15-11-2024

• nix: toolchains.<build/shell> attributes were removed and replaced with toolchains.mkBuild and toolchains.mkShell respectively.
  • these take functions that take a nixpkgs instance and should output a rust toolchain package.

03-10-2023

• nix: new nci.outputs.<name>.check and nci.crates.<name>.checkProfile options
  • the new check output is a package that only runs cargo test using the package generated for the profile specified in checkProfile.

27-09-2023

• nix: new nci.projects.<name>.targets and nci.crates.<name>.targets options
  • These allow you to generate separate packages for separate targets, and configure each target separately
  • Please check the option's documentation for more info, and the cross-compile-wasm example.

26-09-2023

• nix: drvConfig and depsDrvConfig options were changed to resemble dream2nix more
  • mkDerivation options now must be defined under drvConfig.mkDerivation and depsDrvConfig.mkDerivation respectively
• nix: implemented drvConfig and depsDrvConfig under nci.crates.<name>.profiles.<profile name> option
  • This means that now every profile package can be customized separately.
• nix: added a new example showcasing how to customize profiles

19-09-2023

• nix: update internals to use dream2nix v1 API.
• nix: remove overrides and depsOverrides options from project and crate settings.
  • These are now replaced by drvConfig and depsDrvConfig respectively. Please check out the updated examples.
• nix: replace project relPath setting with path setting.
• nix: change default value of export in project settings to true.
  • This means that all packages and development shells will be exported by default now.
  • You can set nci.projects."project-name".export = false to return to old behaviour.
• nix: added new option nci.toolchainConfig
  • This allows you to set the toolchain configuration manually.
  • It can point to a rust-toolchain.toml or legacy rust-toolchain file, or
  • it can point to an attrset containing what the toolchain section in a rust-toolchain.toml file would contain
    • (so options such as channel, components and targets)

19-02-2023

• nix: rewrite in flake-parts! Please look at the readme for new documentation link. If you have any questions on how to migrate, please ask them here on GitHub Discussions.

04-11-2022

• nix: the outputs prefixed with -debug are now named with the -dev prefix. @ #97
  • This was done to have more consistency with Cargo profiles (eg. profiles.dev == -dev prefix).

24-09-2022

• nix and cargo-toml: the whole interface was changed! Please refer to the documentation and the example flake.
