-- Set FD_CLOEXEC on sockets created by curl [#12439](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/12439)
-
-  Curl creates sockets without setting FD_CLOEXEC/SOCK_CLOEXEC, this can cause connections to remain open forever when using commands like `nix shell`
+- `inputs.self.submodules` flake attribute [#12421](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/12421)
 
-  This change sets the FD_CLOEXEC flag using a CURLOPT_SOCKOPTFUNCTION callback.
+  Flakes in Git repositories can now declare that they need Git submodules to be enabled:
+  ```
+  {
+    inputs.self.submodules = true;
+  }
+  ```
+  Thus, it's no longer needed for the caller of the flake to pass `submodules = true`.
