# Release 3.8.0 (2025-07-10)
* Based on [upstream Nix 2.30.0](../release-notes/rl-2.30.md).
## What's Changed
### Faster CI with `nix flake check`
`nix flake check` no longer downloads flake outputs if no building is necessary.
This command is intended to validate that a flake can fully evaluate and all outputs can build.
If the outputs are available in a binary cache then both properties are confirmed to be true.
Notably, downloading the output from the binary cache is not strictly necessary for the validation.
Previously, `nix flake check` would download a flake output if the full build is available in a binary cache.
Some users will find this change significantly reduces costly bandwidth and CI workflow time.
PR: [DeterminateSystems/nix-src#134](https://github.com/DeterminateSystems/nix-src/pull/134)
### Improved flake locking of transitive dependencies
Determinate Nix now re-locks all transitive dependencies when changing a flake input's source URL.
This fixes an issue where in some scenarios Nix would not re-lock those inputs and incorrectly use the old inputs' dependencies.
