nix-shell $x now looks for $x/shell.nix when $x resolves to a directory.
Although this might be seen as a breaking change, its primarily interactive usage makes it a minor issue. This adjustment addresses a commonly reported problem.
This also applies to nix-shell shebang scripts. Consider the following example:
#!/usr/bin/env nix-shell
#!nix-shell -i bash
This will now load shell.nix from the script's directory, if it exists; default.nix otherwise.
The old behavior can be opted into by setting the option nix-shell-always-looks-for-shell-nix to false.
