- `PostgreSQL packaging is getting an overhaul`_

Easier use of plugins, version 10 as default, improved documentation,
LLVM JIT support and more.

.. _`PostgreSQL packaging is getting an overhaul`: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/38698

Add pkgs.overrideWithScope. This function is similar to pkgs.override, except

- `RFC 30: Formalize review workflow`_

A proposal for a new review workflow based on a set of pull-request states
(needs:review, needs:work). It is intended to help reviewers and contributors
get PRs merged quicker and reduce likelihood of PRs getting lost. It also
greatly increases the value of non-commiter reviews.

.. _`RFC 30: Formalize review workflow`: https://github.com/NixOS/rfcs/pull/30


- `libnix-haskell 0.2.0.1 released`_

libnix provides a nicely typed wrapper around the nix command line (for parsing,
instantiating and realizing). It also provides wrappers for the nix-prefetch-url
and nix-prefetch-git.

.. _`libnix-haskell 0.2.0.1 released`: https://hackage.haskell.org/package/libnix-0.2.0.1
