  Release notes: <https://discourse.nixos.org/t/nix-2-34-0-released/75818>

⚠ïļ Nix 2.34.0 contains a regression that, under certain scenarios (a `trusted-user` + a client-side `netrc-file`), breaks authentication with private caches that rely on `netrc` files. This regression affects `cachix/cachix-action`.

**UPD: 2.34.1 has been released with a patch for the authentication issue**
