2020-02-15doc: mention how to turn on pure evaluation mode in manualBenjamin Hipple
The flag is `--pure-eval`, which can be found by looking at the test suite; it should be in the notes describing the feature as well, since otherwise users may assume this is referencing something like `nix-shell --pure`.
2020-01-14doc: touchup release notes for 2.3Benjamin Hipple
- At the top of the release notes, we announce sandboxing is now enabled by default, then at the bottom it says it's now disabled when missing kernel support. These can be merged into one point for clarity. - The point about `max-jobs` defaulting to 1 appears unrelated to sandboxing.

2018-02-22Enable sandbox builds on Linux by defaultEelco Dolstra
The overhead of sandbox builds is a problem on NixOS (since building a NixOS configuration involves a lot of small derivations) but not for typical non-NixOS use cases. So outside of NixOS we can enable it. Issue #179.

2018-02-08Add plugins to make Nix more extensible.Shea Levy
All plugins in plugin-files will be dlopened, allowing them to statically construct instances of the various Register* types Nix supports.
2018-02-03Remove nix-build --hashEelco Dolstra
Instead, if a fixed-output derivation produces has an incorrect output hash, we now unconditionally move the outputs to the path corresponding with the actual hash and register it as valid. Thus, after correcting the hash in the Nix expression (e.g. in a fetchurl call), the fixed-output derivation doesn't have to be built again. It would still be good to have a command for reporting the actual hash of a fixed-output derivation (instead of throwing an error), but "nix-build --hash" didn't do that.
2018-01-31Rename 1.12 -> 2.0Eelco Dolstra
Following discussion with Shea and Graham. It's a big enough change from the last release. Also, from a semver perspective, 2.0 makes more sense because we did remove some interfaces (like nix-pull/nix-push).
2018-01-31Add 'nix upgrade-nix' commandEelco Dolstra
This command upgrades Nix to the latest stable version by installing a store path obtained from https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/raw/master/nixos/modules/installer/tools/nix-fallback-paths.nix which is the same store path that the installer at https://nixos.org/nix/install.sh uses. The upgrade fails if Nix is not installed in a profile (e.g. on NixOS, or when installed outside of the Nix store).
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.)
