Changelog

2.0.0 Breaking changes

• Rewritten in Rust
• Always prints long outputs with all recent builds unless --short is explicitly specified
• --arch defaults to the target architecture (instead of x86_64-linux all the time)
• --jobset explicitly conflicts with --channel to avoid confusion, as channels are just aliases for jobsets
• The staging channel / alias is removed as nixos/staging is no longer active; instead we add staging-next as an alias for nixpkgs/staging-next
• The default unstable channel points to nixpkgs/trunk on non-NixOS systems

Features

• Print recent evaluations of the jobset if no package is specified
• Add an --eval flag for information about a specific evaluation
• Infer the current stable Nixpkgs release (e.g. 24.05) with a hack
• Support standard channel names (e.g. nixos-unstable)
• Generate shell completions with --shell-completion SHELL
• Print nicely formatted, colored and aligned tables
