Please send Guix bug reports to bug-guix@gnu.org. * Changes in 0.9.1 (since 0.9.0) ** Package management *** New syntax for separating package names and version numbers Use ‘@’ instead of ‘-’ as a separator, as in ‘gnupg@2.0’. This new separator is a reserved character which is not allowed both in package names and version numbers. The old syntax to specify a package’s version—e.g., as “gnupg-2.0”—is obsolete and support for it will be removed in the future. *** Emacs interface for licenses *** Emacs interface for system generations *** Emacs interface for hydra.gnu.org *** Changes in Em

interfaces *** New “package Reference” and “origin Reference” sections in the manual *** New ‘emacs-build-system’, which mimics what package.el does *** New (guix cpio) module, used to produce Linux initrds deterministically *** New ‘clone’, ‘setns’, and ‘pivot_root’ bindings in (guix build syscalls) *** New ‘dependencies’ field in *** New #:gem-flags parameter for ‘ruby-build-system’ *** monads: ‘foldm’, ‘mapm’, and ‘anym’ now take a list of regular values *** monads: Allow n-ary ‘>>=’ expressions ** Noteworthy bug fixes *** Binary installation tarball now has files root-owned, with zeroed mtime () *** GRUB background image is always available () *** ‘guix system’ catches references to non-existent user groups () *** Ignore trailing components for ‘guix gc -d’ () *** ‘guix lint’ warns only when all the URIs are unreachable *** ‘guix system init’ overwrites the items in the target store () *** ‘guix-register’ performs deduplication even when --prefix is passed () *** The ‘location’ of packages is no longer preserved by ‘inherit’ *** GuixSD installation image has udev rules for device-mapper () *** Daemon distinguishes between “substitutable” and “offloadable” derivations () *** Avoid infinite loop in ‘guix substitute’ *** ‘guix environment’ now returns the exit code of its command *** ‘file-system’ declarations can now really use UUIDs () *** Daemon preserves build user groups () *** Fix quadratic behavior when building packages with many propagated inputs *** Tarballs for origins with patches/snippet are now build deterministically *** Scalability issues in ‘guix publish’ have been fixed ** Native language support *** Updated translations: da, eo * Changes in 0.8.2 (since 0.8.1) ** Package management *** New “binary tarball” installation method is available See “Binary Installation” in the manual. *** New ‘guix publish’ command, to publish one’s store See “Invoking guix publish” in the manual. *** ‘guix package’ runs “profile creation hooks” as needed It creates X.509 certificate bundles in the profile’s etc/ssl directory, if needed, generates a package database cache for GHC if the profile includes GHC (the Haskell compiler), and generates an Info ‘dir’ file (this part was already done before.) *** ‘guix package’ creates an ‘etc/profile’ file in the profile See “Invoking guix package” in the manual. *** Commands understand version prefixes, such as ‘gcc-5’ for ‘gcc-5.1.0’ *** ‘guix package --search’ now sorts packages by name and version *** Substitute information is now fetched using HTTP pipelining Before that the “substituter” used threads. Using HTTP pipelining means that resource consumption is reduced on both the client and server sides. As a side effect, a progress report is displayed as substitute info is downloaded. *** ‘guix package’ warns when a $GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH module cannot be loaded *** New ‘--sources’ option to ‘guix build’ *** New Bash completion file, installed in $sysconfdir/bash_completion.d *** New ‘guix import hackage’ command See “Invoking guix import” in the manual. *** ‘guix lint’ supports FTP for the ‘source’ and ‘home-page’ checkers *** ‘guix lint’ has a new ‘derivation’ checker *** ‘guix import cpan’ better handles dependencies and licenses *** Packages are now build in an environment with a UTF-8 locale ** Distribution *** C library's name service switch (NSS) is now fully configurable See “Name Service Switch” in the manual. *** New services: wicd, lirc, colord, upower, console-keymap, postgresql *** Xorg service supports new drivers, such as Nouveau *** lsh service has new options, initializes its seed by default *** /etc/ssl symlink is created, for X.509 certificates See “X.509 Certificates” in the manual. *** ‘guix system’ reports duplicate service identifiers *** New /etc/bashrc file that loads Bash completion when available *** SLiM service uses sessions from /run/current-system/profile/share/xsessions See “X Window” in the manual. *** The Linux “YAMA” restricting policy on PTRACE_ATTACH is now disabled *** /etc/shells now lists all the user accounts’ shells *** /gnu/store is now remounted read-only, to avoid accidental modification *** /etc/profile is sources each profile’s ‘etc/profile’ file *** 718 new packages aalib, aarddict, acpid, agg,

phase reads the dynamic entries of ELF files and reports libraries listed as NEEDED that are not found in the RUNPATH. *** New (gnu services desktop) module and ‘%desktop-services’ variable *** New (guix cvs-download) module, for CVS checkouts *** New (guix build-system waf) module, for the Waf build system *** New (guix build-system haskell) module, to build Haskell packages *** (guix build-system gnu) now supports zip archives *** New convenience syntax ‘modify-phases’ added in (guix build utils) *** The ‘ld’ wrapper more finely determines whether to use ‘-rpath’ *** (guix gexp) exports ‘gexp-input’ to describe input unambiguously *** The ‘define-gexp-compiler’ form allows (guix gexp) to be extended *** New ‘local-file’ constructor exported by (guix gexp) ** Noteworthy bug fixes *** Profiles created with ‘guix package -p’ as indirect GC roots Before that they were made permanent GC roots–i.e., uncollectable. *** ‘guix package’ distinguishes downgrades from upgrades *** Handle HTTP redirects to relative URI references () *** Downloads now honor the ‘http_proxy’ environment variable () *** ‘--no-*’ options are now always correctly handled () *** SLiM no longer leaks open file descriptors *** Don't compare objects with 'equal?' () *** x86_64 and i686 bootstrap binaries updated () *** ‘find-files’ no longer follows symlinks () *** libc message catalog (‘libc.mo’) is now installed *** libstdc++ has appropriate RUNPATH () *** ‘dhcp-client-service’ now correctly tracks dhclient’s PID ** Native language support *** New translations: da (Danish) *** Updated translations: eo * Changes in 0.8.1 (since 0.8) ** Package management *** New ‘--share’ and ‘--expose’ options for ‘guix system vm’ See “Invoking guix system” in the manual. *** Emacs mode now automatically loads newly installed Emacs packages See “Emacs Initial Setup” in the manual. *** ‘guix-daemon’ now defaults to ‘--cores=0 --jobs=1’ In other words, at any given time, only one derivation is being built or substituted, and it can use as many cores as available. Before, there could be N derivations using N cores, which was obviously not desirable. *** Command-line tools support the ‘GUIX_BUILD_OPTIONS’ environment variable See “Invoking guix build” in the manual. *** ‘guix environment’ is faster *** New ‘--recursive’ option for ‘guix archive’ See “Invoking guix archive” in the manual. *** Missing patches required by a package definition are gracefully reported *** ‘guix lint’ supports additional checkers The new checkers are ‘gnu-description’, ‘home-page’, and ‘source’. See “Invoking guix lint” in the manual. *** New CPAN importer for ‘guix import’ See “Invoking guix import” in the manual. ** Distribution *** USB installation image has more tools Tools added since 0.8: wpa_supplicant, cryptsetup, and iw. *** Linux kernel module dependencies are automatically handled Before that, all the modules needed in the initrd would need to be explicitly listed, including their dependencies, and in topological order. *** Font packages now all have a name starting with ‘font-’ See “Fonts” in the manual. *** Shell startup files have been cleaned up /etc/profile contains only environment variable definitions, which may also be used when running a different shell. The skeletons for user’s ‘.bash_profile’ and ‘.bashrc’ files behave as documented in the Bash manual. Zsh is supported. *** The ‘root’ account gets a copy of the account skeleton files Before that, the skeleton files would only be copied to non-root accounts. *** The name service cache daemon (nscd) is configurable By default it aggressively caches host and service lookups. See “Base Services” in the manual. *** Available locale definitions are now declared in ‘operating-system’ Before, the ‘glibc’ package would contain all the existing locales, as well as the ‘locale-archive’ file, amounting to 110 MiB. See “Locales” in the manual. *** SLiM sessions are configurable Pressing F1 in the SLiM graphical log-in screen allows users to choose among the pre-configured session types. See “X Window” in the manual. *** Man pages and Info files are systematically gzip-compressed *** ‘gnu-build-system’ ensures that documentation is in share/{man,info} If a package installs to $prefix/{man,info}, this is automatically fixed to be $prefix/share/{man,info}. *** ‘strip’ is invoked only on ELF files and ‘ar’ archives *** ‘libtool’ and ‘libltdl’ are now separate packages *** Emacs mode is readily usable on the Guix System Distribution *** Substitutes are now enabled by default on freshly installed systems *** 164 new packages abcde, astyle, avr-libc, bbdb, bedtools,

module dependencies. See . *** ‘glib-or-gtk-build-system’ has been extended It now handles GIO and XDG themes, takes care of generating the icon cache, and has a new #:glib-or-gtk-wrap-excluded-outputs parameter. *** ‘search-path-specification’ can now specify non-directory items For example, the ‘search-path-specification’ attached to libxml2 specifies a file pattern, which allows all the ‘catalog.xml’ files to be added to the ‘XML_CATALOG_FILES’ environment variable. *** (guix build syscalls) has more network-related procedures ‘set-network-interface-flags’, ‘set-network-interface-address’, ‘network-interface-address’, and ‘configure-network-interface’ are ioctl bindings used by network-handling dmd services. *** (guix monads) refactoring ‘%store-monad’ is now in (guix store) and is an alias for the new ‘%state-monad’ provided by (guix monads). Monadic procedures dealing with the store, with derivations, and with packages have been moved from (guix monads) to (guix store), (guix derivations), and (guix packages). See “The Store Monad” in the manual. *** (guix build utils) provides ‘parallel-job-count’ *** ‘wrap-program’ preserves the original argv[0] *** New (guix sets) module *** ‘define-record-type*’ now support “delayed” fields ** Noteworthy bug fixes *** X session is executed from a login shell () *** grub.cfg is now a garbage-collector root () *** Substituter progress report properly formatted () *** Document permissions for /gnu/store () *** Make sure config.go is newer than config.scm () *** Emacs knows where to find its GLib schemas () *** Adjust 'grub.cfg' to work on systems with a separate /boot () *** Fix removal of next-to-last item in a profile () *** Apply patches with "patch --force" () *** Extend ‘search-path-specification’ for libxml2-style use cases () *** Search for patches under $GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH () *** Use executables from the target inputs in 'patch-shebangs' () *** guix-daemon now automatically creates '…/profiles/per-user' () *** Make /etc/mtab a symlink to /proc/self/mounts () *** Don't build the mips64el-linux-gnuabi64 cross-compiler on i686 () *** Read archive signatures as Latin-1 strings () *** Raise an error for references to non-existent outputs () *** Initialize libgcrypt before use () ** Native language support *** New translations: fr (French), hu (Hungarian) *** Updated translation: eo, vi * Changes in 0.8 (since 0.7) ** Package management *** New visual user interface in Emacs See “Emacs Interface” in the manual. *** New ‘guix environment’ command to produce development environment See “Invoking guix environment” in the manual. *** The ‘guix import’ command has been extended and documented It can now import packages from pypi.python.org and from GNU. See “Invoking guix import” in the manual. *** New ‘guix lint’ command, for use by Guix developers See “Invoking guix lint” in the manual. *** Packages can now be “grafted” with replacements of their dependencies See “Security Updates” in the manual. *** The distribution can be extended with ‘--load-path’ or $GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH This allows users to maintain their own package definitions, and make them visible to the various user interfaces. See “Package Modules” in the manual. *** ‘guix package’ better reports package upgrades *** ‘guix package’ has a new ‘--switch-generation’ option See “Invoking guix package” in the manual. *** ‘guix-daemon’ has a new ‘--substitute-urls’ option See “Invoking guix-daemon” in the manual. ** Distribution *** The stand-alone operating system now supports Linux mapped devices See “Mapped Devices” in the manual. *** New fields in ‘operating-system’ declarations, better documentation New fields include ‘hosts-file’, ‘mapped-devices’, and ‘swap-devices’.

This feature was wrongfully disabled, and is now enabled by default. The former ‘--disable-store-optimization’ option has been renamed to ‘--disable-deduplication’. *** ‘guix-daemon’ no longer uses ‘vfork’ This could cause problems with ancient Linux kernel. *** Fixed compilation of ‘gccgo’ () *** 'make clean' doesn't delete os-config.tmpl () *** Fix handling of periods by fill-paragraph () *** Produce a top-level Info 'dir' file () *** guix offload ignores unreachable machines () *** guix offload: Ignore EEXIST when registering a .drv as a GC root () *** perl-tk: Build sequentially () *** download: Use the 'SERVER NAME' TLS extension when possible () *** libdaemon: Add alternate source URLs () *** icu4c: Reinstate RUNPATH on shared libraries () *** nss-mdns: Add alternate source URLs () *** download: Add "Accept: */*" to the HTTP headers () *** guix-register: Do not attempt to create NIX_STORE_DIR () *** Allow Linux-libre to find our 'modprobe' command () *** man-pages: Build sequentially () *** Fix intermittent test failures involving GC () *** guix import: pypi: Gracefully handle non-existent packages () *** Make sure the shared library has the '.so' extension () *** pull: Use the build procedure provided by the newly-downloaded Guix.

See “Substitutes” in the manual. *** ‘guix package’ has a new ‘--show’ option *** ‘guix refresh’ has a new ‘--list-dependent’ option ** Programming interfaces *** New (guix gexp) module, which implements “G-expressions” G-expressions are a new mechanism to embed build-side code in host-side code. See “G-Expressions” in the manual. *** (gnu system) and related modules now use G-expressions This greatly simplifies code, and guarantees that build code carries references to the packages or derivations it uses. *** ‘build-expression->derivation’ is deprecated in favor of G-expressions *** The (gnu system) module has been largely augmented and factorized *** New (guix build vm) module, support for virtual machine images *** New (guix build activation) module, for “system activation” *** New (guix build syscalls) module *** New (guix build install) and module for whole system installation *** New (gnu system install) module, for the installation system *** New (gnu system file-systems) module, for ‘file-system’ declarations *** New (gnu) module, which aggregates common (gnu …) modules *** ‘service’ records now have an optional ‘activate’ field This allows services to specify code to run at system activation time. ** GNU distribution *** An image to install the GNU system from a USB stick is provided This is the first time an installation image is provided. See “System Installation” in the manual for details. This is work in progress as noted in “Limitations”. Your feedback and help are welcome! *** Support for more parameters in ‘operating-system’ declarations Operating system declarations can now provide a list of file systems, a list of setuid programs, bootloader options, and more. See “System Configuration” in the manual. *** ‘guix system’ supports more actions Newly supported actions are ‘init’, ‘build’, ‘reconfigure’, and ‘disk-image’.

Pre-built binaries are not yet available via hydra.gnu.org, so Guix will build from source on this platform. *** 110 new packages acct, alive, alsa-utils, apl, at-spi2-atk, at-spi2-core, atkmm, autogen, automoc4, brasero, bridge-utils, cairomm, catkin, complexity, evince, ffmpeg, fftw, ftgl, gcc-objc, gcc-objc++, gccgo, gcl, gfortran, glibmm, glpk, gnome-icon-theme, gnu-pw-mgr, gp2c, gpgme, gsettings-desktop-schemas, gtkmm, gtksourceview, guile-ssh, guile-wm, gvpe, hicolor-icon-theme, httpd, icecat, icon-naming-utils, json-c, lapack, libcanberra, libcap, libgnome-keyring, libmikmod, libnl, libnotify, libsamplerate, libsigc++, libsndfile, libssh, libtheora, libxkbcommon, mercurial, mtools, netcat, pangomm, parallel, pavucontrol, pciutils, pem, perl-encode-locale, perl-file-list, perl-file-listing, perl-html-parser, perl-html-tagset, perl-http-cookies, perl-http-daemon, perl-http-date, perl-http-message, perl-http-negotiate, perl-io-html, perl-libwww, perl-libxml, perl-lwp-mediatypes, perl-net-http, perl-uri, perl-www-robotrules, perl-xml-dom, perl-xml-regexp, perl-xml-simple, phonon, powertop, pulseaudio, python2-dogtail, python2-empy, qemu-headless, qt, qt, raptor2, scons, sdl, sdl-gfx, sdl-image, sdl-mixer, sdl-net, sdl-ttf, sdl2, serveez, shared-mime-info, sharutils, skribilo, slim, soprano, swig, xcb-util, xcb-util-image, xcb-util-keysyms, xcb-util-renderutil, xcb-util-wm *** 47 package updates atk 2.10.0, bison 3.0.2, cmake 2.8.12, dmd 0.1, freeipmi 1.3.3, gcc 4.8.2, gcc 4.8.2, gcc-cross-mips64el-linux-gnuabi64 4.8.2, gcc-stripped-tarball 4.8.2, gdb 7.6.2, gettext 0.18.3.1, glib 2.38.0, global 6.2.9, gmp 5.1.3, gnupg 2.0.22, gobject-introspection 1.38.0, grep 2.15, gsl 1.16, gtk+ 2.24.21, gtk+ 3.10.1, guile 2.0.9, guile 2.0.9, guile-xcb 1.2, harfbuzz 0.9.22, hello 2.9, iproute2 3.12.0, libdrm 2.4.46, libextractor 1.2, libjpeg 9, libmicrohttpd 0.9.32, lightning 2.0.2, linux-libre 3.12, lzip 1.15, make 4.0, mit-krb5 1.11.3, pari-gp 2.5.5, pixman 0.32.4, python 3.3.2, qemu 1.6.1, qemu-with-multiple-smb-shares 1.6.1, rcs 5.9.2, recutils 1.6, rsync 3.1.0, tar 1.27.1, texinfo 5.2, units 2.02, xorriso 1.3.2 *** Packages are now built with GCC 4.8.2 by default (was 4.7.3) ** Native language support *** New ‘sr’ (Serbian) translation *** New ‘vi’ (Vietnamese) translation *** Updated ‘pt_BR’ (Brazilian Portuguese) translation ** Bugs fixed *** ‘guix pull’ compiles Guix deterministically and correctly Previously, the build environment was not cleared in between ‘compile-file’ calls, leading to build errors due to Guile bug http://bugs.gnu.org/15602 . *** ‘guix package’ allows removal of a specific package output (http://bugs.gnu.org/15756) *** ‘guix-daemon’ always sets umask to 022 (http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-guix/2013-07/msg00033.html) *** Files referenced by environment variables are protected from GC *** Yet unbuilt packages get correctly installed (http://bugs.gnu.org/15283) *** ‘bootstrap-graph.{png,eps,pdf}’ built in srcdir (http://bugs.gnu.org/15640) * Changes in 0.4 (since 0.3) ** Package management *** New ‘--list-generations’ and ‘--delete-generations’ options The ‘guix package’ command has these two new options, which make it easier to deal with a profile’s generation. See “Invoking guix package” in the manual. *** New ‘guix-register’ program This program allows the meta-data of a new store to be initialized, by copying info from an existing store. It is mostly an internal tool. ** Programming interfaces *** New API to bootstrap Autotools-based packages The (guix build-system gnu) has a new ‘dist-package’ procedure that takes a package object and source directory, and returns a new package object that runs ‘./bootstrap && make dist’ or anything similar. *** ‘derivation’ and related procedures have a #:references-graphs parameter This parameter instructs the build daemon to populate the derivation’s build tree with files containing the list of references of the given store files. This is useful to write code that copies a packages and all its dependencies to another storage device, such as a QEMU disk image. *** Extended API to build a GNU system virtual machine image The (gnu system vm) module has been augmented in many ways: the ‘qemu-image’ procedure can now populate and initialize the image’s store; the new ‘system-qemu-image’ procedure returns a QEMU image that runs dmd as its init system, has ‘login’ running on several consoles, has a set of installed packages, and where Guix can be used. New (gnu system …) modules have been added to handle the configuration of the various parts of a GNU/Linux system. For instance, (gnu system dmd) provides support for instantiating dmd services; (gnu system linux) helps with Linux PAM configuration; and so on. *** objects supersede .drv file names in the API ‘derivation’ and similar procedures no longer return two values (a and a .drv file name); they now return a single value, which is a object. The object embeds the corresponding .drv file name. See “Derivations” in the manual for details. ** GNU distribution *** 60 new packages apr, apr-util, cdparanoia, dbus-glib, dfc, dmd, dvdisaster, exiv2, fetchmail, freefont-ttf, freeglut, geeqie, git, gkrellm, glu, gnome-doc-utils, gst-plugins-base, gstreamer, guile-cairo, guile-lib, guile-xcb, guix, htop, itstool, lame, libextractor, libmicrohttpd, lightning, lzip, mingetty, mutt, net-base, net-tools, ocrad, pspp, python-babel, python-dateutil, python-pytz, python-setuptools, python-simplejson, python-wrapper, python2-babel, python2-dateutil, python2-mechanize, python2-pyicu, python2-pysqlite, python2-pytz, python2-setuptools, python2-simplejson, qemu-system-initrd, qemu-with-multiple-smb-shares, ripperx, shadow, ttf-bitstream-vera, units, valgrind, xmlto, xnee, yasm *** 27 package updates bigloo 4.0b, cairo 1.12.16, ddrescue 1.17, fontconfig 2.10.93, fplll 4.0.4, gcc 4.7.3, gcc 4.7.3, glibc 2.18, glibc 2.18, glibc-stripped-tarball 2.18, gnupg 2.0.21, gnutls 3.2.4, guile 2.0.9, guile 2.0.9, harfbuzz 0.9.21, imagemagick 6.8.6-9, libdrm 2.4.46, libgcrypt 1.5.3, libjpeg 9, libksba 1.3.0, linux-libre 3.11, m4 1.4.17, mpfrcx 0.4.2, pari-gp 2.5.4, python 2.7.5, python 3.3.2, texlive 2013 *** Fontconfig font search path made more convenient Fontconfig, the library used by many graphical applications, such as those based on GTK+, now knows where to find the default set of fonts. Additional fonts installed in the user profile are automatically picked up. *** More GUI applications The ‘emacs’ and ‘racket’ packages are now linked against GTK+. New GTK+ applications have been added (see above.) *** Packaging guidelines The documentation of packaging guidelines has been augmented. See the manual under “GNU Distribution”. *** Support for Python 3 along with Python 2 Python 3 has been added to the distribution, and Python packages that support it are now built for both Python 2 and Python 3. See the “Python Modules” section of the manual for details. ** Internationalization Updated translations: eo. ** Bugs fixed *** Workarounds for Guile 2.0.5 now work on Debian derivatives *** The dependency graph image has correct size in PDF output *** 'ldd' now works correctly on x86_64 *** Xorg server test suite no longer fails (http://bugs.gnu.org/15392) *** module-init-tools now builds (http://bugs.gnu.org/15182, http://bugs.gnu.org/15187) *** Hop 2.4 builds with newer Bigloo (http://bugs.gnu.org/15194) * Changes in 0.3 (since 0.2) ** Package management *** Cross-compilation support Guix can now cross-build packages. On the command-line, this is achieved with the new ‘--target’ command-line option of ‘guix build’. At the Scheme level, the guts of this is the ‘package-cross-derivation’ procedure. Core packages of the distribution can already be cross-compiled. See the manual for details. *** New ‘--max-silent-time’ option for “guix build” and “guix package” See the manual for details. *** New ‘--fallback’ option for “guix build” and “guix package” This option instructs to fall back to local builds when the substituter fails to download a substitute. *** New ‘--requisites’ option for “guix gc” See the manual for details. *** New ‘--key-download’ option for “guix refresh” See the manual for details. ** Programming interfaces *** New ‘package-cross-derivation’ procedure in (guix derivations) See the manual for details. *** New ‘%current-target-system’ SRFI-39 parameter This parameter is like ‘%current-system’, but for cross-compilation. It allows code in package definitions (such as in the ‘arguments’ field) to know whether it is being cross-compiled, and what the target system is. *** New (guix hash) module; new ‘open-sha256-port’ and ‘sha256-port’ procedures This improves performance of SHA256 computations. ** GNU distribution *** 33 new packages alsa-lib, babel, cairo, cvs, gcal, gcc-cross-mips64el-linux-gnuabi64, gd, gdk-pixbuf, graphviz, grue-hunter, gtk+, gts, harfbuzz, imagemagick, iproute2, iptables, libspectre, mpg321, noweb, pango, plotutils, privoxy, pytz, racket, rubber, rush, strace, tk, torsocks, unrtf, vc-dwim, wordnet, xlockmore *** 25 package updates automake 1.14, ed 1.9, freeipmi 1.2.8, gawk 4.1.0, gcc 4.8.1, gettext 0.18.3, glib 2.37.1, gmp 5.1.2, gnutls 3.2.1, gzip 1.6, help2man 1.43.3, libapr 1.4.8, libaprutil 1.5.2, libassuan 2.1.1, libffi 3.0.13, libgc 7.2d, libgpg-error 1.12, libidn 1.28, libpng 1.5.17, lout 3.40, lsh 2.1, nettle 2.7.1, qemu 1.5.1, tzdata 2013d, xorriso 1.3.0 *** Binary packages now available for i686-linux The build farm at http://hydra.gnu.org now provides 32-bit GNU/Linux binaries (i686-linux), in addition to the x86_64-linux binaries. Both can be transparently used as substitutes for local builds on these platforms. *** Debug info packages Some packages now have a “debug” output containing debugging information. The “debug” output can be used by GDB, and can be installed separately from the other outputs of the package. See “Installing Debugging Files” in the manual. *** Bootstrap binaries can be cross-compiled The distribution can now be ported to new architectures (currently GNU/Linux-only) by cross-compiling the “bootstrap binaries”. See “Porting” in the manual. *** Bootstrapping documented See “Bootstrapping” in the manual, for information on how the GNU distribution builds “from scratch”. ** Internationalization New translations: eo, pt_BR. ** Bugs fixed *** “guix --help” now works when using Guile 2.0.5 *** Binary substituter multi-threading and pipe issues fixed These could lead to random substituter crashes while substituting a binary. See commits 0332386 and 101d9f3 for details. *** Binary substituter gracefully handles lack of network connectivity *** Daemon properly handles rebuilds of multiple-output derivations Previously it would fail when rebuilding a multiple-output derivation when some (but not all) of its outputs were already present. See http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-guix/2013-06/msg00038.html and https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/122 . *** ‘guix package -i foo:out’ no longer removes other outputs of ‘foo’ Previously only the ‘out’ output of package ‘foo’ would be kept in the profile. *** Replacement (srfi srfi-37) provided if the user’s one is broken When the user’s (srfi srfi-37) is affected by http://bugs.gnu.org/13176 (Guile < 2.0.9), a replacement with the bug fix is provided. This bug would affect command-line argument processing in some cases. * Changes in 0.2 (since 0.1) ** Package management *** Guix commands are now sub-commands of the “guix” program Instead of typing “guix-package”, one now has to type “guix package”, and so on. This has allowed us to homogenize the user interface and initial program setup, and to allow commands to be upgradable through “guix pull”. *** New “guix package --upgrade” option As the name implies, this option atomically upgrades all the packages installed in a profile or the set of packages matching a given regexp. See “Invoking guix package” in the manual. *** New “guix package --search” option Performs a full text search in package synopses and descriptions, and returns the matching packages in recutils format. See “Invoking guix package” in the manual, for details. *** New “guix pull” command The command pulls the latest version of Guix–both the package management modules and the distribution. See the manual for details. *** New binary substituter The “substituter” mechanism allows pre-built binaries to be transparently downloaded instead of performing a build locally. Currently binaries are available for x86_64 Linux-based GNU systems from http://hydra.gnu.org. The distribution is continuously built and binaries are made available from there. See http://hydra.gnu.org/jobset/gnu/master under “Job status” for the list of available binary packages. *** New “guix refresh” command The command is used by Guix maintainers. It automatically updates the distribution to the latest upstream releases of GNU software. *** New “guix hash” command Convenience command to compute the hash of a file. See the manual for details. *** Nix daemon code updated The daemon code from Nix, used by the ‘guix-daemon’ command, has been updated to current Nix ‘master’. ** Programming interfaces *** (guix download) now supports HTTPS, using GnuTLS It allows package source tarballs to be retrieved over HTTPS. *** New ‘native-search-path’ and ‘search-path’ package fields Packages can define in their ‘native-search-path’ field environment variables that define search paths and need to be set for proper functioning of the package. For instance, GCC has ‘CPATH’ and ‘LIBRARY_PATH’ in its ‘native-search-path’, Perl has ‘PERL5LIB’, Python has ‘PYTHONPATH’, etc. These environment variables are automatically set when building a package that uses one of these. *** Package inputs can be a function of the target system type The ‘inputs’ field of a package can now be conditional on the value of (%current-system). This is useful for packages that take system-dependent tarballs as inputs, such as GNU/MIT Scheme. *** New build systems The ‘perl-build-system’, ‘python-build-system’, and ‘cmake-build-system’ have been added. They implement the standard build systems for Perl, Python, and CMake packages. *** Tools to build Linux initrds, QEMU images, and more The (gnu packages linux-initrd) module provides a procedure to build a Linux initrd (“initial RAM disk”). The initrd embeds Guile, which is used to evaluate the given expression. The example below returns an initrd that mounts the /proc file system and starts a REPL: (expression->initrd '(begin (mkdir "/proc") (mount "none" "/proc" "proc") ((@ (system repl repl) start-repl)))) More examples in the linux-initrd.scm file. Experimental interfaces to produce and use QEMU images are provided by the (gnu system vm) module. For instance, the ‘expression->derivation-in-linux-vm’ evaluates the given Scheme expression in a QEMU virtual machine running the Linux kernel and Guile. ** GNU distribution Many updates and additions have been made to the distribution. Here are the highlights. *** Major updates GCC 4.7.3 (the default) and GCC 4.8.0, Binutils 2.23.2, Guile 2.0.9, Coreutils 8.20, GDB 7.6, Texinfo 5.1. *** Noteworthy new packages TeXLive, Xorg, GNU GRUB, GNU Parted, QEMU and QEMU-KVM, Avahi, Bigloo, CHICKEN, Scheme48, Hugs, Python, Lua, Samba.
