nixfmt v1.0.0 released! 🥳
This is the first stable release of the official Nix formatter. It implements RFC 166, which defines a standard for Nix formatting.
Great work by the Nix Formatting Team, thanks to everyone involved!

Nice, lib.packagesFromDirectoryRecursive now supports nested scopes!
packagesFromDirectoryRecursive transforms a directory tree of packages into a nested attribute set of derivations. You can use it to manage a package set in a similar way to by-name in nixpkgs (without the sharding part). The package files in tree must be suitable for callPackage.
Subdirectories in the tree result in nested attribute sets. In the following example, packages d, e and f will be in a nested attribute set called my-namespace.

Previously, this would only use one scope (my-packages), so e could only depend on d as my-packages.d. With the introduction of nested scopes, e can refer to d within the same scope directly.
