@ -7,6 +7,27 @@ changed, so you can still build from source. Also, existing user
|
|||
environments continue to work. Nix 0.8 will automatically upgrade the
|

database schema of previous installations when it is first run.

If you get the error message
|
||||
|

please delete it
|

|
||||
you should delete previously downloaded manifests:
|
||||
|
||||
$ rm /nix/var/nix/manifests/*
|
||||
|
||||
If `nix-channel' gives the error message
|
||||

|
||||
is too old (i.e., for Nix <= 0.7)
|
||||
|
||||
then you should unsubscribe from the offending channel (`nix-channel
|
||||
--remove URL'; leave out `/MANIFEST'), and subscribe to the same URL,
|
||||
with `channels' replaced by `channels-v3' (e.g.,
|
||||
http://catamaran.labs.cs.uu.nl/dist/nix/channels-v3/nixpkgs-unstable).
|
||||
|
||||
Nix 0.8 has the following improvements:
|
||||
|
||||
* The cryptographic hashes used in store paths are now 160 bits long,
|
||||
but encoded in base-32 so that they are still only 32 characters
|
||||
long (e.g., /nix/store/csw87wag8bqlqk7ipllbwypb14xainap-atk-1.9.0).
