| xored | hello guys, i just saw there's a new release, does anyone have a tldr on what's new? (i have never known where to find a changelog-style thing) | 23:48:54 |
| zoë (she/her) | it's in doc/manual/src/release-notes in the repo, in this case the rl-2.95.md one | 23:50:41 |
| xored | thank you! I wish it was on the readme | 23:51:19 |
| xored | FYI https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/src/branch/main/doc/manual/src/release-notes/@docroot@/advanced-topics/distributed-builds.md is linked from the release notes, it's a 404 | 23:54:28 |
| xored | it might be rendering on forgejo nvm | 23:54:46 |
| xored | * it might because i'm viewing it on forgejo nvm | 23:55:01 |

| xored | hmm i'm not getting 2.95 even though it compiled is there something wrong here?
nix.package = pkgs.lixPackageSets.latest.lix;
| 00:05:35 |
| zoë (she/her) | it's not released yet | 00:06:22 |
| zoë (she/her) | at least i don't think so | 00:06:30 |
| zoë (she/her) | (i'm not a team member) | 00:06:42 |
| xored | i definitely saw it compiling though, I need to revisit my nix config for real | 00:07:06 |
| zoë (she/her) | anyway, according to the zulip 2.95 topic, this release seems a bit cursed this far, i'd recommend you wait for it to officially get announced and released | 00:15:23 |

 neindochoh! / Seti (they/them) | there's also a rendered doc page here: https://docs.lix.systems/manual/lix/2.95/release-notes/rl-2.95.html
(it's not in the stable docs yet though, I guess that'll happen once the release has been announced in matrix and on Lix's blog)

 Psentee | While we're talking about new versions, what's the deal with 2.94.1? It's been tagged but release notes are empty | 12:43:35 |

 emily | ''\ is deprecated? that's quite painful considering I believe it's the only way to write some strings... | 13:26:53 |
 piegames | In reply to @emilazy:matrix.org
''\ is deprecated? that's quite painful considering I believe it's the only way to write some strings... No it's not, just certain ill-defined escape sequences | 13:36:17 |
| emily | right, I mean you need that behaviour to write certain ''...'' strings unless I'm misunderstanding you | 13:41:05 |
| emily | IIRC a literal ''${ or something is quite hard otherwise. forget if that's the case I ran into where it's necessary | 13:41:42 |
| piegames | nix-repl> ''''${''
"\${"
still works
| 14:03:28 |
| piegames | if you have any examples that can't be written because of the deprecation, lmk. | 14:04:33 |
| emily | that's not ''${ :) | 14:05:35 |
| piegames | ugh, sorry | 14:05:48 |
| emily | I'll see if I can double check an example when I'm back at a keyboard though. | 14:06:11 |
| piegames | I mean to type
nix-repl> '''''''${''
"''\${"
of course :)
