2017-08-29	readLink(): Handle symlinks in /proc	Eelco Dolstra
	Symlinks like /proc/self/exe report a stat() size of 0, so use a buffer of at least PATH_MAX instead.
2017-08-25	Handle SIGWINCH	Eelco Dolstra

2017-08-25	Typo	Eelco Dolstra

2017-08-18	Remove unused decodeOctalEscaped	Andy Wingo
	Besides being unused, this function has a bug that it will incorrectly decode the path component Ubuntu\04016.04.2\040LTS\040amd64 as "Ubuntu.04.2 LTS amd64" instead of "Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS amd64".

2017-07-11	replaceSymlink(): Handle the case where the temporary file already exists	Eelco Dolstra
	Not really necessary anymore for #849, but still nice to have.

2017-04-21	add helper function to set 'interruptThrown'	David McFarland
	this fixes a linker failure on cygwin 64 due to some bad interaction between tls and shared libraries. see: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=64697

2017-04-06	Fix bogus "unexpected Nix daemon error: interrupted by the user"	Eelco Dolstra

2017-03-16	Remove "killing process <pid>" messages	Eelco Dolstra
	They convey no useful information.
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	Fix deadlock in runProgram() when input is larger than the pipe buffer size	Eelco Dolstra

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).
2017-02-08	Include config.h implicitly with '-include config.h' in CFLAGS	Tuomas Tynkkynen
	Because config.h can #define things like _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 and not every compilation unit includes config.h, we currently compile half of Nix with _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 and other half with _FILE_OFFSET_BITS unset. This causes major havoc with the Settings class on e.g. 32-bit ARM, where different compilation units disagree with the struct layout.

2017-02-01	Restore default signal handling in child processes	Eelco Dolstra
	In particular, this fixes Ctrl-C in nix-shell sessions.
2017-01-26	Fix interrupt handling	Eelco Dolstra

2017-01-24	Work around a bug in clang and older versions of gcc	Eelco Dolstra
	http://hydra.nixos.org/build/46597440 https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=28096
2017-01-19	Kill builds when we get EOF on the log FD	Eelco Dolstra
	This closes a long-time bug that allowed builds to hang Nix indefinitely (regardless of timeouts) simply by doing exec > /dev/null 2>&1; while true; do true; done Now, on EOF, we just send SIGKILL to the child to make sure it's really gone.
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.
2017-01-16	AutoCloseDir: Use std::unique_ptr	Eelco Dolstra

2017-01-16	AutoDeleteArray -> std::unique_ptr	Eelco Dolstra
	Also, switch to C++14 for std::make_unique.
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

2016-10-12	Add some functions needed by hydra	Eelco Dolstra

2016-10-06	Merge pull request #998 from veprbl/rx_chmod_fix	Eelco Dolstra
	override rx directory permissions in deletePath()
2016-09-21	nix-build, nix-shell: Don't print error message if nix-store/nix-instantiate ↵	Eelco Dolstra
	fails
2016-09-21	printMsg(lvlError, ...) -> printError(...) etc.	Eelco Dolstra

2016-09-21	Some notational convenience for formatting strings	Eelco Dolstra
	We can now write throw Error("file '%s' not found", path); instead of throw Error(format("file '%s' not found") % path); and similarly printError("file '%s' not found", path); instead of printMsg(lvlError, format("file '%s' not found") % path);
2016-09-20	Tweak	Eelco Dolstra

2016-09-20	nix-shell: Fix $PATH handling in the impure case	Eelco Dolstra
	We were passing "p=$PATH" rather than "p=$PATH;", resulting in some invalid shell code. Also, construct a separate environment for the child rather than overwriting the parent's.
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.)
2016-09-16	printMsg(): Don't check for interrupts	Eelco Dolstra
	Having the logger function potentially throw exceptions is Heisenbuggy.
2016-09-14	Add a toLower utility function	Eelco Dolstra

2016-09-14	Move some .drv parsing functions out of util	Eelco Dolstra

2016-07-25	override rx directory permissions in deletePath()	Dmitry Kalinkin
	This fixes instantiation of pythonPackages.pytest that produces a directory with less permissions during one of it's tests that leads to a nix error like: error: opening directory ‘/tmp/nix-build-python2.7-pytest-2.9.2.drv-0/pytest-of-user/pytest-0/testdir/test_cache_failure_warns0/.cache’: Permission denied
2016-07-11	Modernize AutoCloseFD	Shea Levy

2016-06-09	Use O_CLOEXEC in most places	Eelco Dolstra

2016-06-02	createTempDir(): Don't do a chown on Linux	Eelco Dolstra
	It's not needed and can cause problems in a user namespace.
2016-04-29	Support Git repos in the Nix path	Eelco Dolstra
	E.g. $ nix-build -I nixpkgs=git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs '<nixpkgs>' -A hello This is not extremely useful yet because you can't specify a branch/revision.
2016-04-25	Improved logging abstraction	Eelco Dolstra
	This also gets rid of --log-type, since the nested log type isn't useful in a multi-threaded situation, and nobody cares about the "pretty" log type.
