2017-03-15	runProgram(): Distinguish between empty input and no input	Eelco Dolstra
	For example, if we call brotli with an empty input, it shouldn't read from the caller's stdin.
2017-03-15	S3BinaryCacheStore: Support compression of narinfo and log files	Eelco Dolstra
	You can now set the store parameter "text-compression=br" to compress textual files in the binary cache (i.e. narinfo and logs) using Brotli. This sets the Content-Encoding header; the extension of compressed files is unchanged. You can separately specify the compression of log files using "log-compression=br". This is useful when you don't want to compress narinfo files for backward compatibility.
2017-03-15	Add support for brotli compression	Eelco Dolstra
	Build logs on cache.nixos.org are compressed using Brotli (since this allows them to be decompressed automatically by Chrome and Firefox), so it's handy if "nix log" can decompress them.

2017-02-22	RemoteStore::addToStore(): Pass content-addressability assertion	Eelco Dolstra
	... and use this in Downloader::downloadCached(). This fixes $ nix-build https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-16.09-small/nixexprs.tar.xz -A hello error: cannot import path ‘/nix/store/csfbp1s60dkgmk9f8g0zk0mwb7hzgabd-nixexprs.tar.xz’ because it lacks a valid signature
2017-02-21	Handle CURLE_RECV_ERROR as a transient error	Eelco Dolstra
	This fixes unable to download ‘https://cache.nixos.org/nar/077h8ji74y9b0qx7rjk71xd80vjqp6q5gy137r553jlvdlxdcdlk.nar.xz’: HTTP error 200 (curl error: Failure when receiving data from the peer)
2017-02-21	Fix building without S3 support	Eelco Dolstra

2017-02-16	Move netrcFile to Settings	Eelco Dolstra
	Also get rid of Settings::processEnvironment(), it appears to be useless.
2017-02-16	Include "curl" in the User-Agent header	Eelco Dolstra
	Some sites (e.g. BitBucket) give a helpful 401 error when trying to download a private archive if the User-Agent contains "curl", but give a redirect to a login page otherwise (so for instance "nix-prefetch-url" will succeed but produce useless output).
2017-02-16	Merge pull request #1215 from k0001/netrc-1	Eelco Dolstra
	Add netrc-file support
2017-02-14	Add support for s3:// URIs	Eelco Dolstra
	This adds support for s3:// URIs in all places where Nix allows URIs, e.g. in builtins.fetchurl, builtins.fetchTarball, <nix/fetchurl.nix> and NIX_PATH. It allows fetching resources from private S3 buckets, using credentials obtained from the standard places (i.e. AWS_* environment variables, ~/.aws/credentials and the EC2 metadata server). This may not be super-useful in general, but since we already depend on aws-sdk-cpp, it's a cheap feature to add.

2017-02-02	Add netrc-file support	Renzo Carbonara

2017-01-26	On HTTP errors, also show the curl error	Eelco Dolstra
	This is a hopefully temporary measure to diagnose the intermittent "HTTP error 200" failures.
2017-01-24	Enable verbose curl output	Eelco Dolstra
	Closes #1182.
2017-01-17	Handle SIGINT etc. via a sigwait() signal handler thread	Eelco Dolstra
	This allows other threads to install callbacks that run in a regular, non-signal context. In particular, we can use this to signal the downloader thread to quit. Closes #1183.
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...

2016-10-21	BinaryCacheStore: Optionally write a NAR listing	Eelco Dolstra
	The store parameter "write-nar-listing=1" will cause BinaryCacheStore to write a file ‘<store-hash>.ls.xz’ for each ‘<store-hash>.narinfo’ added to the binary cache. This file contains an XZ-compressed JSON file describing the contents of the NAR, excluding the contents of regular files. E.g. { "version": 1, "root": { "type": "directory", "entries": { "lib": { "type": "directory", "entries": { "Mcrt1.o": { "type": "regular", "size": 1288 }, "Scrt1.o": { "type": "regular", "size": 3920 }, } } } ... } } (The actual file has no indentation.) This is intended to speed up the NixOS channels programs index generator [1], since fetching gazillions of large NARs from cache.nixos.org is currently a bottleneck for updating the regular (non-small) channel.

2016-10-13	Fix HTTP/2 support	Eelco Dolstra
	Commit 86e8c67efc33cf756500a1dec7fd6313658f2664 broke it, because CURL_* are not actually #defines.
2016-10-13	SSL_CERT_FILE -> NIX_SSL_CERT_FILE	Eelco Dolstra
	This prevents collisions with the "native" OpenSSL, in particular on OS X. Fixes #921.

2016-09-20	Improve robustness	Eelco Dolstra

2016-09-16	Make computeFSClosure() single-threaded again	Eelco Dolstra
	The fact that queryPathInfo() is synchronous meant that we needed a thread for every concurrent binary cache lookup, even though they end up being handled by the same download thread. Requiring hundreds of threads is not a good idea. So now there is an asynchronous version of queryPathInfo() that takes a callback function to process the result. Similarly, enqueueDownload() now takes a callback rather than returning a future. Thus, a command like nix path-info --store https://cache.nixos.org/ -r /nix/store/slljrzwmpygy1daay14kjszsr9xix063-nixos-16.09beta231.dccf8c5 that returns 4941 paths now takes 1.87s using only 2 threads (the main thread and the downloader thread). (This is with a prewarmed CloudFront.)
2016-09-14	Revive binary-caches-parallel-connections	Eelco Dolstra
	It's a slight misnomer now because it actually limits all downloads, not just binary cache lookups. Also add a "enable-http2" option to allow disabling use of HTTP/2 (enabled by default).
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.

2016-08-10	HttpBinaryCacheStore: Retry on transient HTTP errors	Eelco Dolstra
	This makes us more robust against 500 errors from CloudFront or S3 (assuming the 500 error isn't cached by CloudFront...).

2016-07-26	makeFixedOutputPath(): Drop superfluous HashType argument	Eelco Dolstra

2016-07-26	builtins.{fetchurl,fetchTarball}: Support a sha256 attribute	Eelco Dolstra
	Also, allow builtins.{fetchurl,fetchTarball} in restricted mode if a hash is specified.
2016-07-21	Fix random failures caused by CurlDownloader modifying a shared string	Eelco Dolstra

2016-04-29	Add fetchgit builtin	Eelco Dolstra
	The function builtins.fetchgit fetches Git repositories at evaluation time, similar to builtins.fetchTarball. (Perhaps the name should be changed, being confusing with respect to Nixpkgs's fetchgit function, with works at build time.) Example: (import (builtins.fetchgit git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs) {}).hello or (import (builtins.fetchgit { url = git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels; rev = "nixos-16.03"; }) {}).hello Note that the result does not contain a .git directory.
2016-04-20	Cache path info lookups in SQLite	Eelco Dolstra
	This re-implements the binary cache database in C++, allowing it to be used by other Store backends, in particular the S3 backend.
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.
