2015-05-06	nix-env/nix-instantiate/nix-build: Support URIs	Eelco Dolstra
	For instance, you can install Firefox from a specific Nixpkgs revision like this: $ nix-env -f https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/archive/63def04891a0abc328b1b0b3a78ec02c58f48583.tar.gz -iA firefox Or build a package from the latest nixpkgs-unstable channel: $ nix-build https://nixos.org/channels/nixpkgs-unstable/nixexprs.tar.xz -A hello
2015-05-05	Allow URLs in the Nix search path	Eelco Dolstra
	E.g. to install "hello" from the latest Nixpkgs: $ nix-build '<nixpkgs>' -A hello -I nixpkgs=https://nixos.org/channels/nixpkgs-unstable/nixexprs.tar.xz Or to install a specific version of NixOS: $ nixos-rebuild switch -I nixpkgs=https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/archive/63def04891a0abc328b1b0b3a78ec02c58f48583.tar.gz
2015-05-05	Make downloads interruptable	Eelco Dolstra

2015-04-16	Fix using restricted mode with chroots	Eelco Dolstra

2015-04-09	Use cached result if there is a network error	Eelco Dolstra

2015-04-09	Move curl stuff into a separate file	Eelco Dolstra

2015-04-09	Implement a TTL on cached fetchurl/fetchTarball results	Eelco Dolstra
	This is because we don't want to do HTTP requests on every evaluation, even though we can prevent a full redownload via the cached ETag. The default is one hour.
2015-04-09	Implement caching of fetchurl/fetchTarball results	Eelco Dolstra
	ETags are used to prevent redownloading unchanged files.
2015-03-25	Add fetchTarball builtin	Eelco Dolstra
	This function downloads and unpacks the given URL at evaluation time. This is primarily intended to make it easier to deal with Nix expressions that have external dependencies. For instance, to fetch Nixpkgs 14.12: with import (fetchTarball https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels/archive/nixos-14.12.tar.gz) {}; Or to fetch a specific revision: with import (fetchTarball https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/archive/2766a4b44ee6eafae03a042801270c7f6b8ed32a.tar.gz) {}; This patch also adds a ‘fetchurl’ builtin that downloads but doesn't unpack its argument. Not sure if it's useful though.
2015-03-25	addToStore(): Take explicit name argument	Eelco Dolstra

2015-03-24	Don't rely on __noChroot for corepkgs	Eelco Dolstra
	This doesn't work anymore if the "strict" chroot mode is enabled. Instead, add Nix's store path as a dependency. This ensures that its closure is present in the chroot.
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	Fix typos: s/the the/the/	Daniel Hahler

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	Merge branch 'tilde-paths' of https://github.com/shlevy/nix	Eelco Dolstra

2015-02-19	tilde paths: The rest of the string has to start with a slash anyway	Shea Levy

2015-02-19	tilde paths: construct the entire path at parse time	Shea Levy

2015-02-19	tilde paths: get HOME at parse time	Shea Levy

2015-02-19	Remove obsolete reference to ~ operator	Eelco Dolstra

2015-02-19	ExprConcatStrings: canonicalize concatenated paths	Shea Levy

2015-02-19	Allow the leading component of a path to be a ~	Shea Levy

2015-02-05	Remove tab	Eelco Dolstra

2015-01-29	Merge remote-tracking branch 'shlevy/baseNameOf-no-copy'	Shea Levy
	baseNameOf: Don't copy paths to the store first
2015-01-15	Fix assertion failure in nix-env	Eelco Dolstra
	$ nix-env -f ~/Dev/nixops/ -iA foo nix-env: src/libexpr/eval.hh:57: void nix::Bindings::push_back(const nix::Attr&): Assertion `size_ < capacity' failed. Aborted
2015-01-09	Fix builtins.readDir on XFS	Eelco Dolstra
	The DT_UNKNOWN fallback code was getting the type of the wrong path, causing readDir to report "directory" as the type of every file. Reported by deepfire on IRC.
2015-01-07	Show position info for failing <...> lookups	Eelco Dolstra

2015-01-07	Remove quotes around filenames in position info	Eelco Dolstra

2014-12-14	Pedantry	Eelco Dolstra

2014-12-12	Remove canary stuff	Eelco Dolstra

2014-12-10	builtins.readFile: realise context associated with the path	Shea Levy

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	Add a primop for regular expression pattern matching	Eelco Dolstra
	The function ‘builtins.match’ takes a POSIX extended regular expression and an arbitrary string. It returns ‘null’ if the string does not match the regular expression. Otherwise, it returns a list containing substring matches corresponding to parenthesis groups in the regex. The regex must match the entire string (i.e. there is an implied "^<pat>$" around the regex). For example: match "foo" "foobar" => null match "foo" "foo" => [] match "f(o+)(.)" "foooobar" => ["oooo" "bar"] match "(./)?([^/])" "/dir/file.nix" => ["/dir/" "file.nix"] match "(./)?([^/])" "file.nix" => [null "file.nix"] The following example finds all regular files with extension .nix or .patch underneath the current directory: let findFiles = pat: dir: concatLists (mapAttrsToList (name: type: if type == "directory" then findFiles pat (dir + "/" + name) else if type == "regular" && match pat name != null then [(dir + "/" + name)] else []) (readDir dir)); in findFiles ".\\.(nix\|patch)" (toString ./.)
2014-11-25	forceString(): Accept pos argument	Eelco Dolstra

2014-11-20	import derivation: cleanup	Shea Levy
	Before this there was a bug where a `find` was being called on a not-yet-sorted set. The code was just a mess before anyway, so I cleaned it up while fixing it.
2014-11-15	realiseContext: Handle all context types	Shea Levy
	Avoids an assertion
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

2014-10-20	Fix build on gcc < 4.7	Shea Levy

2014-10-20	Improve printing of ASTs	Eelco Dolstra

2014-10-18	baseNameOf: Don't copy paths to the store first	Shea Levy

2014-10-17	Export realiseContext in libnixexpr	Shea Levy
	Useful for importNative plugins
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%.
2014-10-09	Typo	Eelco Dolstra
