That took a while to parse.

After all - there are not so many API changes I expected, but there are quite a few.
Most of the work was done in the new module after all.

Hi,

Thanks for the updates. I would like to make two additions to the release note:

1. Add a warning that most of the public API is there only by accident, and is not to be relied upon.
2. Add a top-level note saying that derivationStrict, and hence every evaluation of a derivation into a store path relies on hnix-store-remote, which means implicitly that it relies on a running nix daemon and will make changes in the real nix store behind.

The first warning would also simplify the work of providing release notes.

For example, my move to Nix/Effects/Derivation.hs was only meant to separate relatively unrelated code and collect derivation-related functions in a single place. I do not think these functions should be part of any kind of API.

Yep.

Thank you for the note.

Team (probably means I) need to bite the bullet and move the modules to the Internal structure, aka superfluously just graf-lift everything as a preparation phase to the clean-up. So when we clean-up the public interface - we would have distinguished private internal interfaces and public ones and form them properly.

The note that derivationStrict is effectful and how is definitely a must be top.

I think the same disclaimer probably needs to be in the readme.
