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

2012-07-23	Automatically optimise the Nix store when a new path is added	Eelco Dolstra

2012-05-07	nix-channel --update: allow updating only the specified channels	Eelco Dolstra

2012-04-30	* Add an option ‘build-use-substitutes’, which can be set to ‘false’	Eelco Dolstra
	to disable use of substitutes; i.e., force building from source. Fixes Nix/221.
2012-04-30	Support mandatory system features in the build hook	Eelco Dolstra
	Mandatory features are features that MUST be present in a derivation's requiredSystemFeatures attribute. One application is performance testing, where we have a dedicated machine to run performance tests (and nothing else). Then we would add the label "perf" to the machine's mandatory features and to the performance testing derivations.
2012-04-30	Update the documentation of build-remote.pl	Eelco Dolstra

2012-04-17	nix-instantiate: default to "default.nix" if no arguments are given	Eelco Dolstra

2012-04-17	Added utility command ‘nix-instantiate --find-file’ to look up a file in ↵	Eelco Dolstra
	Nix's search path
2012-04-14	nix-channel improvements	Eelco Dolstra
	"nix-channel --add" now accepts a second argument: the channel name. This allows channels to have a nicer name than (say) nixpkgs_unstable. If no name is given, it defaults to the last component of the URL (with "-unstable" or "-stable" removed). Also, channels are now stored in a profile (/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/$USER/channels). One advantage of this is that it allows rollbacks (e.g. if "nix-channel --update" gives an undesirable update).
2012-04-13	Add the '--show-progress' flag to nix-copy-closure	Shea Levy

2012-04-08	Nix is on github now	Shea Levy

2012-04-06	Fix building from the tarball	Eelco Dolstra

2012-04-06	Documentation fix	Eelco Dolstra

2012-04-06	Include environment variables in the manpages	Eelco Dolstra

2012-04-06	Include common options in the manpages using some XInclude hackery	Eelco Dolstra

2012-04-06	Update affiliation	Eelco Dolstra

2012-04-06	Add a missing DocBook source file to the tarball	Eelco Dolstra
	Reported on IRC by Adrian Siekierka.
2012-03-26	Remove the --max-links GC option	Eelco Dolstra
	We don't need this anymore now that current filesystems support more than 32,000 files in a directory.
2012-03-18	Drop the externals directory	Eelco Dolstra
	Nix now requires SQLite and bzip2 to be pre-installed. SQLite is detected using pkg-config. We required DBD::SQLite anyway, so depending on SQLite is not a big problem. The --with-bzip2, --with-openssl and --with-sqlite flags are gone.
2012-01-17	* Added a command ‘nix-store --print-env $drvpath’ that prints out the	Eelco Dolstra
	environment of the given derivation in a format that can be sourced by the shell, e.g. $ eval "$(nix-store --print-env $(nix-instantiate /etc/nixos/nixpkgs -A pkg))" $ NIX_BUILD_TOP=/tmp $ source $stdenv/setup This is especially useful to reproduce the environment used to build a package outside of its builder for development purposes. TODO: add a nix-build option to do the above and fetch the dependencies of the derivation as well.
2012-01-13	* nix-build: put the temporary derivation symlink in a temporary	Eelco Dolstra
	directory rather than the current directory. * nix-build: --drv-link now implies --add-drv-link.
