2012-11-09	Manual: Don't use a store path in our closure	Eelco Dolstra
	http://hydra.nixos.org/build/3313227
2012-11-09	Use a shorter Nixpkgs channel URL	Eelco Dolstra

2012-11-09	Update release notes	Eelco Dolstra

2012-11-06	Process binary caches in order of priority	Eelco Dolstra
	Binary caches can now specify a priority in their nix-cache-info file. The binary cache substituter checks caches in order of priority. This is to ensure that fast, static caches like nixos.org/binary-cache are processed before slow, dynamic caches like hydra.nixos.org.
2012-11-06	Update nix-push manpage and document the binary cache format	Eelco Dolstra

2012-11-06	Add an option ‘use-binary-caches’	Eelco Dolstra
	This allows disabling the use of binary caches, e.g. $ nix-build ... --option use-binary-caches false Note that $ nix-build ... --option binary-caches '' does not disable all binary caches, since the caches defined by channels will still be used.
2012-10-23	nix-prefetch-url: Improve option handling	Eelco Dolstra

2012-10-12	Typo	Eelco Dolstra
	Reported by Shea.
2012-10-04	Manual: Don't use a store path that actually exists	Eelco Dolstra
	http://hydra.nixos.org/build/3124130
2012-10-03	Rename nix-worker to nix-daemon	Eelco Dolstra

2012-10-03	Drop support for running nix-worker in "slave" mode	Eelco Dolstra
	AFAIK nobody uses this, setuid binaries are evil, and there is no good reason why people can't just run the daemon.
2012-10-03	Document ‘--repair’	Eelco Dolstra

2012-10-02	nix-store --verify: Add an option ‘--repair’ to repair all ↵	Eelco Dolstra
	missing/corrupt paths Also, return a non-zero exit code if errors remain after verifying/repairing.
2012-10-02	Add operation ‘nix-store --repair-path’	Eelco Dolstra
	This operation allows fixing corrupted or accidentally deleted store paths by redownloading them using substituters, if available. Since the corrupted path cannot be replaced atomically, there is a very small time window (one system call) during which neither the old (corrupted) nor the new (repaired) contents are available. So repairing should be used with some care on critical packages like Glibc.
2012-09-27	Allow dashes in identifiers	Eelco Dolstra
	In Nixpkgs, the attribute in all-packages.nix corresponding to a package is usually equal to the package name. However, this doesn't work if the package contains a dash, which is fairly common. The convention is to replace the dash with an underscore (e.g. "dbus-lib" becomes "dbus_glib"), but that's annoying. So now dashes are valid in variable / attribute names, allowing you to write: dbus-glib = callPackage ../development/libraries/dbus-glib { }; and buildInputs = [ dbus-glib ]; Since we don't have a negation or subtraction operation in Nix, this is unambiguous.

2012-08-01	nix-channel: Use binary caches advertised by channels	Eelco Dolstra
	Channels can now advertise a binary cache by creating a file <channel-url>/binary-cache-url. The channel unpacker puts these in its "binary-caches" subdirectory. Thus, the URLS of the binary caches for the channels added by root appear in /nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/eelco/channels/binary-caches/*. The binary cache substituter reads these and adds them to the list of binary caches.
2012-07-31	Allow daemon users to override ‘binary-caches’	Eelco Dolstra
	For security reasons, daemon users can only specify caches that appear in the ‘binary-caches’ and ‘trusted-binary-caches’ options in nix.conf.
2012-07-31	Add an option ‘build-fallback’ (equivalent to the --fallback flag)	Eelco Dolstra
