2021-09-22	Make setDefault() typed	Eelco Dolstra

2021-07-15	Forward the whole Nix config to the post-build-hook	regnat
	Fill `NIX_CONFIG` with the value of the current Nix configuration before calling the post-build-hook. That way the whole configuration (including the possible `experimental-features`, a possibly `--store` option or whatever) will be made available to the hook
2021-03-26	Fix some typos	Eelco Dolstra
	Fixes #4671.
2020-10-29	Generalize extra-* settings	Eelco Dolstra
	This removes the extra-substituters and extra-sandbox-paths settings and instead makes every array setting extensible by setting "extra-<name> = <value>" in the configuration file or passing "--<name> <value>" on the command line.
2020-09-16	Don't include nlohmann/json.hpp in config.hh	regnat
	Instead make a separate header with the template implementation of `BaseSetting<T>::toJSONObj` that can be included where needed
2020-09-16	Include the full nlohmann/json header in config.hh	regnat
	It is apparently required for using `toJSONObject()`, which we do inside the header file (because it's in a template). This was accidentally working when building Nix itself (presumably because `config.hh` was always included after `nlohman/json.hpp`) but caused a (pretty dirty) build failure in the perl bindings package.
2020-09-16	Add a default value for the settings	regnat
	The default value is initialized when creating the setting and unchanged after that
2020-09-16	Complete the `toJSON` instance for `Setting<T>`	regnat
	Don't let it just contain the value, but also the other fields of the setting (description, aliases, etc..)
2020-08-20	Config: Use nlohmann/json	Eelco Dolstra

2020-06-16	Add another missing #include	John Ericson

2020-05-27	config.hh: Add documentation	Andreas Rammhold
	Provides some general overview on the mechanics of Config/Setting and comments for the public methods of Config.
2020-05-27	config.cc: extract parts of applyConfigFile into applyConfig	Andreas Rammhold
	This moves the actual parsing of configuration contents into applyConfig which applyConfigFile is then going to call. By changing this we can now test the configuration file parsing without actually create a file on disk.
2019-12-17	Add priority setting to stores	Eelco Dolstra
	This allows overriding the priority of substituters, e.g. $ nix-store --store ~/my-nix/ -r /nix/store/df3m4da96d84ljzxx4mygfshm1p0r2n3-geeqie-1.4 \ --substituters 'http://cache.nixos.org?priority=100 daemon?priority=10' Fixes #3264.
2018-05-30	Modularize config settings	Eelco Dolstra
	Allow global config settings to be defined in multiple Config classes. For example, this means that libutil can have settings and evaluator settings can be moved out of libstore. The Config classes are registered in a new GlobalConfig class to which config files etc. are applied. Relevant to https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/2009 in that it removes the need for ad hoc handling of useCaseHack, which was the underlying cause of that issue.
2018-02-19	Config::handleUnknownSettings(): Remove unused 'fatal' argument	Eelco Dolstra

2018-02-13	Allow plugins to define new settings.	Shea Levy

2017-11-21	Propagate flags like --sandbox to the daemon properly	Eelco Dolstra

2017-06-07	Don't show flags from config settings in "nix --help"	Eelco Dolstra

2017-06-07	nix: Add --help-config flag	Eelco Dolstra

2017-06-07	nix: Make all options available as flags	Eelco Dolstra
	Thus, instead of ‘--option <name> <value>’, you can write ‘--<name> <value>’. So --option http-connections 100 becomes --http-connections 100 Apart from brevity, the difference is that it's not an error to set a non-existent option via --option, but unrecognized arguments are fatal. Boolean options have special treatment: they're mapped to the argument-less flags ‘--<name>’ and ‘--no-<name>’. E.g. --option auto-optimise-store false becomes --no-auto-optimise-store
2017-05-03	Fix build on gcc 4.9	Eelco Dolstra
	http://hydra.nixos.org/build/52408843
2017-04-20	Improve nix show-config --json	Eelco Dolstra
	In particular, show descriptions. This could be used for manpage generation etc.
2017-04-20	Setting: Remove "Tag" template argument	Eelco Dolstra

2017-04-20	Read per-user settings from ~/.config/nix/nix.conf	Eelco Dolstra

2017-04-13	Convert Settings to the new config system	Eelco Dolstra
	This makes all config options self-documenting. Unknown or unparseable config settings and --option flags now cause a warning.
2017-04-13	Add a Config class to simplify adding configuration settings	Eelco Dolstra
	The typical use is to inherit Config and add Setting<T> members: class MyClass : private Config { Setting<int> foo{this, 123, "foo", "the number of foos to use"}; Setting<std::string> bar{this, "blabla", "bar", "the name of the bar"}; MyClass() : Config(readConfigFile("/etc/my-app.conf")) { std::cout << foo << "\n"; // will print 123 unless overriden } }; Currently, this is used by Store and its subclasses for store parameters. You now get a warning if you specify a non-existant store parameter in a store URI.
