+# Release 2.27.0 (2025-03-03)
+
+- `inputs.self.submodules` flake attribute [#12421](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/12421)
+
+  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`.
+
+- Git LFS support [#10153](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/10153) [#12468](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/12468)
+
+  The Git fetcher now supports Large File Storage (LFS). This can be enabled by passing the attribute `lfs = true` to the fetcher, e.g.
+  ```console
+  nix flake prefetch 'git+ssh://[email protected]/Apress/repo-with-large-file-storage.git?lfs=1'
+  ```
+
+  A flake can also declare that it requires LFS to be enabled:
+  ```
+  {
+    inputs.self.lfs = true;
+  }
+  ```

+
+- Handle the case where a chroot store is used and some inputs are in the "host" `/nix/store` [#12512](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/12512)
+
+  The evaluator now presents a "union" filesystem view of the `/nix/store` in the host and the chroot.
+
+  This change also removes some hacks that broke `builtins.{path,filterSource}` in chroot stores [#11503](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issue/11503).
+
+- `nix flake prefetch` now has a `--out-link` option [#12443](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issue/12443)
+
+- Set `FD_CLOEXEC` on sockets created by curl [#12439](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/12439)
+
+  Curl created sockets without setting `FD_CLOEXEC`/`SOCK_CLOEXEC`. This could previously cause connections to remain open forever when using commands like `nix shell`. This change sets the `FD_CLOEXEC` flag using a `CURLOPT_SOCKOPTFUNCTION` callback.
