Overview of updated versions:
stable: 50.0.2661.102 -> 51.0.2704.63
beta: 51.0.2704.47 -> 51.0.2704.63
I tried to update dev, but couldn't get it to compile, it was failing
with a "'isnan' was not declared in this scope.
As far as I can tell, at the moment the beta and stable channels are
on the same version.

Nixpkgs is a collection of packages for the Nix package manager. It is periodically built and tested by the hydra build daemon as so-called channels. To get channel information via git, add nixpkgs-channels as a remote:
% git remote add channels git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels.git
For stability and maximum binary package support, it is recommended to maintain
custom changes on top of one of the channels, e.g. nixos-16.03 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-16.03
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
