 * Based on [upstream Nix 2.28.3](../release-notes/rl-2.28.md).
 
 ## What's Changed
-* Deprecate upgrade-nix command in favor of `determinate-nixd upgrade`, by @gustavderdrache in [DeterminateSystems/nix-src#55](https://github.com/DeterminateSystems/nix-src/pull/55)
+
+Most notably, Lazy Trees has merged in to Determinate Nix and is in Feature Preview status, but remains disabled by default.
+Lazy trees massively improves performance in virtually all scenarios because it enables Nix to avoid making unnecessary copies of files into the Nix store.
+In testing, we saw iteration times on Nixpkgs **drop from over 12 seconds to 3.5 seconds**.
+
+After upgrading to Determinate Nix 3.5.1 with `sudo determinate-nixd upgrade`, enable lazy trees by adding this to `/etc/nix/nix.custom.conf`:
+
+```
+lazy-trees = true
+```
+
+Please note that our full flake regression test suite passes with no changes with lazy trees, and please report compatibility issues.
+
+Read [this GitHub comment](https://github.com/DeterminateSystems/nix-src/pull/27#pullrequestreview-2822153088) for further details and next steps.
+We'll be publishing an update on the [Determinate Systems blog](https://determinate.systems/posts/) in the next few days with more information as well.

-* Canonicalize flake input URLs before checking flake.lock file staleness, for dealing with `dir` in URL-style flakerefs by @edolstra in [DeterminateSystems/nix-src#57](https://github.com/DeterminateSystems/nix-src/pull/57)
-* Improve build failure error messages by @edolstra in [DeterminateSystems/nix-src#58](https://github.com/DeterminateSystems/nix-src/pull/58)

+### Additional changes in this release:
+* Bug fix: Flake input URLs are canonicalized before checking flake.lock file staleness, avoiding needlessly regenerating flake.lock files with `dir` in URL-style flakerefs by @edolstra in [DeterminateSystems/nix-src#57](https://github.com/DeterminateSystems/nix-src/pull/57)
+* `nix upgrade-nix` is deprecated in favor of `determinate-nixd upgrade`, by @gustavderdrache in [DeterminateSystems/nix-src#55](https://github.com/DeterminateSystems/nix-src/pull/55)
+* UX: Improved build failure and dependency failure error messages to include needed output paths by @edolstra in [DeterminateSystems/nix-src#58](https://github.com/DeterminateSystems/nix-src/pull/58).
