> Hi all,
>
> I'd like to announce NixOS 16.09 beta in the name of community.
>
> This release will bring two major changes:
>
> - multiple outputs, reducing runtime closure size (sometimes even by half)
> - security hardening flags
>
> Please upgrade channels as usual and test:
>
>     $ nix-channel --add https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-16.09 nixos
>     $ nixos-rebuild switch --upgrade
>
> I'd like to point out two serious bugs that you might hit:
>
> - dbus will fail to reload, see https://github.com/NixOS/
> nixpkgs/issues/18358
> - make sure /var/empty doesn't have write permissions set otherwise sshd
> won't start, see https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/18365
>
> If you'd like to help out, test and check the github bug tracker under
> 16.09 milestone.
>
> As usual, we're working on getting build failures down:
> https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/18209
>
> Final is set to be release on 29th September.
>
> I've also finally put together a PR that documents the release process,
> any feeback is welcome (it's still far from perfect):
> https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/18062
>
> PS: 16.09-small channel will be also created once container tests are fixed
