-<title>Release 1.4 (2013-02-26)</title>
-
-<para>This release fixes a security bug in multi-user operation.  It
-was possible for derivations to cause the mode of files outside of the
-Nix store to be changed to 444 (read-only but world-readable) by
-creating hard links to those files (<link
-xlink:href="https://github.com/NixOS/nix/commit/5526a282b5b44e9296e61e07d7d2626a79141ac4">details</link>).</para>

-  <listitem><para>New built-in function:
-  <function>builtins.hashString</function>.</para></listitem>
-
-  <listitem><para>Build logs are now stored in
-  <filename>/nix/var/log/nix/drvs/<replaceable>XX</replaceable>/</filename>,
-  where <replaceable>XX</replaceable> is the first two characters of
-  the derivation.  This is useful on machines that keep a lot of build
-  logs (such as Hydra servers).</para></listitem>
-
-  <listitem><para>The function <function>corepkgs/fetchurl</function>
-  can now make the downloaded file executable.  This will allow
-  getting rid of all bootstrap binaries in the Nixpkgs source
-  tree.</para></listitem>
-
-  <listitem><para>Language change: The expression <literal>"${./path}
-  ..."</literal> now evaluates to a string instead of a
-  path.</para></listitem>
