Announcing Lix 2.95 “Kakigōri”

We at the Lix team are proud to announce our sixth major release, version 2.95 “Kakigōri”. This release focuses on long-awaited bugfixes, quality-of-life improvements, documentation, performance improvements and continued integration of Lix with the Cap’n’Proto remote procedure call runtime to replace the previous bespoke implementation.

@lix_project This is a dumb question, but what exactly is Lix? I recall declining to use NixOS for a few reasons forever ago, sighting community as one of my reasons, and got told "use Lix then" and I'm no closer to understanding what it is today.

@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.).
