2012-03-05	Fix compilation on FreeBSD	Eelco Dolstra
	http://hydra.nixos.org/build/2213576 Not sure why compilation doesn't fail on other platforms...
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.
2010-06-10	* builtins.toXML: propagate the string context. This is a regression	Eelco Dolstra
	from the old ATerm-based evaluator.

2010-05-07	* Sync with the trunk.	Eelco Dolstra

2010-05-07	* Keep track of the source positions of attributes.	Eelco Dolstra

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	* expr-to-xml -> value-to-xml.	Eelco Dolstra
