This renders the rl-next notes when `officialRelease = false`, which corresponds to the case where we're not on a release branch. Previously we had disabled this behavior because changelog-d is somewhat of a heavy dependency, being the only Haskell package. However, we now have new circumstances that topple the tradeoff. - We render `master` docs to https://nix.dev/manual/nix/development/release-notes/rl-next.html - `.#manual` is a separate build now, so `nix build nix/foo` is not affected by the increased closure of build input outputs. Because of these factors, I believe adding this functionality back is more valuable, as we can use it to - Previous release notes - Showcase the upcoming release to the community |
