Nope - not much is covered. We'll have to do a better job for next release. How shall we find all the breaking changes and highlights? Someone eyeballs all commits, or we do a call for important changes (CFIC)? Crawl through commits and document them. It's tedious work and that's why we should focus on getting docs and changelog done *as part* of the pull requests. Wout. PS: We should make releases happen every 5 months so we keep a 6 month cycle ;) I don't mind if we release every 7 or 5 months, as long as we don't postpone the releases (as we already did for 14.11 and 15.05). Having 1 month for stabilization should suffice for most of the time.

[Nix-dev] Possible breaking changes from staging
In this period I'm working on GNOME 3.16 and NetworkManager 1.0 [1]. In addition to that, glib has been bumped. I'm currently compiling the PR for staging and then merge it if everything works. Below the possible breakages you must be aware of. These updates are necessary to forward our software, we'll fix eventual bugs with the time. * glib 2.42 - 2.44 This update is minor yet not entirely trivial. It's probable that software using gdbus may break because of bugs fixed in 2.44. * NM 0.9.8.10 - 1.0 It's big but shouldn't be breaking anything. In particular, you'll see a vboxnet0 interface in nm-applet if you enabled the virtualbox nixos service, I hope that will go away with further upstream updates. We haven't upgraded it until now because previously it showed tons of vboxnet interfaces, making the applet unusable. * GNOME 3.12 - 3.16 I did my best to keep both 3.12 and 3.16 in our repository, but I won't guarantee that 3.12 will keep working as well as before, I won't maintain it anymore. In case you switch to GNOME 3.16, running GTK 3.12 apps will be ugly because they broke some css stuff. Therefore I suggest you to add in packageOverrides a gnome3 = gnome3_16; and forget about GNOME 3.12, it will be dropped as soon as possible.
