2016-04-29	BinaryCacheStore: Support bzip2 compression	Eelco Dolstra

2016-04-29	BinaryCacheStore: Support "none" compression method	Eelco Dolstra

2016-04-29	Eliminate the substituter mechanism	Eelco Dolstra
	Substitution is now simply a Store -> Store copy operation, most typically from BinaryCacheStore to LocalStore.
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.
2016-04-22	Factor out parallel processing of work items that have dependencies	Eelco Dolstra

2016-04-22	ThreadPool: Start doing work as soon as work items are enqueued	Eelco Dolstra

2016-04-22	Make compression interruptible	Eelco Dolstra

2016-04-21	nix --help: Show short flags	Eelco Dolstra

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.
2016-04-19	Move path info caching from BinaryCacheStore to Store	Eelco Dolstra
	Caching path info is generally useful. For instance, it speeds up "nix path-info -rS /run/current-system" (i.e. showing the closure sizes of all paths in the closure of the current system) from 5.6s to 0.15s. This also eliminates some APIs like Store::queryDeriver() and Store::queryReferences().
2016-04-15	BinaryCacheStore::readFile(): Return a shared_ptr to a string	Eelco Dolstra
	This allows readFile() to indicate that a file doesn't exist, and might eliminate some large string copying.
2016-04-08	Make LocalStore thread-safe	Eelco Dolstra
	Necessary for multi-threaded commands like "nix verify-paths".
2016-03-31	Add missing -pthread	Eelco Dolstra
	https://hydra.nixos.org/build/33908385
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’
2016-03-15	Fix Darwin build	Eelco Dolstra
	http://hydra.nixos.org/build/33279996
2016-03-04	Eliminate some large string copying	Eelco Dolstra

2016-03-02	Fix reading symlinks	Eelco Dolstra
	The st_size field of a symlink doesn't have to be correct, e.g. for /dev/fd symlinks.
2016-03-02	FdSource: track number of bytes read	Eelco Dolstra

2016-02-25	Merge branch 'master' into new-cli	Eelco Dolstra

2016-02-25	Add NAR / Store accessor abstraction	Eelco Dolstra
	This is primary to allow hydra-queue-runner to extract files like "nix-support/hydra-build-products" from NARs in binary caches.
2016-02-25	Fix short boolean flags	Eelco Dolstra

2016-02-25	Merge branch 'master' into new-cli	Eelco Dolstra

2016-02-24	deletePath(): Succeed if path doesn't exist	Eelco Dolstra
	Also makes it robust against concurrent deletions.
2016-02-24	BinaryCacheStore: Implement addToStore()	Eelco Dolstra
	So now you can do $ NIX_REMOTE=file:///tmp/binary-cache nix-instantiate '<nixpkgs>' -A hello and lots of other operations.
2016-02-24	Typo	Eelco Dolstra

2016-02-24	Move BinaryCacheStore / LocalBinaryCacheStore from Hydra	Eelco Dolstra
	So you can now do: $ NIX_REMOTE=file:///tmp/binary-cache nix-store -qR /nix/store/...
2016-02-24	std::condition_variable_any -> std::condition_variable	Eelco Dolstra
	The latter is supposed to be more efficient.
2016-02-24	C++ templates are just a glorified macro facility	Eelco Dolstra

2016-02-24	Remove bad daemon connections from the pool	Eelco Dolstra
	This is necessary for long-running processes like hydra-queue-runner: if a nix-daemon worker is killed, we need to stop reusing that connection.
2016-02-23	Pool<T>: Allow a maximum pool size	Eelco Dolstra

2016-02-23	RemoteStore: Make thread-safe	Eelco Dolstra
	This allows a RemoteStore object to be used safely from multiple threads concurrently. It will make multiple daemon connections if necessary. Note: pool.hh and sync.hh have been copied from the Hydra source tree.
2016-02-23	Move ref<t> into a separate header	Eelco Dolstra

2016-02-15	Add xz compression function	Eelco Dolstra
	This is used by the Hydra queue runner, but since it may also be useful for the C++ rewrite of nix-push, I'm putting it here.
2016-02-15	decompressXZ: Ensure that lzma_end() is called	Eelco Dolstra
	Otherwise we might leak memory.
2016-02-12	Merge pull request #762 from ctheune/ctheune-floats	Eelco Dolstra
	Implement floats
2016-02-11	ref<T>: Add cast operator	Eelco Dolstra

2016-02-09	Start of new Nix command-line interface	Eelco Dolstra

2016-02-09	New command line parsing infrastructure	Eelco Dolstra

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.)
2016-01-27	Define HashType's size to allow it to be forward-declared	Eelco Dolstra

2016-01-27	Trivia	Eelco Dolstra

2016-01-27	Make hashLength32() a method of Hash	Eelco Dolstra

2016-01-20	string2Int: Barf on negative numbers for unsigned types	Eelco Dolstra

2016-01-05	Fix compilation	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	Fixed unresolved 'BUFSIZ'	FrankHB
	`BUFSIZ` is defined in header `<cstdio>`.
2016-01-05	First hit at providing support for floats in the language.	Christian Theune

2015-12-10	Build sandbox support etc. unconditionally on Linux	Eelco Dolstra
	Also, use "#if __APPLE__" instead of "#if SANDBOX_ENABLED" to prevent ambiguity.
2015-11-25	Use DT_UNKNOWN when dirent d_type extension is not supported.	Danny Wilson
	edolstra: “…since callers of readDirectory have to handle the possibility of DT_UNKNOWN anyway, and we don't want to do a stat call for every directory entry unless it's really needed.”
