+- [Nix error messages proposal: phase 2, PR 1 merged!](https://opencollective.com/nix-errors-enhancement/updates/nix-error-enhancement-phase-2-pr-1-merged)
+
+  Nearly every C++ file in the repo was touched! This will be the biggest PR, by far, for this
+  project. Getting this in is a major feat!
+
+  Next up, I'm looking forward to finishing out this phase with showing the lines of code for errors,
+  and supporting show-trace in the new format. I expect that PR to be much easier, both to make the
+  changes and to review them.
