Release 0.8.0

0.8.0 - 2021-02-11

Added

• Bazel Skylib is now included as a dependency on rules_nixpkgs_dependencies.
  See #125.
• nixpkgs_python_configure now exposes the quiet attribute for the
  underlying nispkgs_package.
  See #131.
• The default BUILD file of nixpkgs_package now finds more kinds of C/C++
  header files in the include target.
  See #137.

Changed

• The implementation of nixpkgs_cc_configure has been replaced by a more
  hermetic version that no longer uses Bazel's builtin autodection toolchain
  under the hood. The previous behavior is now available under the name
  nixpkgs_cc_configure_deprecated, if required.
  See #128.
• The values in the nixopts attribute to nixpkgs_package are now subject to
  location expansion. Any instance of $(location LABEL) in the nixopts
  attribute will be expanded to the file path of the file referenced by
  LABEL. To pass a plain $ to Nix it must be escaped as $$.
  See #132.

Deprecated

• The old implementation of nixpkgs_cc_configure, now available under the
  name nixpkgs_cc_configure_deprecated, has been marked as deprecated in
  favor of nixpkgs_cc_configure and will be replaced by it in future.
  See #128.

Fixed

• Incorrect label contruction for Nix file dependencies.
  See #124.
