2017-02-16	Support netrc in <nix/fetchurl.nix>	Eelco Dolstra
	This allows <nix/fetchurl.nix> to fetch private Git/Mercurial repositories, e.g. import <nix/fetchurl.nix> { url = https://edolstra@bitbucket.org/edolstra/my-private-repo/get/80a14018daed.tar.bz2; sha256 = "1mgqzn7biqkq3hf2697b0jc4wabkqhmzq2srdymjfa6sb9zb6qs7"; } where /etc/nix/netrc contains: machine bitbucket.org login edolstra password blabla... This works even when sandboxing is enabled. To do: add unpacking support (i.e. fetchzip functionality).
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

2016-09-14	Enable HTTP/2 support	Eelco Dolstra
	The binary cache store can now use HTTP/2 to do lookups. This is much more efficient than HTTP/1.1 due to multiplexing: we can issue many requests in parallel over a single TCP connection. Thus it's no longer necessary to use a bunch of concurrent TCP connections (25 by default). For example, downloading 802 .narinfo files from https://cache.nixos.org/, using a single TCP connection, takes 11.8s with HTTP/1.1, but only 0.61s with HTTP/2. This did require a fairly substantial rewrite of the Downloader class to use the curl multi interface, because otherwise curl wouldn't be able to do multiplexing for us. As a bonus, we get connection reuse even with HTTP/1.1. All downloads are now handled by a single worker thread. Clients call Downloader::enqueueDownload() to tell the worker thread to start the download, getting a std::future to the result.
2016-06-01	<nix/fetchurl.nix>: Use tarballs.nixos.org	Eelco Dolstra
	This ensures that the disappearance of upstream bootstrap tarballs (e.g. https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels/pull/1) doesn't break stdenv rebuilds.
2016-06-01	Typo	Eelco Dolstra

2016-06-01	Make the store directory a member variable of Store	Eelco Dolstra

2016-05-04	Add a Store::addToStore() variant that accepts a NAR	Eelco Dolstra
	As a side effect, this ensures that signatures are propagated when copying paths between stores. Also refactored import/export to make use of this.
2016-04-29	BinaryCacheStore: Support "none" compression method	Eelco Dolstra

2016-04-15	BinaryCacheStore::readFile(): Return a shared_ptr to a string	Eelco Dolstra
	This allows readFile() to indicate that a file doesn't exist, and might eliminate some large string copying.
2016-02-29	Add an HTTP binary cache store	Eelco Dolstra
	Allowing stuff like NIX_REMOTE=https://cache.nixos.org nix-store -qR /nix/store/x1p1gl3a4kkz5ci0nfbayjqlqmczp1kq-geeqie-1.1 or NIX_REMOTE=https://cache.nixos.org nix-store --export /nix/store/x1p1gl3a4kkz5ci0nfbayjqlqmczp1kq-geeqie-1.1 \| nix-store --import
2015-10-30	<nix/fetchurl.nix>: Support xz-compressed NARs	Eelco Dolstra

2015-10-30	<nix/fetchurl.nix>: Support downloading and unpacking NARs	Eelco Dolstra
	This removes the need to have multiple downloads in the stdenv bootstrap process (like a separate busybox binary for Linux, or curl/mkdir/sh/bzip2 for Darwin). Now all those files can be combined into a single NAR.
2015-10-21	Show progress indicator for builtin fetchurl	Eelco Dolstra

2015-10-21	Disable TLS verification for builtin fetchurl	Eelco Dolstra
	This makes it consistent with the Nixpkgs fetchurl and makes it work in chroots. We don't need verification because the hash of the result is checked anyway.
2015-07-23	Fix fetchurl of executable file	Eelco Dolstra
	Pointed out by @cstrahan, thanks!
2015-07-20	Make <nix/fetchurl.nix> a builtin builder	Eelco Dolstra
	This ensures that 1) the derivation doesn't change when Nix changes; 2) the derivation closure doesn't contain Nix and its dependencies; 3) we don't have to rely on ugly chroot hacks.
