Version 1.1.0 of the GNU Guix transactional package manager and system distribution has been [1]released . " It’s been 11 months since the previous release, during which 201 people contributed code and packages. This is a long time for a release, which is in part due to the fact that bug fixes and new features are continuously delivered to our users via guix pull. However, a number of improvements, in particular in the installer, will greatly improve the experience of first-time users. "

After his legs had been broken in an accident, Mr. Miller sued for damages,
claiming that he was crippled and would have to spend the rest of his life
in a wheelchair. Although the insurance-company doctor testified that his
bones had healed properly and that he was fully capable of walking, the
judge decided for the plaintiff and awarded him $500,000.
When he was wheeled into the insurance office to collect his check,
Miller was confronted by several executives. "You're not getting away with
this, Miller," one said. "We're going to watch you day and night. If you
take a single step, you'll not only repay the damages but stand trial for
perjury. Here's the money. What do you intend to do with it?"
"My wife and I are going to travel," Miller replied. "We'll go to
Stockholm, Berlin, Rome, Athens and, finally, to a place called Lourdes --
where, gentlemen, you'll see yourselves one hell of a miracle."
