This does not add missing release notes, and it doesn't do anything about the profiles feature we would really like to have so we can have consistent credit. Change-Id: I72a6f7acfcff85f380be17dac76501a6f4693776

Leading periods were allowed by accident in Nix 2.4. The Nix team has considered this to be a bug, but this behavior has since been relied on by users, leading to unnecessary difficulties.
|
|
From now on, leading periods are officially, definitively supported. The names `.` and `..` are disallowed, as well as those starting with `.-` or `..-`.
|
|
|
|
Nix versions that denied leading periods are documented [in the issue](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/912#issuecomment-1919583286).
