2015-05-22	Fix import-from-derivation in restricted eval mode	Eelco Dolstra
	This relaxes restricted mode to allow access to anything in the store. In the future, it would be better to allow access to only paths that have been constructed in the current evaluation (so a hard-coded /nix/store/blabla in a Nix expression would still be rejected). However, note that reading /nix/store itself is still rejected, so you can't use this so get access to things you don't know about.
2015-04-16	Fix using restricted mode with chroots	Eelco Dolstra

2015-03-25	addToStore(): Take explicit name argument	Eelco Dolstra

2015-03-19	Disable scanning for interior pointers	Eelco Dolstra
	This may remove the "Repeated allocation of very large block" warnings.
2015-03-19	Fix Boehm API violation	Eelco Dolstra
	We were calling GC_INIT() after doing an allocation (in the baseEnv construction), which is not allowed.
2015-03-19	Check return values from malloc/strdup	Eelco Dolstra

2015-03-18	Print some Boehm GC stats	Eelco Dolstra

2015-03-18	valueSize(): Take into account list/bindings/env size	Eelco Dolstra

2015-03-06	forceValueDeep: Add to error prefix	Eelco Dolstra

2015-03-06	Improve error message	Eelco Dolstra

2015-02-23	Add restricted evaluation mode	Eelco Dolstra
	If ‘--option restrict-eval true’ is given, the evaluator will throw an exception if an attempt is made to access any file outside of the Nix search path. This is primarily intended for Hydra, where we don't want people doing ‘builtins.readFile ~/.ssh/id_dsa’ or stuff like that.
2015-02-19	ExprConcatStrings: canonicalize concatenated paths	Shea Levy

2014-12-12	Remove canary stuff	Eelco Dolstra

2014-12-02	Make all ExternalValueBase functions const	Shea Levy

2014-12-02	Allow external code using libnixexpr to add types	Shea Levy
	Code that links to libnixexpr (e.g. plugins loaded with importNative, or nix-exec) may want to provide custom value types and operations on values of those types. For example, nix-exec is currently using sets where a custom IO value type would be more appropriate. This commit provides a generic hook for such types in the form of tExternal and the ExternalBase virtual class, which contains all functions necessary for libnixexpr's type-polymorphic functions (e.g. `showType`) to be implemented.
2014-11-25	forceString(): Accept pos argument	Eelco Dolstra

2014-11-15	Add functors (callable attribute sets).	Shea Levy
	With this, attribute sets with a `__functor` attribute can be applied just like normal functions. This can be used to attach arbitrary metadata to a function without callers needing to treat it specially.
2014-10-31	Fix more warnings	Eelco Dolstra

2014-10-09	mkList: Scrub better	Eelco Dolstra
	Clearing v.app.right was not enough, because the length field of a list only takes 32 bits, so the most significant 32 bits of v.app.left (a.k.a. v.thunk.env) would remain. This could cause Boehm GC to interpret it as a valid pointer. This change reduces maximum RSS for evaluating the ‘tested’ job in nixos/release-small.nix from 1.33 GiB to 0.80 GiB, and runtime by about 8%.
2014-10-05	Get rid of some unnecessary ExprConcatStrings nodes in dynamic attrs	Eelco Dolstra
	This gives a ~18% speedup in NixOS evaluation (after converting most calls to hasAttr/getAttr to dynamic attrs).
2014-10-05	Show total allocations	Eelco Dolstra

2014-10-01	printValue(): Don't print <CYCLE> for repeated values	Eelco Dolstra

2014-09-22	Make forceValueDeep work on values with cycles	Eelco Dolstra

2014-09-22	Rename strictForceValue -> forceValueDeep	Eelco Dolstra

2014-09-22	Handle cycles when printing a value	Eelco Dolstra
	So this no longer crashes with a stack overflow: nix-instantiate -E --eval 'let as = { x = as; }; in as' Instead it prints: { x = { x = <CYCLE>; }; }
2014-09-22	Add a function ‘valueSize’	Eelco Dolstra
	It returns the size of value, including all other values and environments reachable from it. It is intended for debugging memory consumption issues.
2014-09-19	Inline Bindings::find()	Eelco Dolstra

2014-09-19	Store Attrs inside Bindings	Eelco Dolstra
	This prevents a double allocation per attribute set.
2014-09-17	Add some instrumentation for debugging GC leaks	Eelco Dolstra

2014-09-02	Fix boost::too_many_args error	Eelco Dolstra
	Fixes #333.
2014-08-20	Use proper quotes everywhere	Eelco Dolstra

2014-08-13	Fix warning about non-existant -I directories	Eelco Dolstra

2014-06-10	== operator: Ignore string context	Eelco Dolstra
	There really is no case I can think of where taking the context into account is useful. Mostly it's just very inconvenient.
2014-05-26	Remove ExprBuiltin	Eelco Dolstra
	It's slower than ExprVar since it doesn't compute a static displacement. Since we're not using the throw primop in the implementation of <...> anymore, it's also not really needed.
2014-05-26	Ensure that -I flags get included in nixPath	Eelco Dolstra
	Also fixes #261.
2014-05-15	Provide a more useful error message when a dynamic attr lookup fails	Shea Levy

2014-04-04	Show position info in attribute selection errors	Eelco Dolstra

2014-04-04	Show position info in Boolean operations	Eelco Dolstra

2014-04-04	Show position info in string concatenation / addition errors	Eelco Dolstra

2014-04-04	forceString: Show position info	Eelco Dolstra

2014-04-04	forceAttrs: Show position info	Eelco Dolstra

2014-04-04	forceList: Show position info	Eelco Dolstra

2014-04-04	forceInt: Show position info	Eelco Dolstra

2014-04-04	Pass position information to primop calls	Eelco Dolstra
	For example: error: `tail' called on an empty list, at /home/eelco/Dev/nixpkgs/pkgs/applications/misc/hello/ex-2/default.nix:13:7
2014-04-04	Include position info in function application	Eelco Dolstra
	This allows error messages like: error: the anonymous function at `/etc/nixos/configuration.nix:1:1' called without required argument `foo', at `/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/root/channels/nixos/nixpkgs/lib/modules.nix:77:59'
2014-03-30	boost::shared_ptr -> std::shared_ptr	Eelco Dolstra

2014-03-10	The expr of AttrNames/DynamicAttrDefs is always an ExprConcatStrings	Shea Levy

2014-03-10	If a dynamic attribute name evaluates to null, remove it from the set	Shea Levy

2014-03-05	Revert "Make ifs and asserts tail-recursive"	Eelco Dolstra
	This reverts commit 273322c7732093a354e86df82cf75d6604b8bce8.
2014-02-27	Correctly detect infinite recursion in function application	Eelco Dolstra
	If we're evaluating some application ‘v = f x’, we can't store ‘f’ temporarily in ‘v’, because if ‘f x’ refers to ‘v’, it will get ‘f’ rather than an infinite recursion error. Unfortunately, this breaks the tail call optimisation introduced in c897bac54954373f63511702731fe2cb23c0c98e. Fixes #217.
