2017-11-03Remove git:// support in NIX_PATHEelco Dolstra
This didn't support specifying a revision/branch, and was restricted to git:// URIs (since https:// or ssh:// would be ambiguous).
2017-10-30Add option allowed-urisEelco Dolstra
This allows network access in restricted eval mode.
2017-10-30fetchurl/fetchTarball are *not* allowed in restricted modeEelco Dolstra
Accidentally committed this change as part of f9686885be54a9b0f8947713a414de4ad3182037. Restricted mode != pure mode.
2017-10-30fetchgit -> fetchGitEelco Dolstra
Almost all other primops are camelCase so no reason not to use that here.

2017-09-05Add automatic garbage collectionEelco Dolstra
Nix can now automatically run the garbage collector during builds or while adding paths to the store. The option "min-free = <bytes>" specifies that Nix should run the garbage collector whenever free space in the Nix store drops below <bytes>. It will then delete garbage until "max-free" bytes are available. Garbage collection during builds is asynchronous; running builds are not paused and new builds are not blocked. However, there also is a synchronous GC run prior to the first build/substitution. Currently, no old GC roots are deleted (as in "nix-collect-garbage -d").
2017-08-19Remove nix-mode.el from Nix.Matthew Bauer
This removes the file nix-mode.el from Nix. The file is now available within the repository https://github.com/NixOS/nix-mode. Fixes #662 Fixes #1040 Fixes #1054 Fixes #1055 Closes #1119 Fixes #1419 NOTE: all of the above should be fixed within NixOS/nix-mode. If one of those hasn’t please reopen within NixOS/nix-mode and not within NixOS/nix.

2017-04-12Move note about float support out of the wrong release notesBenjamin Staffin
Looks like this snuck into the 1.11 release notes post-release, but float support isn't actually present until 1.12.
2017-02-27Fix 1.8 release note about build-max-jobsEelco Dolstra
We set build-cores automatically, not build-max-jobs. (The commit message for de4cdd0d47adc70a4db12397a42c18ee50b4e662 also got this wrong.)

2015-11-10rename `chroot` to `sandbox` (fixes #656, close #682)Vladimír Čunát
- rename options but leav old names as lower-priority aliases, also "-dirs" -> "-paths" to get closer to the meaning - update docs to reflect the new names (old aliases are not documented), including a new file with release notes - tests need an update after corresponding changes to nixpkgs - __noChroot is left as it is (after discussion on the PR)
