2006-09-22* Added a builtin function `isList' to test whether a value is a list.Eelco Dolstra
With this primitive, a list-flattening function can be implemented (NIX-55, example is in tests/lang/eval-okay-flatten.nix).
2006-09-22* Builtin functions `head' and `tail' to return the head and tail ofEelco Dolstra
list. Useful for lots of things, such as implementing a fold function (see NIX-30, example is in tests/lang/eval-okay-list.nix).
2006-09-22* New builtin functions builtins.{hasAttr, getAttr} to check forEelco Dolstra
attribute existence and to return an attribute from an attribute set, respectively. Example: `hasAttr "foo" {foo = 1;}'. They differ from the `?' and `.' operators in that the attribute name is an arbitrary expression. (NIX-61)
2006-09-21* Fix comment.Eelco Dolstra
2006-09-20* Shut up a warning.Eelco Dolstra
2006-09-20* Print a better error message for wrong hashes (NIX-49).Eelco Dolstra
2006-09-11* Support `++'.Eelco Dolstra
* More follow restrictions on layout.
2006-09-05* Sone missing #includes.Eelco Dolstra
2006-09-04* Move setuid stuff to libutil.Eelco Dolstra
* Install libexpr header files.
2006-09-04* Install header files in /nix/include/nix.Eelco Dolstra
2006-09-04* Remove unnecessary inclusions of aterm2.h.Eelco Dolstra
2006-09-04* Compile the lexer as C++ code. Remove all the redundant C/C++Eelco Dolstra
marshalling code.
2006-09-04* Use a proper namespace.Eelco Dolstra
* Optimise header file usage a bit. * Compile the parser as C++.
2006-09-04* Store the Nix libraries in ${libdir}/nix instead of ${libdir}.Eelco Dolstra
2006-09-01* New primop: builtins.toFile, which writes a string into the storeEelco Dolstra
and returns its path. This can be used to (for instance) write builders inside a Nix expression, e.g., stdenv.mkDerivation { builder = " source $stdenv/setup ... "; ... }
2006-09-01* Allow "$" in strings as long as they are not followed by "{". (TooEelco Dolstra
bad flex doesn't have lexical restrictions, the current solution isn't quite right...)
2006-08-30* Okay, that's a bit harder than expected.Eelco Dolstra
2006-08-30* Uninitialised variable.Eelco Dolstra
2006-08-29* Support singleton values and nested lists again in `args', but printEelco Dolstra
a warning.
2006-08-29* Fix the ~ operator.Eelco Dolstra
2006-08-28* In toString, deal with nested lists properly (i.e., flatten them).Eelco Dolstra
2006-08-28* Removed processBinding, instead we now apply toString to allEelco Dolstra
derivation attributes to flatten them into strings. This is possible since string can nowadays be wrapped in contexts that describe the derivations/sources referenced by the evaluation of the string.
2006-08-26* Refactoring.Eelco Dolstra
2006-08-25* Remove those storePath attribute sets, we don't need 'em.Eelco Dolstra
2006-08-24* New primop __toXML (or builtins.toXML) to convert an expression toEelco Dolstra
an XML representation stored in a string. This should be useful to pass structured information to builders.
2006-08-24* Refactoring.Eelco Dolstra
2006-08-24* Strict evaluation and XML printing of lists.Eelco Dolstra
2006-08-24* Refactoring: move strictEval to libexpr.Eelco Dolstra
2006-08-23* Pass the autoArgs to findAlongAttrPath so that "nix-instantiateEelco Dolstra
foo.nix -A attr --arg name value" will work if (name, value) is needed in the evaluation leading up to "attr".
2006-08-23* Quotes.Eelco Dolstra
2006-08-23* New primop: abort "error message".Eelco Dolstra
2006-08-23* A new primop `builtins', which returns an attribute set containingEelco Dolstra
all the primops. This allows Nix expressions to test for new primops and take appropriate action if they're not available. For instance, rather than calling a primop `foo' directly, they could say `if builtins ? foo then builtins.foo ... else ...'.
2006-08-16* Handle carriage returns. Fixes NIX-53.Eelco Dolstra
2006-08-09* Print a warning that the subpath operator (~) is deprecated.Eelco Dolstra
2006-08-04* Fix a few warnings.Eelco Dolstra
2006-07-28* `nix-instantiate ... --arg NAME VALUE': allow arguments to be passedEelco Dolstra
to functions from the command line. * nix-build: started removing backticks.
2006-07-28* `nix-instantiate --print-args': print out the valid values forEelco Dolstra
functions arguments that have a domain.
2006-07-26* Refactoring: get the selection path stuff out of getDerivations()Eelco Dolstra
and put it into a separate function findAlongAttrPath().
2006-07-25* `nix-instantiate --print-args' prints out the arguments of aEelco Dolstra
top-level function.
2006-07-25* Applied rbroek's patch from the branch atEelco Dolstra
https://svn.cs.uu.nl:12443/repos/trace/buildfarm-control/trunk/ext/nix/, with some modifications. This allows `nix-env -qa' to show the attribute path that can be used to unambiguously install a package using `nix-env -i -A'. Example: $ nix-env -f top-level/all-packages.nix -qaA subversion xorg-server subversionWithJava subversion-1.2.3 subversion subversion-1.3.2 subversion14 subversion-1.4.0pre-rc1 xorg.xorgserver xorg-server-1.1.0
2006-07-24* When there is a domain check, we have to evaluate the argument.Eelco Dolstra
Can't be lazy!
2006-07-24* New language feature: domain checks, which check whether a functionEelco Dolstra
argument has a valid value, i.e., is in a certain domain. E.g., { foo : [true false] , bar : ["a" "b" "c"] }: ... This previously could be done using assertions, but domain checks will allow the buildfarm to automatically extract the configuration space from functions.
2006-07-24* Refactoring to support domain checks.Eelco Dolstra
2006-07-19* Better error messages (especially wrt types).Eelco Dolstra
2006-07-11* Doh! Of couse we cannot memoize across scopes.Eelco Dolstra
2006-05-30* Don't use badTerm, it gives awful error messages.Eelco Dolstra
2006-05-12* Support for srcdir != builddir (NIX-41).Eelco Dolstra
2006-05-11* 64-bit compatibility fixes (for problems revealed by building on an AthlonEelco Dolstra
64 running 64-bit SUSE). A patched ATerm library is required to run Nix succesfully.
2006-05-08* Allow function argument default values to refer to other argumentsEelco Dolstra
of the function. Implements NIX-45.
2006-05-08* Show evaluation stats when NIX_SHOW_STATS=1.Eelco Dolstra
