2014-04-04	Show position info in string concatenation / addition errors	Eelco Dolstra

2014-03-11	Fix passing meta attribute to buildenv.nix	Eelco Dolstra
	Since the meta attributes were not sorted, attribute lookup could fail, leading to package priorities and active flags not working correctly. Broken since 0f24400d90daf65cf20142a662f8245008437e2c.
2014-02-18	Add a flag ‘--check’ to verify build determinism	Eelco Dolstra
	The flag ‘--check’ to ‘nix-store -r’ or ‘nix-build’ will cause Nix to redo the build of a derivation whose output paths are already valid. If the new output differs from the original output, an error is printed. This makes it easier to test if a build is deterministic. (Obviously this cannot catch all sources of non-determinism, but it catches the most common one, namely the current time.) For example: $ nix-build '<nixpkgs>' -A patchelf ... $ nix-build '<nixpkgs>' -A patchelf --check error: derivation `/nix/store/1ipvxsdnbhl1rw6siz6x92s7sc8nwkkb-patchelf-0.6' may not be deterministic: hash mismatch in output `/nix/store/4pc1dmw5xkwmc6q3gdc9i5nbjl4dkjpp-patchelf-0.6.drv' The --check build fails if not all outputs are valid. Thus the first call to nix-build is necessary to ensure that all outputs are valid. The current outputs are left untouched: the new outputs are either put in a chroot or diverted to a different location in the store using hash rewriting.
2013-11-22	Add missing #include	Eelco Dolstra

2013-11-19	Check meta values and warn about bad ones	Eelco Dolstra

2013-11-19	Generalise meta attributes	Eelco Dolstra

2013-11-19	Drop support for user environment manifests in ATerm format	Eelco Dolstra

2012-12-04	nix-env: Install all outputs of a derivation	Eelco Dolstra
	If you explicitly install a package, presumably you want all of it. So symlink all outputs in the user environment.
2012-12-03	Whitespace	Eelco Dolstra

2012-10-04	getDerivation(): Don't always quietly ignore assertion failure	Eelco Dolstra
	Ignoring assertion failures makes some sense for nix-env -qa, but not for nix-instantiate/nix-build or hydra-eval-jobs.
2012-10-03	nix-env: Support ‘--repair’ flag	Eelco Dolstra

2012-06-27	nix-store -r: do substitutions in parallel	Eelco Dolstra
	I.e. when multiple non-derivation arguments are passed to ‘nix-store -r’ to be substituted, do them in parallel.
2012-04-14	Remove unnecessary "system" argument	Eelco Dolstra

2012-01-03	* Refactoring: Get rid of a few subdirectories in corepkgs/, and some	Eelco Dolstra
	other simplifications. * Use <nix/...> to locate the corepkgs. This allows them to be overriden through $NIX_PATH. * Use bash's pipefail option in the NAR builder so that we don't need to create a temporary file.
2011-08-06	* Refactoring: move parseExprFromFile() and parseExprFromString() into	Eelco Dolstra
	the EvalState class.
2010-10-24	* When allocating an attribute set, reserve enough space for all	Eelco Dolstra
	elements. This prevents the vector from having to resize itself.
2010-10-24	* Keep attribute sets in sorted order to speed up attribute lookups.	Eelco Dolstra
	* Simplify the representation of attributes in the AST. * Change the behaviour of listToAttrs() in case of duplicate names.
2010-10-23	* Remove allocValues().	Eelco Dolstra

2010-10-22	* Store Value nodes outside of attribute sets. I.e., Attr now stores	Eelco Dolstra
	a pointer to a Value, rather than the Value directly. This improves the effectiveness of garbage collection a lot: if the Value is stored inside the set directly, then any live pointer to the Value causes all other attributes in the set to be live as well.
2010-05-30	* Remove an accidentally committed debug statement.	Eelco Dolstra

2010-05-07	* Keep track of the source positions of attributes.	Eelco Dolstra

2010-04-21	* Store user environment manifests as a Nix expression in	Eelco Dolstra
	$out/manifest.nix rather than as an ATerm. (Hm, I thought I committed this two days ago...)
2010-04-19	* Don't use the ATerm library for parsing/printing .drv files.	Eelco Dolstra

2010-04-19	* Added parsing of manifests in ATerm format.	Eelco Dolstra

2010-04-19	* Refactoring: move the user environment stuff into its own module.	Eelco Dolstra
