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.
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.
2016-03-29	Improve SIGINT handling in multi-threaded programs	Eelco Dolstra
	The flag remembering whether an Interrupted exception was thrown is now thread-local. Thus, all threads will (eventually) throw Interrupted. Previously, one thread would throw Interrupted, and then the other threads wouldn't see that they were supposed to quit.
2016-03-29	Add "nix verify-paths" command	Eelco Dolstra
	Unlike "nix-store --verify-path", this command verifies signatures in addition to store path contents, is multi-threaded (especially useful when verifying binary caches), and has a progress indicator. Example use: $ nix verify-paths --store https://cache.nixos.org -r $(type -p thunderbird) ... [17/132 checked] checking ‘/nix/store/rawakphadqrqxr6zri2rmnxh03gqkrl3-autogen-5.18.6’
2016-02-24	deletePath(): Succeed if path doesn't exist	Eelco Dolstra
	Also makes it robust against concurrent deletions.
2016-02-12	Merge pull request #762 from ctheune/ctheune-floats	Eelco Dolstra
	Implement floats
2016-02-04	Eliminate the "store" global variable	Eelco Dolstra
	Also, move a few free-standing functions into StoreAPI and Derivation. Also, introduce a non-nullable smart pointer, ref<T>, which is just a wrapper around std::shared_ptr ensuring that the pointer is never null. (For reference-counted values, this is better than passing a "T&", because the latter doesn't maintain the refcount. Usually, the caller will have a shared_ptr keeping the value alive, but that's not always the case, e.g., when passing a reference to a std::thread via std::bind.)
2016-01-20	string2Int: Barf on negative numbers for unsigned types	Eelco Dolstra

2016-01-05	Merge pull request #685 from vizanto/master	Eelco Dolstra
	POSIX compliant directory access (fixes build on Solaris)
2016-01-05	First hit at providing support for floats in the language.	Christian Theune

2015-11-16	AutoDelete: Add default constructor with deletion disabled	Shea Levy

2015-11-09	Fix namespace issue	Eelco Dolstra

2015-11-07	Fix build on Solaris	Danny Wilson
	d_type is not part of the POSIX spec unfortunately.
2015-10-29	int2String() -> std::to_string()	Eelco Dolstra

2015-10-01	nix-prefetch-url: Rewrite in C++	Eelco Dolstra

2015-07-20	Support systemd log severity prefixes	Eelco Dolstra
	This is mostly useful for hydra-queue-runner.
2015-07-17	OCD: foreach -> C++11 ranged for	Eelco Dolstra

2015-06-17	Support URLs in $NIX_PATH	Eelco Dolstra
	This didn't work (despite claims in the manual), because the colon in "http://" was parsed as a element separator. So handle "://" specially.
2015-06-09	Use std::vector::data()	Eelco Dolstra

2015-04-09	Implement caching of fetchurl/fetchTarball results	Eelco Dolstra
	ETags are used to prevent redownloading unchanged files.
2015-02-10	Add base64 encoder/decoder	Eelco Dolstra

2015-02-04	Use libsodium instead of OpenSSL for binary cache signing	Eelco Dolstra
	Sodium's Ed25519 signatures are much shorter than OpenSSL's RSA signatures. Public keys are also much shorter, so they're now specified directly in the nix.conf option ‘binary-cache-public-keys’. The new command ‘nix-store --generate-binary-cache-key’ generates and prints a public and secret key.
2014-12-12	Fix some memory leaks	Eelco Dolstra

2014-12-12	Ensure we're writing to stderr in the builder	Eelco Dolstra
	http://hydra.nixos.org/build/17862041
2014-12-10	Use vfork	Eelco Dolstra

2014-11-19	nix-daemon: Call exit(), not _exit()	Eelco Dolstra
	This was preventing destructors from running. In particular, it was preventing the deletion of the temproot file for each worker process. It may also have been responsible for the excessive WAL growth on Hydra (due to the SQLite database not being closed properly). Apparently broken by accident in 8e9140cfdef9dbd1eb61e4c75c91d452ab5e4a74.
2014-10-03	Remove some duplicate code	Eelco Dolstra

2014-08-21	Use PR_SET_PDEATHSIG to ensure child cleanup	Eelco Dolstra

2014-08-20	Add some color	Eelco Dolstra

2014-08-04	Get rid of "killing <pid>" message for unused build hooks	Eelco Dolstra

2014-08-01	Eliminate redundant copy	Eelco Dolstra

2014-08-01	Make readDirectory() return inode / file type	Eelco Dolstra

2014-07-31	Restore default SIGPIPE handler before invoking ‘man’	Eelco Dolstra
	Fixes NixOS/nixpkgs#3410.
2014-07-10	Refactoring: Move all fork handling into a higher-order function	Eelco Dolstra
	C++11 lambdas ftw.
2014-07-10	Remove maybeVfork	Eelco Dolstra

2014-05-21	nix-store -l: Fetch build logs from the Internet	Eelco Dolstra
	If a build log is not available locally, then ‘nix-store -l’ will now try to download it from the servers listed in the ‘log-servers’ option in nix.conf. For instance, if you have: log-servers = http://hydra.nixos.org/log then it will try to get logs from http://hydra.nixos.org/log/<base name of the store path>. So you can do things like: $ nix-store -l $(which xterm) and get a log even if xterm wasn't built locally.
2014-04-08	If a .drv cannot be parsed, show its path	Eelco Dolstra
	Otherwise you just get ‘expected string `Derive(['’ which isn't very helpful.
2014-03-28	Don't interpret strings as format strings	Eelco Dolstra
	Ludo reported this error: unexpected Nix daemon error: boost::too_few_args: format-string refered to more arguments than were passed coming from this line: printMsg(lvlError, run.program + ": " + string(err, 0, p)); The problem here is that the string ends up implicitly converted to a Boost format() object, so % characters are treated specially. I always assumed (wrongly) that strings are converted to a format object that outputs the string as-is. Since this assumption appears in several places that may be hard to grep for, I've added some C++ type hackery to ensures that the right thing happens. So you don't have to worry about % in statements like printMsg(lvlError, "foo: " + s); or throw Error("foo: " + s);
2014-02-27	Set up a minimal /dev in chroots	Eelco Dolstra
	Not bind-mounting the /dev from the host also solves the problem with /dev/shm being a symlink to something not in the chroot.
2014-02-26	Remove another unused function	Eelco Dolstra

2014-02-26	Remove unused function	Eelco Dolstra

2013-11-14	Remove nix-setuid-helper	Eelco Dolstra
	AFAIK, nobody uses it, it's not maintained, and it has no tests.
2013-08-19	Store Nix integers as longs	Eelco Dolstra
	So on 64-bit systems, integers are now 64-bit. Fixes #158.
2013-07-12	Garbage collector: Don't follow symlinks arbitrarily	Eelco Dolstra
	Only indirect roots (symlinks to symlinks to the Nix store) are now supported.
2013-01-03	Remove tabs	Eelco Dolstra

2012-11-26	Make "nix-build -A <derivation>.<output>" do the right thing	Eelco Dolstra
	For example, given a derivation with outputs "out", "man" and "bin": $ nix-build -A pkg produces ./result pointing to the "out" output; $ nix-build -A pkg.man produces ./result-man pointing to the "man" output; $ nix-build -A pkg.all produces ./result, ./result-man and ./result-bin; $ nix-build -A pkg.all -A pkg2 produces ./result, ./result-man, ./result-bin and ./result-2.
2012-11-15	Don't use std::cerr in a few places	Eelco Dolstra
	Slightly scared of using std::cerr in a vforked process...
2012-11-09	Use vfork() instead of fork() if available	Eelco Dolstra
	Hopefully this reduces the chance of hitting ‘unable to fork: Cannot allocate memory’ errors. vfork() is used for everything except starting builders.
2012-11-09	Remove the quickExit function	Eelco Dolstra

2012-09-28	Handle octal escapes in /proc/self/mountinfo	Eelco Dolstra
