Thank you to #Equinix (https://www.equinix.com/) for the sponsorship, since 2017, of our ephemeral ARM+Intel builders for Linux. Your partnership made it possible to build a massive collection of packages and to populate binary caches for them. Thank you.

NixCon 2024 is kicking off this Friday!

This will be a community-oriented conference and hackcentre for contributors and users of Nix and NixOS. It's about sharing experiences, inspiring people, discussing future development or just hanging out with fellow contributors. This is an event by the community for the community. We want to show that we are self-sufficient, and for that reason, there will be no sponsorships this time.

We're excited to meet in Berlin!

There is a vulnerability in Nix 2.24.

If you're using the regular nix from nixpkgs (which the vast majority of users will be), you're still on a safe version. If you recently (after August 1st) installed nix using the nix (not NixOS) installers, or are using nixVersions.git from nixpkgs, then you need to double-check. Affected users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.24.6, which fixes the issue.
