2019-03-14	experimental/optional -> optional	Eelco Dolstra

2017-11-24	nix-shell/nix-build: Support .drv files again	Eelco Dolstra
	Fixes #1663. Also handle '!<output-name>' (#1694).
2017-07-30	Replace Unicode quotes in user-facing strings by ASCII	Jörg Thalheim
	Relevant RFC: NixOS/rfcs#4 $ ag -l \| xargs sed -i -e "/\"/s/’/'/g;/\"/s/‘/'/g"
2017-07-20	nix-shell: Use bashInteractive from <nixpkgs>	Eelco Dolstra
	This adds about 0.1s to nix-shell runtime in the case where bashInteractive already exists. See discussion at https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/27493.
2017-07-20	Add "nix search" command	Eelco Dolstra

2017-05-16	Improve progress indicator	Eelco Dolstra

2017-04-19	getDerivations(): Filter out packages with bad derivation names	Eelco Dolstra
	In particular, this disallows attribute names containing dots or starting with dots. Hydra already disallowed these. This affects the following packages in Nixpkgs master: 2048-in-terminal 2bwm 389-ds-base 90secondportraits lispPackages.3bmd lispPackages.hu.dwim.asdf lispPackages.hu.dwim.def Closes #1342.
2017-01-26	Bindings: Add a method for iterating in lexicographically sorted order	Eelco Dolstra

2016-11-26	Revert "Get rid of unicode quotes (#1140)"	Eelco Dolstra
	This reverts commit f78126bfd6b6c8477fcdbc09b2f98772dbe9a1e7. There really is no need for such a massive change...
2016-11-25	Get rid of unicode quotes (#1140)	Guillaume Maudoux

2016-08-29	forceBool(): Show position info	Eelco Dolstra

2016-04-25	Improved logging abstraction	Eelco Dolstra
	This also gets rid of --log-type, since the nested log type isn't useful in a multi-threaded situation, and nobody cares about the "pretty" log type.
2016-02-23	nix-env: respect meta.outputsToInstall	Vladimír Čunát
	Discussed on https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/12653#discussion_r51601849
2016-01-05	First hit at providing support for floats in the language.	Christian Theune

2015-07-23	Optimize small lists	Eelco Dolstra
	The value pointers of lists with 1 or 2 elements are now stored in the list value itself. In particular, this makes the "concatMap (x: if cond then [(f x)] else [])" idiom cheaper.
2015-07-17	OCD: foreach -> C++11 ranged for	Eelco Dolstra

2014-09-19	Store Attrs inside Bindings	Eelco Dolstra
	This prevents a double allocation per attribute set.
2014-08-20	Use proper quotes everywhere	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

2013-11-19	Check meta values and warn about bad ones	Eelco Dolstra

2013-11-19	Generalise meta attributes	Eelco Dolstra

2013-10-24	Rename "attribute sets" to "sets"	Eelco Dolstra
	We don't have any other kind of sets so calling them attribute sets is unnecessarily verbose.
2012-11-28	nix-env -q --out-path: Support multiple outputs	Eelco Dolstra
	We now print all output paths of a package, e.g. openssl-1.0.0i bin=/nix/store/gq2mvh0wb9l90djvsagln3aqywqmr6vl-openssl-1.0.0i-bin;man=/nix/store/7zwf5r5hsdarl3n86dasvb4chm2xzw9n-openssl-1.0.0i-man;/nix/store/cj7xvk7fjp9q887359j75pw3pzjfmqf1-openssl-1.0.0i or (in XML mode) <item attrPath="openssl" name="openssl-1.0.0i" system="x86_64-linux"> <output name="bin" path="/nix/store/gq2mvh0wb9l90djvsagln3aqywqmr6vl-openssl-1.0.0i-bin" /> <output name="man" path="/nix/store/7zwf5r5hsdarl3n86dasvb4chm2xzw9n-openssl-1.0.0i-man" /> <output name="out" path="/nix/store/cj7xvk7fjp9q887359j75pw3pzjfmqf1-openssl-1.0.0i" /> </item>
2012-11-26	nix-instantiate: Fix read-only evaluation	Eelco Dolstra

2012-10-04	getDerivation(): Don't always quietly ignore assertion failure	Eelco Dolstra
	Ignoring assertion failures makes some sense for nix-env -qa, but not for nix-instantiate/nix-build or hydra-eval-jobs.
2012-02-04	* Inline some functions and get rid of the indirection through	Eelco Dolstra
	EvalState::eval(). This gives a 12% speedup on ‘nix-instantiate /etc/nixos/nixos/ -A system --readonly-mode’ (from 1.01s to 0.89s).
2010-10-24	* Keep attribute sets in sorted order to speed up attribute lookups.	Eelco Dolstra
	* Simplify the representation of attributes in the AST. * Change the behaviour of listToAttrs() in case of duplicate names.
2010-10-24	* Store attribute sets as a vector instead of a map (i.e. a red-black	Eelco Dolstra
	tree). This saves a lot of memory. The vector should be sorted so that names can be looked up using binary search, but this is not the case yet. (Surprisingly, looking up attributes using linear search doesn't have a big impact on performance.) Memory consumption for $ nix-instantiate /etc/nixos/nixos/tests -A bittorrent.test --readonly-mode on x86_64-linux with GC enabled is now 185 MiB (compared to 946 MiB on the trunk).
2010-10-22	* Store Value nodes outside of attribute sets. I.e., Attr now stores	Eelco Dolstra
	a pointer to a Value, rather than the Value directly. This improves the effectiveness of garbage collection a lot: if the Value is stored inside the set directly, then any live pointer to the Value causes all other attributes in the set to be live as well.
2010-05-07	* Keep track of the source positions of attributes.	Eelco Dolstra

2010-04-21	* Store user environment manifests as a Nix expression in	Eelco Dolstra
	$out/manifest.nix rather than as an ATerm. (Hm, I thought I committed this two days ago...)
2010-04-19	* Added parsing of manifests in ATerm format.	Eelco Dolstra

2010-04-16	* In an nested `with' where the inner with is a variable (`with ...;	Eelco Dolstra
	with someVar; ...'), the contents of the variable would be clobbered. (The attributes in the outer `with' were added to the variable.)
2010-04-15	* Store lists as lists of pointers to values rather than as lists of	Eelco Dolstra
	values. This improves sharing and gives another speed up. Evaluation of the NixOS system attribute is now almost 7 times faster than the old evaluator.
2010-04-13	* Use a symbol table to represent identifiers and attribute names	Eelco Dolstra
	efficiently. The symbol table ensures that there is only one copy of each symbol, thus allowing symbols to be compared efficiently using a pointer equality test.
2010-04-12	* Don't use ATerms for the abstract syntax trees anymore. Not	Eelco Dolstra
	finished yet.
2010-04-07	* Update autoCallFunction() and findAlongAttrPath().	Eelco Dolstra

2010-04-07	* Implemented the primops necessary for generating the NixOS manual.	Eelco Dolstra

2010-04-01	* Improve sharing.	Eelco Dolstra

2010-03-31	* Get nix-env to compile.	Eelco Dolstra

2010-03-31	* Implemented derivations.	Eelco Dolstra

2010-03-29	* Started integrating the new evaluator.	Eelco Dolstra

2009-06-30	* Support integers and lists of strings in meta fields. This is	Eelco Dolstra
	useful for fields like meta.maintainers, meta.priority (which can be a proper integer now) and even meta.license (if there are multiple licenses).
2008-08-25	* Evaluate attributes in sorted order for better determinism.	Eelco Dolstra

2008-08-25	* Minor simplification.	Eelco Dolstra

2007-09-17	* nix-env: allow ~/.nix-defexpr to be a directory. If it is, then the	Eelco Dolstra
	Nix expressions in that directory are combined into an attribute set {file1 = import file1; file2 = import file2; ...}, i.e. each Nix expression is an attribute with the file name as the attribute name. Also recurses into directories. * nix-env: removed the "--import" (-I) option which set the ~/.nix-defexpr symlink. * nix-channel: don't use "nix-env --import", instead symlink ~/.nix-defexpr/channels. So finally nix-channel --update doesn't override any default Nix expressions but combines with them. This means that you can have (say) a local Nixpkgs SVN tree and use it as a default for nix-env: $ ln -s .../path-to-nixpkgs-tree ~/.nix-defexpr/nixpkgs_svn and be subscribed to channels (including Nixpkgs) at the same time. (If there is any ambiguity, the -A flag can be used to disambiguate, e.g. "nix-env -i -A nixpkgs_svn.pan".)
2007-05-01	* Give unpacked channels more sensible names than 0, 1, ... They now	Eelco Dolstra
	get the basename of the channel URL (e.g., nixpkgs-unstable). The top-level Nix expression of the channel is now an attribute set, the attributes of which are the individual channels (e.g., {nixpkgs_unstable = ...; strategoxt_unstable = ...}). This makes attribute paths ("nix-env -qaA" and "nix-env -iA") more sensible, e.g., "nix-env -iA nixpkgs_unstable.subversion".
