Hi everyone!

I’m happy to announce our new stable channel, NixOS 19.09 “Loris”!

While I have the honor of being the one to sign the tag and post the release announcement, I’m far from being the only contributor — in fact, across a total of over 22,000 commits since 19.03, I only played a part in 40 of them! The rest was covered by 959 other contributors (74 more than for 19.03, let’s keep that growth going!). The following commit authors were particularly prolific:

Numbers notwithstanding, many thanks to everyone who contributed; I’d also like to thank @lheckemann, my co-release-manager, who helped me learn the process of releasing NixOS and handled a large part of the work in creating the release. This release has only been successful because of the great community we have! Keep up the good work!

Enjoy the release, everyone!
