2017-08-31	Add an activity for binary cache queries	Eelco Dolstra

2017-08-31	Fix mismatched tag warning	Eelco Dolstra
	https://hydra.nixos.org/build/59649086
2017-08-29	nix run: Allow passing a command to execute	Eelco Dolstra
	E.g. nix run nixpkgs.hello -c hello --greeting Hallo Note that unlike "nix-shell --command", no quoting of arguments is necessary. "-c" (short for "--command") cannot be combined with "--" because they both consume all remaining arguments. But since installables shouldn't start with a dash, this is unlikely to cause problems.
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.
2017-08-28	Give activities a verbosity level again	Eelco Dolstra
	And print them (separately from the progress bar) given sufficient -v flags.
2017-08-28	Tunnel progress messages from the daemon to the client	Eelco Dolstra
	This makes the progress bar work for non-root users.
2017-08-28	Simplify	Eelco Dolstra

2017-08-25	Simplify	Eelco Dolstra

2017-08-25	Allow derivations to update the build phase	Eelco Dolstra
	So the progress bar can show [1/0/1 built, 0.0 MiB DL] building hello-2.10 (configuring): checking whether pread is declared without a macro... yes
2017-08-25	Allow activities to be nested	Eelco Dolstra
	In particular, this allows more relevant activities ("substituting X") to supersede inferior ones ("downloading X").
2017-08-25	Handle SIGWINCH	Eelco Dolstra

2017-08-25	Typo	Eelco Dolstra

2017-08-25	Restore activity metadata	Eelco Dolstra
	This allows the progress bar to display "building perl-5.22.3" instead of "building /nix/store/<hash>-perl-5.22.3.drv".
2017-08-21	Disallow accidental copy construction	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	nix verify: Restore the progress indicator	Eelco Dolstra

2017-08-16	nix optimise-store: Show how much space has been freed	Eelco Dolstra

2017-08-16	nix optimise-store: Add	Eelco Dolstra
	This replaces "nix-store --optimise". Main difference is that it has a progress indicator.
2017-08-16	Progress indicator: Cleanup	Eelco Dolstra

2017-08-16	Progress indicator: More improvements	Eelco Dolstra

2017-08-16	Progress indicator: Show number of active items	Eelco Dolstra

2017-08-16	Progress indicator: Unify "copying" and "substituting"	Eelco Dolstra
	They're the same thing after all. Example: $ nix build --store local?root=/tmp/nix nixpkgs.firefox-unwrapped [0/1 built, 49/98 copied, 16.3/92.8 MiB DL, 55.8/309.2 MiB copied] downloading 'https://cache.nixos.org/nar/0pl9li1jigcj2dany47hpmn0r3r48wc4nz48v5mqhh426lgz3bz6.nar.xz'
2017-08-16	Improve substitution progress indicator	Eelco Dolstra
	E.g. $ nix build --store local?root=/tmp/nix nixpkgs.firefox-unwrapped [0/1 built, 1/97/98 fetched, 65.8/92.8 MiB DL, 203.2/309.2 MiB copied] downloading 'https://cache.nixos.org/nar/1czm9fk0svacy4h6a3fzkpafi4f7a9gml36kk8cq1igaghbspg3k.nar.xz'
2017-08-16	nix copy: Improve progress indicator	Eelco Dolstra
	It now shows the amount of data copied: [8/1038 copied, 160.4/1590.9 MiB copied] copying path '...'
2017-08-16	nix copy: Revive progress bar	Eelco Dolstra

2017-08-09	Use /proc/self/fd to efficiently close all FDs on Linux	Eelco Dolstra

2017-07-30	Replace Unicode quotes in user-facing strings by ASCII	Jörg Thalheim
	Relevant RFC: NixOS/rfcs#4 $ ag -l \| xargs sed -i -e "/\"/s/’/'/g;/\"/s/‘/'/g"
2017-07-30	replace "Mac OS X" with "macOS"	davidak
	except in older release notes where the name was actually Mac OS X.
2017-07-28	nix-prefetch-url: Fix regression in hash printing	Eelco Dolstra

2017-07-26	nix search: Add a cache	Eelco Dolstra
	The package list is now cached in ~/.cache/nix/package-search.json. This gives a substantial speedup to "nix search" queries. For example (on an SSD): First run: (no package search cache, cold page cache) $ time nix search blender Attribute name: nixpkgs.blender Package name: blender Version: 2.78c Description: 3D Creation/Animation/Publishing System real 0m6.516s Second run: (package search cache populated) $ time nix search blender Attribute name: nixpkgs.blender Package name: blender Version: 2.78c Description: 3D Creation/Animation/Publishing System real 0m0.143s
2017-07-20	Add "nix search" command	Eelco Dolstra

2017-07-14	nix: Show help when no arguments are given	Eelco Dolstra
	Fixes #1464.
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.
2017-07-10	Merge pull request #1422 from nh2/fix-potential-hash-comparison-crash	Eelco Dolstra
	Fix potential crash/wrong result two hashes of unequal length are compared
2017-07-04	Support base-64 hashes	Eelco Dolstra
	Also simplify the Hash API. Fixes #1437.
2017-07-03	processGraph(): Call getEdges in parallel	Eelco Dolstra

2017-06-24	Fix potential crash/wrong result two hashes of unequal length are compared	Niklas Hambüchen

2017-06-12	Suppress spurious "killing process N: Operation not permitted" on macOS	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
2017-05-29	Fix build failure on Debian/Ubuntu	Eelco Dolstra
