Hi,

New version is coming soon.  After the merge of core-updates-frozen. :-)

You can run:

  guix pull --branch=core-updates-frozen

and upgrade your system.  Report the failures.  Note that it is
possible that substitutes are missing; maybe check using "guix
weather" the availability if you cannot or do not want to burn CPU.
:-)


Hope that helps,
simon
