Rename doc/manual{src -> source}
This is needed to avoid this https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/13774 when we go back to making our subproject directory `src`.

# Release 1.6.1 (2013-10-28)
|
||||
|
||||
This is primarily a bug fix release. Changes of interest are:
|
||||
|
||||
- Nix 1.6 accidentally changed the semantics of antiquoted paths in
|
||||
strings, such as `"${/foo}/bar"`. This release reverts to the Nix
|
||||
1.5.3 behaviour.
|
||||
|
||||
- Previously, Nix optimised expressions such as `"${expr}"` to *expr*.
|
||||
Thus it neither checked whether *expr* could be coerced to a string,
|
||||
nor applied such coercions. This meant that `"${123}"` evaluatued to
|
||||
`123`, and `"${./foo}"` evaluated to `./foo` (even though `"${./foo}
|
||||
"` evaluates to `"/nix/store/hash-foo "`). Nix now checks the type
|
||||
of antiquoted expressions and applies coercions.
|
||||
|
||||
- Nix now shows the exact position of undefined variables. In
|
||||
particular, undefined variable errors in a `with` previously didn't
|
||||
show *any* position information, so this makes it a lot easier to
|
||||
fix such errors.
|
||||
|
||||
- Undefined variables are now treated consistently. Previously, the
|
||||
`tryEval` function would catch undefined variables inside a `with`
|
||||
but not outside. Now `tryEval` never catches undefined variables.
|
||||
|
||||
- Bash completion in `nix-shell` now works correctly.
|
||||
|
||||
- Stack traces are less verbose: they no longer show calls to builtin
|
||||
functions and only show a single line for each derivation on the
|
||||
call stack.
|
||||
|
||||
- New built-in function: `builtins.typeOf`, which returns the type of
|
||||
its argument as a string.
