2006-05-30	* Not all platforms have sys/select.h.	Eelco Dolstra

2006-05-30	* Don't use badTerm, it gives awful error messages.	Eelco Dolstra

2006-05-29	* Handle $PATHs with spaces.	Eelco Dolstra

2006-05-29	* Disable the concurrent garbage collector on Cygwin for now.	Eelco Dolstra

2006-05-24	* Some Cygwin fixes.	Eelco Dolstra

2006-05-12	* Support for srcdir != builddir (NIX-41).	Eelco Dolstra

2006-05-11	* 64-bit compatibility fixes (for problems revealed by building on an Athlon	Eelco Dolstra
	64 running 64-bit SUSE). A patched ATerm library is required to run Nix succesfully.
2006-05-08	* Remove old manifests in `nix-channel --update'.	Eelco Dolstra

2006-05-08	* GCC 2.95 compatibility.	Eelco Dolstra

2006-05-08	(no commit message)	Eelco Dolstra

2006-05-08	* Allow function argument default values to refer to other arguments	Eelco Dolstra
	of the function. Implements NIX-45.
2006-05-08	* Show evaluation stats when NIX_SHOW_STATS=1.	Eelco Dolstra

2006-05-04	* Use the new ATermMap.	Eelco Dolstra

2006-05-04	* Iterators.	Eelco Dolstra

2006-05-04	* Keep some statistics about memory allocation.	Eelco Dolstra

2006-05-03	* Maintain the count field properly.	Eelco Dolstra

2006-05-03	* New ATermMap, seems more-or-less finished.	Eelco Dolstra

2006-05-03	* Started hacking on a ATermTable replacement, since ATermTable uses	Eelco Dolstra
	gigantic amounts of memory --- 65536 bytes per table at least --- which makes it unsuitable for representing short-lived substitution tables and attribute sets.
2006-05-02	* Optimise null-ary term builders. Also declare all term builder	Eelco Dolstra
	functions as pure, which might improve performance a bit.
2006-05-02	* Use a linked list of substitutions. This reduces the amount of	Eelco Dolstra
	copying.
2006-05-02	* Removed a bunch of ATreverses.	Eelco Dolstra

2006-05-02	* Huge reduction in memory use (2/3 or so on large nix-env -qas	Eelco Dolstra
	operations): share ATermMaps between DrvInfos.
2006-05-02	* Memory reduction: replaced expensive calls to ATmakeApplList by	Eelco Dolstra
	ATmakeApplArray, and got rid of ATreverse in substitute().
2006-05-02	* Some preliminaries towards NIX-45.	Eelco Dolstra

2006-05-02	* More tests.	Eelco Dolstra

2006-05-02	* Tests for NIX-45.	Eelco Dolstra

2006-05-01	* Disallow unescaped $ in string literals.	Eelco Dolstra

2006-05-01	* String interpolation. Expressions like	Eelco Dolstra
	"--with-freetype2-library=" + freetype + "/lib" can now be written as "--with-freetype2-library=${freetype}/lib" An arbitrary expression can be enclosed within ${...}, not just identifiers. * Escaping in string literals: \n, \r, \t interpreted as in C, any other character following \ is interpreted as-is. * Newlines are now allowed in string literals.
2006-05-01	* Allow string concatenations involving derivations, e.g.,	Eelco Dolstra
	configureFlags = "--with-freetype2-library=" + freetype + "/lib";
2006-04-29	* svn:ignore	Eelco Dolstra

2006-04-25	* Change this to LGPL to keep the government happy.	Eelco Dolstra

2006-04-25	* Install only the header file and libraries from Berkeley DB.	Eelco Dolstra

2006-04-25	* Create libexec.	Eelco Dolstra

2006-04-25	* Typo.	Eelco Dolstra

2006-04-25	* Unless --with-bzip2 is specified, use a copy of bzip2 in the	Eelco Dolstra
	externals directory. This is in particular useful because though most systems have bzip2/bunzip2, they don't always have libbz2, which we need for bsdiff/bspatch.
2006-03-24	* Print a more useful stack trace when an error occurs deep in the	Eelco Dolstra
	derivation dependency graph.
2006-03-23	* In `nix-env', look for derivations inside attribute sets that have	Eelco Dolstra
	the `recurseForDerivations' attribute set to `true'.
2006-03-23	* Hm.	Eelco Dolstra

2006-03-15	* Update copyright.	Eelco Dolstra

2006-03-14	* Allow the resulting symlink of nix-build to be named, e.g.,	Eelco Dolstra
	$ nix-build .../i686-linux.nix -A apacheHttpd -o apache
2006-03-10	* Allow `make check' to work in directories that have symlink	Eelco Dolstra
	components.
2006-03-10	* `nix-env -qa --description' shows human-readable descriptions of	Eelco Dolstra
	packages (provided that they have a `meta.description' attribute). E.g., $ ./src/nix-env/nix-env -qa --description gcc gcc-4.0.2 GNU Compiler Collection, 4.0.x (cross-compiler for sparc-linux) gcc-4.0.2 GNU Compiler Collection, 4.0.x (cross-compiler for mips-linux) gcc-4.0.2 GNU Compiler Collection, 4.0.x (cross-compiler for arm-linux) gcc-4.0.2 GNU Compiler Collection, 4.0.x
2006-03-10	* Oops.	Eelco Dolstra

2006-03-10	* In theory, this should reduce the number of ATermMap	Eelco Dolstra
	re-allocations.
2006-03-10	* `nix-env -q' now accepts arguments that allow specific derivations	Eelco Dolstra
	to be queried, e.g., `nix-env -qa firefox'. This does require the argument '' to be passed if one wants information about all derivations, so the old `nix-env -qa' now is `nix-env -qa ""'.
2006-03-10	* Write messages to stderr, not stdout.	Eelco Dolstra

2006-03-09	* Ugh, printHash() was very inefficient because it used	Eelco Dolstra
	ostringstreams. Around 11% of execution time was spent here (now it's 0.5%).
2006-03-09	* Regression: semantics of the result of getDerivation() changed.	Eelco Dolstra

2006-03-09	* Big speedup (factor > 2.5) in all nix-env operations that do actual	Eelco Dolstra
	instantiation, e.g. "nix-env -i" and "nix-env -qas" (but not "nix-env -qa"). It turns out that many redundant calls to addToStore(path) were made, which reads and hashes the entire path. For instance, the bash bootstrap binary in Nixpkgs would be read and hashed many times. As a result nix-env would spend around 92% of its time in the function sha256_block (according to callgrind). Some simple memoization fixes this.
2006-03-08	* When obtaining derivations from Nix expressions, ignore all	Eelco Dolstra
	expressions that cause an assertion failure (like `assert system == "i686-linux"'). This allows all-packages.nix in Nixpkgs to be used on all platforms, even if some Nix expressions don't work on all platforms. Not sure if this is a good idea; it's a bit hacky. In particular, due to laziness some derivations might appear in `nix-env -qa' but disappear in `nix-env -qas' or `nix-env -i'. Commit 5000!
