@valpackett Thank you! @piegames and other Nixpkgs contributors did a bunch of work closely with nixpkgs to ensure that modern nixpkgs eval cleanly without it *AND* do not re-introduce those. Older (EOL) nixpkgs may require the deprecated feature flags to be passed.

@louis In terms of Rust, our first plans involves rather to use FFI techniques to bring Rust to the codebase rather than use Cap'n'Proto from Rust right away.
You can follow the overall progress publicly here: https://zulip.lix.systems/#narrow/channel/15-Rust (our most active area of work is using cxx properly right now).

@herorareheart Lix is an alternative implementation of the Nix interpreter, it's not a replacement to NixOS. NixOS can use Lix or CppNix (the default implementation) as Nix interpreter for the various operations (nix shells, etc.).

We're happy to announce #Lix 2.95 "Kakigōri" is now available.
This version brings a wide range of improvements, including numerous bug fixes, reduced technical debt, and quality-of-life enhancements. You'll also notice better performance when working with certain large dependency graphs. Flakes and RPC are still key areas we are working on.
For the full list of changes, check out our blog post!

Do you remember when we announced LixCon 2026 a while back? It's getting closer, and we have just opened our CfP!
We're looking for passionate community members (both from Lix and related communities) to share their knowledge, thoughts, experiences in during the first day of our conference.
If that sounds like you, check out the CfP at the link below:

@cbleslie@hachyderm.io yes. effectively permanent until they are no longer entangled in lix core.
this isn't really a change but a formalization of the existing attitude: flakes, from a Nix implementation developer perspective, have been extremely fragile and most attempts to add features or fix bugs in them or fetchers have created bugs or incompatibilities with CppNix.

It’s release time! We’re happy to announce #Lix 2.94 “Açaí na tigela” is now available.
With this release, you’re getting bug fixes, performance tweaks and quality of life improvements, as well as our first steps towards Cap’n’proto based RPC.
An important note: Flakes turn even colder, as our implementation of them enters the freeze period.
For the full list of changes, check out our blog post! https://lix.systems/blog/2025-11-18-lix-2.94-release/

We got it worked around thanks to our releng just being a pile of nix and having sound caching so we copied the resulting store paths to a Linux computer and reran releng and it mostly just wasted some setup time.
Release blog post coming soon for 2.94.0.
