibility
141 *** New ‘--rounds’ option for ‘guix-daemon’
142 *** New ‘--quiet’ option for ‘guix build’
143 *** ‘guix package -u’ no longer checks for upstream GNU releases

923 ** Programming interfaces
925 *** New “package Reference” and “origin Reference” sections in the manual
926 *** New ‘emacs-build-system’, which mimics what package.el does
927 *** New (guix cpio) module, used to produce Linux initrds deterministically
928 *** New ‘clone’, ‘setns’, and ‘pivot_root’ bindings in (guix build syscalls)
929 *** New ‘dependencies’ field in <file-system>
930 *** New #:gem-flags parameter for ‘ruby-build-system’
932 *** monads: ‘foldm’, ‘mapm’, and ‘anym’ now take a list of regular values
933 *** monads: Allow n-ary ‘>>=’ expressions
934 ** Noteworthy bug fixes
936 *** Binary installation tarball now has files root-owned, with zeroed mtime
937 (<http://bugs.gnu.org/21101>)
938 *** GRUB background image is always available (<http://bugs.gnu.org/20591>)
939 *** ‘guix system’ catches references to non-existent user groups
940 (<http://bugs.gnu.org/20646>)
941 *** Ignore trailing components for ‘guix gc -d’ (<http://bugs.gnu.org/19757>)
942 *** ‘guix lint’ warns only when all the URIs are unreachable
943 *** ‘guix system init’ overwrites the items in the target store
944 (<http://bugs.gnu.org/20722>)
945 *** ‘guix-register’ performs deduplication even when --prefix is passed
946 (<http://bugs.gnu.org/19044>)
947 *** The ‘location’ of packages is no longer preserved by ‘inherit’
948 *** GuixSD installation image has udev rules for device-mapper
949 (<http://bugs.gnu.org/20791>)
950 *** Daemon distinguishes between “substitutable” and “offloadable” derivations
951 (<http://bugs.gnu.org/18747>)
952 *** Avoid infinite loop in ‘guix substitute’
953 *** ‘guix environment’ now returns the exit code of its command
954 *** ‘file-system’ declarations can now really use UUIDs
955 (<http://bugs.gnu.org/19778>)
956 *** Daemon preserves build user groups (<http://bugs.gnu.org/18994>)
957 *** Fix quadratic behavior when building packages with many propagated inputs
958 *** Tarballs for origins with patches/snippet are now build deterministically
959 *** Scalability issues in ‘guix publish’ have been fixed
961 ** Native language support
963 *** Updated translations: da, eo
965 * Changes in 0.8.2 (since 0.8.1)
967 ** Package management
969 *** New “binary tarball” installation method is available
971 See “Binary Installation” in the manual.
973 *** New ‘guix publish’ command, to publish one’s store
975 See “Invoking guix publish” in the manual.
977 *** ‘guix package’ runs “profile creation hooks” as needed
979 It creates X.509 certificate bundles in the profile’s etc/ssl directory, if
980 needed, generates a package database cache for GHC if the profile includes GHC
981 (the Haskell compiler), and generates an Info ‘dir’ file (this part was
982 already done before.)
984 *** ‘guix package’ creates an ‘etc/profile’ file in the profile
986 See “Invoking guix package” in the manual.
988 *** Commands understand version prefixes, such as ‘gcc-5’ for ‘gcc-5.1.0’
990 *** ‘guix package --search’ now sorts packages by name and version
992 *** Substitute information is now fetched using HTTP pipelining
994 Before that the “substituter” used threads. Using HTTP pipelining means that
995 resource consumption is reduced on both the client and server sides. As a
996 side effect, a progress report is displayed as substitute info is downloaded.
998 *** ‘guix package’ warns when a $GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH module cannot be loaded
1000 *** New ‘--sources’ option to ‘guix build’
1002 *** New Bash completion file, installed in $sysconfdir/bash_completion.d
1004 *** New ‘guix import hackage’ command
1006 See “Invoking guix import” in the manual.
1008 *** ‘guix lint’ supports FTP for the ‘source’ and ‘home-page’ checkers
1010 *** ‘guix lint’ has a new ‘derivation’ checker
1012 *** ‘guix import cpan’ better handles dependencies and licenses
1014 *** Packages are now build in an environment with a UTF-8 locale
1018 *** C library's name service switch (NSS) is now fully configurable
1020 See “Name Service Switch” in the manual.
1022 *** New services: wicd, lirc, colord, upower, console-keymap, postgresql
1024 *** Xorg service supports new drivers, such as Nouveau
1026 *** lsh service has new options, initializes its seed by default
1028 *** /etc/ssl symlink is created, for X.509 certificates
1030 See “X.509 Certificates” in the manual.
1032 *** ‘guix system’ reports duplicate service identifiers
1034 *** New /etc/bashrc file that loads Bash completion when available
1036 *** SLiM service uses sessions from /run/current-system/profile/share/xsessions
1038 See “X Window” in the manual.
1040 *** The Linux “YAMA” restricting policy on PTRACE_ATTACH is now disabled
1042 *** /etc/shells now lists all the user accounts’ shells
1044 *** /gnu/store is now remounted read-only, to avoid accidental modification
1046 *** /etc/profile is sources each profile’s ‘etc/profile’ file
1048 *** 718 new packages

1270 ** Programming interfaces
1272 *** New (guix build gremlin) to parse and validate ELF dynamic link info
1274 *** (guix build-system gnu) has a new ‘validate-runpath’ phase
1276 This phase reads the dynamic entries of ELF files and reports libraries listed
1277 as NEEDED that are not found in the RUNPATH.
1279 *** New (gnu services desktop) module and ‘%desktop-services’ variable
1281 *** New (guix cvs-download) module, for CVS checkouts
1283 *** New (guix build-system waf) module, for the Waf build system
1285 *** New (guix build-system haskell) module, to build Haskell packages
1287 *** (guix build-system gnu) now supports zip archives
1289 *** New convenience syntax ‘modify-phases’ added in (guix build utils)
1291 *** The ‘ld’ wrapper more finely determines whether to use ‘-rpath’
1293 *** (guix gexp) exports ‘gexp-input’ to describe input unambiguously
1295 *** The ‘define-gexp-compiler’ form allows (guix gexp) to be extended
1297 *** New ‘local-file’ constructor exported by (guix gexp)
1299 ** Noteworthy bug fixes
1301 *** Profiles created with ‘guix package -p’ as indirect GC roots
1303 Before that they were made permanent GC roots–i.e., uncollectable.
1305 *** ‘guix package’ distinguishes downgrades from upgrades
1307 *** Handle HTTP redirects to relative URI references
1308 (<http://bugs.gnu.org/19840>)
1310 *** Downloads now honor the ‘http_proxy’ environment variable
1311 (<http://bugs.gnu.org/20402>)
1313 *** ‘--no-*’ options are now always correctly handled
1314 (<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2015-02/msg00702.html>)
1316 *** SLiM no longer leaks open file descriptors
1318 *** Don't compare <pam-service> objects with 'equal?'
1319 (<http://bugs.gnu.org/20037>)
1321 *** x86_64 and i686 bootstrap binaries updated (<http://bugs.gnu.org/19780>)
1323 *** ‘find-files’ no longer follows symlinks (<http://bugs.gnu.org/20081>)
1325 *** libc message catalog (‘libc.mo’) is now installed
1327 *** libstdc++ has appropriate RUNPATH (<http://bugs.gnu.org/20358>)
1329 *** ‘dhcp-client-service’ now correctly tracks dhclient’s PID
1331 ** Native language support
1333 *** New translations: da (Danish)
1335 *** Updated translations: eo
1337 * Changes in 0.8.1 (since 0.8)
1339 ** Package management
1341 *** New ‘--share’ and ‘--expose’ options for ‘guix system vm’
1343 See “Invoking guix system” in the manual.
1345 *** Emacs mode now automatically loads newly installed Emacs packages
1347 See “Emacs Initial Setup” in the manual.
1349 *** ‘guix-daemon’ now defaults to ‘--cores=0 --jobs=1’
1351 In other words, at any given time, only one derivation is being built or
1352 substituted, and it can use as many cores as available. Before, there could
1353 be N derivations using N cores, which was obviously not desirable.
1355 *** Command-line tools support the ‘GUIX_BUILD_OPTIONS’ environment variable
1357 See “Invoking guix build” in the manual.
1359 *** ‘guix environment’ is faster
1361 *** New ‘--recursive’ option for ‘guix archive’
1363 See “Invoking guix archive” in the manual.
1365 *** Missing patches required by a package definition are gracefully reported
1367 *** ‘guix lint’ supports additional checkers
1369 The new checkers are ‘gnu-description’, ‘home-page’, and ‘source’.
1370 See “Invoking guix lint” in the manual.
1372 *** New CPAN importer for ‘guix import’
1374 See “Invoking guix import” in the manual.
1378 *** USB installation image has more tools
1380 Tools added since 0.8: wpa_supplicant, cryptsetup, and iw.
1382 *** Linux kernel module dependencies are automatically handled
1384 Before that, all the modules needed in the initrd would need to be explicitly
1385 listed, including their dependencies, and in topological order.
1387 *** Font packages now all have a name starting with ‘font-’
1389 See “Fonts” in the manual.
1391 *** Shell startup files have been cleaned up
1393 /etc/profile contains only environment variable definitions, which may also be
1394 used when running a different shell. The skeletons for user’s ‘.bash_profile’
1395 and ‘.bashrc’ files behave as documented in the Bash manual. Zsh is supported.
1397 *** The ‘root’ account gets a copy of the account skeleton files
1399 Before that, the skeleton files would only be copied to non-root accounts.
1401 *** The name service cache daemon (nscd) is configurable
1403 By default it aggressively caches host and service lookups. See “Base
1404 Services” in the manual.
1406 *** Available locale definitions are now declared in ‘operating-system’
1408 Before, the ‘glibc’ package would contain all the existing locales, as well as
1409 the ‘locale-archive’ file, amounting to 110 MiB. See “Locales” in the manual.
1411 *** SLiM sessions are configurable
1413 Pressing F1 in the SLiM graphical log-in screen allows users to choose among
1414 the pre-configured session types. See “X Window” in the manual.
1416 *** Man pages and Info files are systematically gzip-compressed
1418 *** ‘gnu-build-system’ ensures that documentation is in share/{man,info}
1420 If a package installs to $prefix/{man,info}, this is automatically fixed to be
1421 $prefix/share/{man,info}.
1423 *** ‘strip’ is invoked only on ELF files and ‘ar’ archives
1425 *** ‘libtool’ and ‘libltdl’ are now separate packages
1427 *** Emacs mode is readily usable on the Guix System Distribution
1429 *** Substitutes are now enabled by default on freshly installed systems
1430 *** 164 new packages

1520 ** Programming interfaces
1522 *** New (guix elf) and (gnu build linux-modules) modules
1524 These provide resolution of Linux kernel module dependencies. See
1525 <https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2014-11/msg00670.html>.
1527 *** ‘glib-or-gtk-build-system’ has been extended
1529 It now handles GIO and XDG themes, takes care of generating the icon cache,
1530 and has a new #:glib-or-gtk-wrap-excluded-outputs parameter.
1532 *** ‘search-path-specification’ can now specify non-directory items
1534 For example, the ‘search-path-specification’ attached to libxml2 specifies a
1535 file pattern, which allows all the ‘catalog.xml’ files to be added to the
1536 ‘XML_CATALOG_FILES’ environment variable.
1538 *** (guix build syscalls) has more network-related procedures
1540 ‘set-network-interface-flags’, ‘set-network-interface-address’,
1541 ‘network-interface-address’, and ‘configure-network-interface’ are ioctl
1542 bindings used by network-handling dmd services.
1544 *** (guix monads) refactoring
1546 ‘%store-monad’ is now in (guix store) and is an alias for the new
1547 ‘%state-monad’ provided by (guix monads). Monadic procedures dealing with the
1548 store, with derivations, and with packages have been moved from (guix monads)
1549 to (guix store), (guix derivations), and (guix packages). See “The Store
1550 Monad” in the manual.
1552 *** (guix build utils) provides ‘parallel-job-count’
1554 *** ‘wrap-program’ preserves the original argv[0]
1556 *** New (guix sets) module
1558 *** ‘define-record-type*’ now support “delayed” fields
1560 ** Noteworthy bug fixes
1562 *** X session is executed from a login shell (<http://bugs.gnu.org/19119>)
1563 *** grub.cfg is now a garbage-collector root (<http://bugs.gnu.org/19160>)
1564 *** Substituter progress report properly formatted
1565 (<http://bugs.gnu.org/19313>)
1566 *** Document permissions for /gnu/store (<http://bugs.gnu.org/19316>)
1567 *** Make sure config.go is newer than config.scm
1568 (<http://bugs.gnu.org/19317>)
1569 *** Emacs knows where to find its GLib schemas (<http://bugs.gnu.org/19138>)
1570 *** Adjust 'grub.cfg' to work on systems with a separate /boot
1571 (<http://bugs.gnu.org/19220>)
1572 *** Fix removal of next-to-last item in a profile
1573 (<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2014-12/msg00292.html>)
1574 *** Apply patches with "patch --force" (<http://bugs.gnu.org/19402>)
1575 *** Extend ‘search-path-specification’ for libxml2-style use cases
1576 (<http://bugs.gnu.org/18033>)
1577 *** Search for patches under $GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH (<http://bugs.gnu.org/19364>)
1578 *** Use executables from the target inputs in 'patch-shebangs'
1579 (<http://bugs.gnu.org/18895>)
1580 *** guix-daemon now automatically creates '…/profiles/per-user'
1581 (<http://bugs.gnu.org/19315>)
1582 *** Make /etc/mtab a symlink to /proc/self/mounts
1583 (<http://bugs.gnu.org/19491>)
1584 *** Don't build the mips64el-linux-gnuabi64 cross-compiler on i686
1585 (<http://bugs.gnu.org/19598>)
1586 *** Read archive signatures as Latin-1 strings (<http://bugs.gnu.org/19610>)
1587 *** Raise an error for references to non-existent outputs
1588 (<http://bugs.gnu.org/19630>)
1589 *** Initialize libgcrypt before use (<http://bugs.gnu.org/19677>)
1591 ** Native language support
1593 *** New translations: fr (French), hu (Hungarian)
1594 *** Updated translation: eo, vi
1596 * Changes in 0.8 (since 0.7)
1598 ** Package management
1600 *** New visual user interface in Emacs
1602 See “Emacs Interface” in the manual.
1604 *** New ‘guix environment’ command to produce development environment
1606 See “Invoking guix environment” in the manual.
1608 *** The ‘guix import’ command has been extended and documented
1610 It can now import packages from pypi.python.org and from GNU.
1611 See “Invoking guix import” in the manual.
1613 *** New ‘guix lint’ command, for use by Guix developers
1615 See “Invoking guix lint” in the manual.
1617 *** Packages can now be “grafted” with replacements of their dependencies
1619 See “Security Updates” in the manual.
1621 *** The distribution can be extended with ‘--load-path’ or $GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH
1623 This allows users to maintain their own package definitions, and make them
1624 visible to the various user interfaces. See “Package Modules” in the manual.
1626 *** ‘guix package’ better reports package upgrades
1628 *** ‘guix package’ has a new ‘--switch-generation’ option
1630 See “Invoking guix package” in the manual.
1632 *** ‘guix-daemon’ has a new ‘--substitute-urls’ option
1634 See “Invoking guix-daemon” in the manual.
1638 *** The stand-alone operating system now supports Linux mapped devices
1640 See “Mapped Devices” in the manual.
1642 *** New fields in ‘operating-system’ declarations, better documentation
1644 New fields include ‘hosts-file’, ‘mapped-devices’, and ‘swap-devices’.
1645 See “operating-system Reference” in the manual.
1647 *** New services: ‘dhcp-client-service’, ‘bitlbee-service’, ‘ntp-service’
1649 See “Services” in the manual.
1651 *** Free firmware can be loaded
1653 This notably enables support for some Atheros-based WiFi devices (ath9k-htc.)
1654 See “operating-system Reference” in the manual.
1656 *** ‘grub-configuration’ declarations can now specify a theme
1658 See “GRUB Configuration” in the manual.
1660 *** The ‘base-initrd’ now has a different signature
1662 Existing uses in ‘operating-system’ declarations need to be updated. See
1663 “Initial RAM Disk” in the manual for details.
1665 *** eudev is now used by default, instead of an old udev release
1667 *** ‘guix system vm’ has a new ‘--full-boot’ option
1669 See “Invoking guix system” in the manual.
1671 *** The ‘file’ command is now part of the package build environment
1673 Autoconf-generated ‘configure’ scripts for packages using Libtool use ‘file’
1674 to determine the target ABI, notably on MIPS, hence this change.

1738 ** Programming interfaces
1740 *** New ‘ruby-build-system’, for Ruby packages
1742 See “Build Systems” in the manual.
1744 *** New ‘glib-or-gtk-build-system’, for packages using GLib schemas
1746 See “Build Systems” in the manual.
1748 *** ‘gnu-build-system’ has a new #:substitutable? parameter
1750 This allows packagers to mark a package as requiring a local build, thus
1751 preventing it from being substituted by a pre-built binary.
1753 *** ‘cmake-build-system’ has a new #:build-type parameter
1755 See “Build Systems” in the manual.
1757 *** The ‘supported-systems’ field of packages is used more consistently
1759 This allows packagers to prevent attempts to build a package on a given
1760 architecture when that architecture is known not to be supported. The
1761 ‘package-transitive-supported-systems’ procedure returns the intersection of
1762 the systems supported by the given package and by its dependencies.
1764 *** The ‘wrap-program’ procedure can now be called multiple times
1766 *** New ‘graft-derivations’ and ‘package-grafts’ procedures
1768 They implement “grafts”, as described under “Security Updates” in the manual.
1770 *** New “bag” intermediate representation for use by build systems
1772 “Bags” are used internally as an intermediate representation between packages
1773 and derivations. See “Build Systems” in the manual.
1775 *** New (guix monad-repl) module, for monadic interaction at the REPL
1777 See “The Store Monad” in the manual.
1779 *** New (guix build emacs-utils) module, to facilitate building Emacs packages
1781 *** New (guix tests) module, with tools used by the test suite
1783 *** The internal ‘guix-register’ command now deduplicates files in store items
1785 *** Several system modules moved from (guix build …) to (gnu build …)
1787 Also, the (gnu build linux-boot) module has been introduced, with code
1788 typically used by initial RAM disks when booting on GNU/Linux-libre.
1790 *** (guix profiles) provides a representation of package transactions
1792 This factorizes code between ‘guix package’ and the Emacs user interface.
1794 *** Bootstrapping packages moved to (gnu packages commencement) modules
1798 *** ‘guix-daemon’ now really deduplicates store items by default
1800 Deduplication means that identical files found in /gnu/store are stored only
1801 once, using hard links. This feature was wrongfully disabled, and is now
1802 enabled by default. The former ‘--disable-store-optimization’ option has been
1803 renamed to ‘--disable-deduplication’.
1805 *** ‘guix-daemon’ no longer uses ‘vfork’
1807 This could cause problems with ancient Linux kernel.
1809 *** Fixed compilation of ‘gccgo’ (<http://bugs.gnu.org/18101>)
1810 *** 'make clean' doesn't delete os-config.tmpl (<http://bugs.gnu.org/18243>)
1811 *** Fix handling of periods by fill-paragraph (<http://bugs.gnu.org/17468>)
1812 *** Produce a top-level Info 'dir' file (<http://bugs.gnu.org/18305>)
1813 *** guix offload ignores unreachable machines (<http://bugs.gnu.org/18070>)
1814 *** guix offload: Ignore EEXIST when registering a .drv as a GC root
1815 (<http://bugs.gnu.org/18115>)
1816 *** perl-tk: Build sequentially (<http://bugs.gnu.org/18262>)
1817 *** download: Use the 'SERVER NAME' TLS extension when possible
1818 (<http://bugs.gnu.org/18526>)
1819 *** libdaemon: Add alternate source URLs (<http://bugs.gnu.org/18639>)
1820 *** icu4c: Reinstate RUNPATH on shared libraries
1821 (<http://bugs.gnu.org/18695>)
1822 *** nss-mdns: Add alternate source URLs (<http://bugs.gnu.org/18704>)
1823 *** download: Add "Accept: */*" to the HTTP headers
1824 (<http://bugs.gnu.org/18768>)
1825 *** guix-register: Do not attempt to create NIX_STORE_DIR
1826 (<http://bugs.gnu.org/18689>)
1827 *** Allow Linux-libre to find our 'modprobe' command
1828 (<http://bugs.gnu.org/18525>)
1829 *** man-pages: Build sequentially (<http://bugs.gnu.org/18701>)
1830 *** Fix intermittent test failures involving GC (<http://bugs.gnu.org/18935>)
1831 *** guix import: pypi: Gracefully handle non-existent packages
1832 (<http://bugs.gnu.org/18831>)
1833 *** Make sure the shared library has the '.so' extension
1834 (<http://bugs.gnu.org/18521>)
1835 *** pull: Use the build procedure provided by the newly-downloaded Guix.
1836 (<http://bugs.gnu.org/18534>)
1837 *** WindowMaker no longer pollutes $PATH (<http://bugs.gnu.org/18698>)
1839 ** Native language support
1840 *** New translation: cs (Czech)
1841 *** Updated translations: de, sr, vi
1843 * Changes in 0.7 (since 0.6)
1844 ** Package management
1845 *** Binaries for mips64el-linux now available from hydra.gnu.org
1847 These come in addition to the x86_64-linux and i686-linux binaries already
1848 provided, thanks to our generous donor and friendly admins. See
1849 “Substitutes” in the manual.
1851 *** ‘guix package’ has a new ‘--show’ option
1852 *** ‘guix refresh’ has a new ‘--list-dependent’ option
1854 ** Programming interfaces
1855 *** New (guix gexp) module, which implements “G-expressions”
1857 G-expressions are a new mechanism to embed build-side code in host-side
1858 code. See “G-Expressions” in the manual.
1860 *** (gnu system) and related modules now use G-expressions
1862 This greatly simplifies code, and guarantees that build code carries
1863 references to the packages or derivations it uses.
1865 *** ‘build-expression->derivation’ is deprecated in favor of G-expressions
1866 *** The (gnu system) module has been largely augmented and factorized
1867 *** New (guix build vm) module, support for virtual machine images
1868 *** New (guix build activation) module, for “system activation”
1869 *** New (guix build syscalls) module
1870 *** New (guix build install) and module for whole system installation
1871 *** New (gnu system install) module, for the installation system
1872 *** New (gnu system file-systems) module, for ‘file-system’ declarations
1873 *** New (gnu) module, which aggregates common (gnu …) modules
1874 *** ‘service’ records now have an optional ‘activate’ field
1876 This allows services to specify code to run at system activation time.
1879 *** An image to install the GNU system from a USB stick is provided

2043 ** Package management
2044 *** GNU package descriptions synchronized with the ‘gnumaint’ repository
2046 In addition to synopses, descriptions of GNU packages are now kept in sync
2047 with the ‘gnumaint’ repository, which is the canonical place for GNU package
2050 ** Programming interfaces
2051 *** Patches are now listed as part of ‘origin’
2053 The ‘origin’ form supports two new fields: ‘patches’ (list of patches), and
2054 ‘snippet’ (code snippet to modify the source.) These are applied when running
2055 ‘guix build --source’. See “Defining Packages” in the manual.
2057 *** New (guix monads) monadic interface to operate on the store
2059 See “The Store Monad” in the manual. The (gnu system …) modules have been
2060 rewritten to use this monadic interface.
2062 *** New (guix profiles) module
2064 It provides an API for dealing with profiles, as with the ‘guix package’
2067 *** New (gnu system) module
2069 This module provides a generic way to describe the system’s configuration,
2070 and to instantiate it, regardless of the final medium (QEMU image, etc.)
2071 See “System Configuration” in the manual.
2073 This is work in progress. Send feedback to guix-devel@gnu.org!
2075 *** ‘build-expression->derivation’ uses more parameters
2077 Some positional parameters have been changed to keyword parameters.
2078 See “Derivations” in the manual.
2081 *** New port to the Loongson MIPS64 processors, n32 ABI (‘mips64el-linux’)
2083 Bootstrap binaries have been built for that architecture, and several
2084 Loongson-specific patches not yet available upstream have been applied to core
2085 packages. See “GNU Distribution” and “Porting” in the manual.
2087 Pre-built binaries are not yet available via hydra.gnu.org, so Guix will
2088 build from source on this platform.

2126 ** Native language support
2127 *** New ‘sr’ (Serbian) translation
2128 *** New ‘vi’ (Vietnamese) translation
2129 *** Updated ‘pt_BR’ (Brazilian Portuguese) translation
2131 *** ‘guix pull’ compiles Guix deterministically and correctly
2133 Previously, the build environment was not cleared in between ‘compile-file’
2134 calls, leading to build errors due to Guile bug http://bugs.gnu.org/15602 .
2136 *** ‘guix package’ allows removal of a specific package output
2137 (http://bugs.gnu.org/15756)
2138 *** ‘guix-daemon’ always sets umask to 022
2139 (http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-guix/2013-07/msg00033.html)
2140 *** Files referenced by environment variables are protected from GC
2141 *** Yet unbuilt packages get correctly installed (http://bugs.gnu.org/15283)
2142 *** ‘bootstrap-graph.{png,eps,pdf}’ built in srcdir (http://bugs.gnu.org/15640)
2144 * Changes in 0.4 (since 0.3)
2146 ** Package management
2148 *** New ‘--list-generations’ and ‘--delete-generations’ options
2150 The ‘guix package’ command has these two new options, which make it easier to
2151 deal with a profile’s generation. See “Invoking guix package” in the manual.
2153 *** New ‘guix-register’ program
2155 This program allows the meta-data of a new store to be initialized, by
2156 copying info from an existing store. It is mostly an internal tool.
2158 ** Programming interfaces
2160 *** New API to bootstrap Autotools-based packages
2162 The (guix build-system gnu) has a new ‘dist-package’ procedure that takes a
2163 package object and source directory, and returns a new package object that
2164 runs ‘./bootstrap && make dist’ or anything similar.
2166 *** ‘derivation’ and related procedures have a #:references-graphs parameter
2168 This parameter instructs the build daemon to populate the derivation’s build
2169 tree with files containing the list of references of the given store files.
2170 This is useful to write code that copies a packages and all its dependencies
2171 to another storage device, such as a QEMU disk image.
2173 *** Extended API to build a GNU system virtual machine image
2175 The (gnu system vm) module has been augmented in many ways: the ‘qemu-image’
2176 procedure can now populate and initialize the image’s store; the new
2177 ‘system-qemu-image’ procedure returns a QEMU image that runs dmd as its init
2178 system, has ‘login’ running on several consoles, has a set of installed
2179 packages, and where Guix can be used.
2181 New (gnu system …) modules have been added to handle the configuration of the
2182 various parts of a GNU/Linux system. For instance, (gnu system dmd) provides
2183 support for instantiating dmd services; (gnu system linux) helps with Linux
2184 PAM configuration; and so on.
2186 *** <derivation> objects supersede .drv file names in the API
2188 ‘derivation’ and similar procedures no longer return two values (a
2189 <derivation> and a .drv file name); they now return a single value, which is
2190 a <derivation> object. The <derivation> object embeds the corresponding .drv
2191 file name. See “Derivations” in the manual for details.

2219 Fontconfig, the library used by many graphical applications, such as those
2220 based on GTK+, now knows where to find the default set of fonts. Additional
2221 fonts installed in the user profile are automatically picked up.
2223 *** More GUI applications
2225 The ‘emacs’ and ‘racket’ packages are now linked against GTK+. New GTK+
2226 applications have been added (see above.)
2228 *** Packaging guidelines
2230 The documentation of packaging guidelines has been augmented. See the manual
2231 under “GNU Distribution”.
2233 *** Support for Python 3 along with Python 2
2235 Python 3 has been added to the distribution, and Python packages that support
2236 it are now built for both Python 2 and Python 3. See the “Python Modules”
2237 section of the manual for details.
2239 ** Internationalization
2241 Updated translations: eo.
2245 *** Workarounds for Guile 2.0.5 now work on Debian derivatives

2247 *** 'ldd' now works correctly on x86_64
2248 *** Xorg server test suite no longer fails (http://bugs.gnu.org/15392)
2249 *** module-init-tools now builds (http://bugs.gnu.org/15182, http://bugs.gnu.org/15187)
2250 *** Hop 2.4 builds with newer Bigloo (http://bugs.gnu.org/15194)
2252 * Changes in 0.3 (since 0.2)
2254 ** Package management
2256 *** Cross-compilation support
2258 Guix can now cross-build packages. On the command-line, this is achieved with
2259 the new ‘--target’ command-line option of ‘guix build’. At the Scheme level,
2260 the guts of this is the ‘package-cross-derivation’ procedure. Core packages
2261 of the distribution can already be cross-compiled. See the manual for
2264 *** New ‘--max-silent-time’ option for “guix build” and “guix package”
2266 See the manual for details.
2268 *** New ‘--fallback’ option for “guix build” and “guix package”
2270 This option instructs to fall back to local builds when the substituter fails
2271 to download a substitute.
2273 *** New ‘--requisites’ option for “guix gc”
2275 See the manual for details.
2277 *** New ‘--key-download’ option for “guix refresh”
2279 See the manual for details.
2281 ** Programming interfaces
2283 *** New ‘package-cross-derivation’ procedure in (guix derivations)
2285 See the manual for details.
2287 *** New ‘%current-target-system’ SRFI-39 parameter
2289 This parameter is like ‘%current-system’, but for cross-compilation. It
2290 allows code in package definitions (such as in the ‘arguments’ field) to know
2291 whether it is being cross-compiled, and what the target system is.
2293 *** New (guix hash) module; new ‘open-sha256-port’ and ‘sha256-port’ procedures
2295 This improves performance of SHA256 computations.

2315 *** Binary packages now available for i686-linux
2317 The build farm at http://hydra.gnu.org now provides 32-bit GNU/Linux binaries
2318 (i686-linux), in addition to the x86_64-linux binaries. Both can be
2319 transparently used as substitutes for local builds on these platforms.
2321 *** Debug info packages
2323 Some packages now have a “debug” output containing debugging information. The
2324 “debug” output can be used by GDB, and can be installed separately from the
2325 other outputs of the package. See “Installing Debugging Files” in the manual.
2327 *** Bootstrap binaries can be cross-compiled
2329 The distribution can now be ported to new architectures (currently
2330 GNU/Linux-only) by cross-compiling the “bootstrap binaries”. See “Porting”
2333 *** Bootstrapping documented
2335 See “Bootstrapping” in the manual, for information on how the GNU
2336 distribution builds “from scratch”.
2338 ** Internationalization
2340 New translations: eo, pt_BR.
2343 *** “guix --help” now works when using Guile 2.0.5
2344 *** Binary substituter multi-threading and pipe issues fixed
2346 These could lead to random substituter crashes while substituting a binary.
2347 See commits 0332386 and 101d9f3 for details.
2349 *** Binary substituter gracefully handles lack of network connectivity
2351 *** Daemon properly handles rebuilds of multiple-output derivations
2353 Previously it would fail when rebuilding a multiple-output derivation when
2354 some (but not all) of its outputs were already present. See
2355 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-guix/2013-06/msg00038.html and
2356 https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/122 .
2358 *** ‘guix package -i foo:out’ no longer removes other outputs of ‘foo’
2360 Previously only the ‘out’ output of package ‘foo’ would be kept in the
2363 *** Replacement (srfi srfi-37) provided if the user’s one is broken
2365 When the user’s (srfi srfi-37) is affected by http://bugs.gnu.org/13176 (Guile
2366 < 2.0.9), a replacement with the bug fix is provided. This bug would affect
2367 command-line argument processing in some cases.
2369 * Changes in 0.2 (since 0.1)
2371 ** Package management
2373 *** Guix commands are now sub-commands of the “guix” program
2375 Instead of typing “guix-package”, one now has to type “guix package”, and so
2376 on. This has allowed us to homogenize the user interface and initial program
2377 setup, and to allow commands to be upgradable through “guix pull”.
2379 *** New “guix package --upgrade” option
2381 As the name implies, this option atomically upgrades all the packages
2382 installed in a profile or the set of packages matching a given regexp.
2383 See “Invoking guix package” in the manual.
2385 *** New “guix package --search” option
2387 Performs a full text search in package synopses and descriptions, and returns
2388 the matching packages in recutils format. See “Invoking guix package” in the
2389 manual, for details.
2391 *** New “guix pull” command
2393 The command pulls the latest version of Guix–both the package management
2394 modules and the distribution. See the manual for details.
2396 *** New binary substituter
2398 The “substituter” mechanism allows pre-built binaries to be transparently
2399 downloaded instead of performing a build locally. Currently binaries are
2400 available for x86_64 Linux-based GNU systems from http://hydra.gnu.org. The
2401 distribution is continuously built and binaries are made available from there.
2403 See http://hydra.gnu.org/jobset/gnu/master under “Job status” for the list of
2404 available binary packages.
2406 *** New “guix refresh” command
2408 The command is used by Guix maintainers. It automatically updates the
2409 distribution to the latest upstream releases of GNU software.
2411 *** New “guix hash” command
2413 Convenience command to compute the hash of a file. See the manual for
2416 *** Nix daemon code updated
2418 The daemon code from Nix, used by the ‘guix-daemon’ command, has been updated
2419 to current Nix ‘master’.
2421 ** Programming interfaces
2423 *** (guix download) now supports HTTPS, using GnuTLS
2425 It allows package source tarballs to be retrieved over HTTPS.
2427 *** New ‘native-search-path’ and ‘search-path’ package fields
2429 Packages can define in their ‘native-search-path’ field environment variables
2430 that define search paths and need to be set for proper functioning of the
2431 package. For instance, GCC has ‘CPATH’ and ‘LIBRARY_PATH’ in its
2432 ‘native-search-path’, Perl has ‘PERL5LIB’, Python has ‘PYTHONPATH’, etc.
2433 These environment variables are automatically set when building a package that
2436 *** Package inputs can be a function of the target system type
2438 The ‘inputs’ field of a package can now be conditional on the value of
2439 (%current-system). This is useful for packages that take system-dependent
2440 tarballs as inputs, such as GNU/MIT Scheme.
2442 *** New build systems
2444 The ‘perl-build-system’, ‘python-build-system’, and ‘cmake-build-system’ have
2445 been added. They implement the standard build systems for Perl, Python, and
2448 *** Tools to build Linux initrds, QEMU images, and more
2450 The (gnu packages linux-initrd) module provides a procedure to build a Linux
2451 initrd (“initial RAM disk”). The initrd embeds Guile, which is used to
2452 evaluate the given expression. The example below returns an initrd that
2453 mounts the /proc file system and starts a REPL:
2458 (mount "none" "/proc" "proc")
2459 ((@ (system repl repl) start-repl))))
2461 More examples in the linux-initrd.scm file.
2463 Experimental interfaces to produce and use QEMU images are provided by the
2464 (gnu system vm) module. For instance, the
2465 ‘expression->derivation-in-linux-vm’ evaluates the given Scheme expression in
2466 a QEMU virtual machine running the Linux kernel and Guile.
2470 Many updates and additions have been made to the distribution. Here are the
2475 GCC 4.7.3 (the default) and GCC 4.8.0, Binutils 2.23.2, Guile 2.0.9,
2476 Coreutils 8.20, GDB 7.6, Texinfo 5.1.
2478 *** Noteworthy new packages
2480 TeXLive, Xorg, GNU GRUB, GNU Parted, QEMU and QEMU-KVM, Avahi, Bigloo,
2481 CHICKEN, Scheme48, Hugs, Python, Lua, Samba.
