2018-02-07	Improve filtering of ANSI escape sequences in build logs	Eelco Dolstra
	All ANSI sequences except color setting are now filtered out. In particular, terminal resets (such as from NixOS VM tests) are filtered out. Also, fix the completely broken tab character handling.
2018-01-16	Add pure evaluation mode	Eelco Dolstra
	In this mode, the following restrictions apply: * The builtins currentTime, currentSystem and storePath throw an error. * $NIX_PATH and -I are ignored. * fetchGit and fetchMercurial require a revision hash. * fetchurl and fetchTarball require a sha256 attribute. * No file system access is allowed outside of the paths returned by fetch{Git,Mercurial,url,Tarball}. Thus 'nix build -f ./foo.nix' is not allowed. Thus, the evaluation result is completely reproducible from the command line arguments. E.g. nix build --pure-eval '( let nix = fetchGit { url = https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs.git; rev = "9c927de4b179a6dd210dd88d34bda8af4b575680"; }; nixpkgs = fetchGit { url = https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs.git; ref = "release-17.09"; rev = "66b4de79e3841530e6d9c6baf98702aa1f7124e4"; }; in (import (nix + "/release.nix") { inherit nix nixpkgs; }).build.x86_64-linux )' The goal is to enable completely reproducible and traceable evaluation. For example, a NixOS configuration could be fully described by a single Git commit hash. 'nixos-rebuild' would do something like nix build --pure-eval '( (import (fetchGit { url = file:///my-nixos-config; rev = "..."; })).system ') where the Git repository /my-nixos-config would use further fetchGit calls or Git externals to fetch Nixpkgs and whatever other dependencies it has. Either way, the commit hash would uniquely identify the NixOS configuration and allow it to reproduced.
2017-11-01	fetchMercurial: Don't fetch hashes we already have	Eelco Dolstra

2017-10-30	builtins.fetchgit: Support importing a working tree	Eelco Dolstra
	For example, you can write src = fetchgit ./.; and if ./. refers to an unclean working tree, that tree will be copied to the Nix store. This removes the need for "cleanSource".
2017-10-25	Pass lists/attrsets to bash as (associative) arrays	Eelco Dolstra

2017-09-08	ThreadPool: On exception, interrupt the other worker threads	Eelco Dolstra

2017-08-25	Handle SIGWINCH	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".
2017-08-16	Progress indicator: Show number of active items	Eelco Dolstra

2017-08-09	Use /proc/self/fd to efficiently close all FDs on Linux	Eelco Dolstra
	Issue #1506.
2017-05-16	Improve progress indicator	Eelco Dolstra

2017-05-05	Figure out the user's home directory if $HOME is not set	Eelco Dolstra

2017-04-25	nix repl: Use $XDG_DATA_HOME for the readline history	Eelco Dolstra

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

2017-03-21	Move istringstream_nocopy to a separate file	Eelco Dolstra

2017-03-20	Merge branch 'darwin-s3-binary-cache-store' of https://github.com/shlevy/nix	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.
2017-03-08	Add missing header <sstream>	Adrien Devresse

2017-03-06	istringstream_nocopy: Implement in a standards-compliant way.	Shea Levy
	Fixes the problem mentioned in e6a61b8da788efbbbb0eb690c49434b6b5fc9741 See #1135
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).
2017-02-01	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

2017-01-19	Merge pull request #981 from shlevy/build-remote-c++	Eelco Dolstra
	build-remote: Implement in C++
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.
2017-01-19	Cleanup	Eelco Dolstra

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.
2016-12-08	Fix S3BinaryCacheStore	Eelco Dolstra
	It failed with AWS error uploading ‘6gaxphsyhg66mz0a00qghf9nqf7majs2.ls.xz’: Unable to parse ExceptionName: MissingContentLength Message: You must provide the Content-Length HTTP header. possibly because the istringstream_nocopy introduced in 0d2ebb4373e509521f27a6e8f16bfd39d05b2188 doesn't supply the seek method that the AWS library expects. So bring back the old version, but only for S3BinaryCacheStore.
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

	Fixes #1135.
2016-11-16	S3BinaryCacheStore:: Eliminate a string copy while uploading	Eelco Dolstra
	This cuts hydra-queue-runner's peak memory usage by about a third.
2016-11-10	build-remote: Implement in C++	Shea Levy

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

2016-09-21	nix-build, nix-shell: Don't print error message if nix-store/nix-instantiate ↵	Eelco Dolstra
	fails
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

2016-07-11	Modernize AutoCloseFD	Shea Levy

2016-05-04	Cleanup: Remove singleton()	Eelco Dolstra

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.
