	Fixes #184.

2013-11-19	Generalise meta attributes	Eelco Dolstra

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

2013-11-19	nix-env -q: Add a --json flag	Eelco Dolstra

2013-10-24	Rename "attribute sets" to "sets"	Eelco Dolstra
	We don't have any other kind of sets so calling them attribute sets is unnecessarily verbose.
2013-09-06	Remove stray debug line	Eelco Dolstra

2013-09-03	nix-env -i: Add a flag ‘--remove-all’ / ‘-r’	Eelco Dolstra
	This is equivalent to running ‘nix-env -e '*'’ first, except that it happens in a single transaction. Thus, ‘nix-env -i pkgs...’ replaces the profile with the specified set of packages. The main motivation is to support declarative package management (similar to environment.systemPackages in NixOS). That is, if you have a specification ‘profile.nix’ like this: with import <nixpkgs> {}; [ thunderbird geeqie ... ] then after any change to ‘profile.nix’, you can run: $ nix-env -f profile.nix -ir to update the profile to match the specification. (Without the ‘-r’ flag, if you remove a package from ‘profile.nix’, it won't be removed from the actual profile.) Suggested by @zefhemel.
2013-09-03	nix-env: Use wildcard match by default	Eelco Dolstra
	That is, you don't need to pass '' anymore, so nix-env -qa is equivalent to nix-env -qa ''
2013-09-03	nix-env: Load files in ~/.nix-defexpr on demand	Eelco Dolstra
	So if you do "nix-env -qa -A nixos", then other channels won't be parsed/evaluated at all.
2013-09-03	Check for name collisions in the input Nix expressions	Eelco Dolstra

2013-09-03	Work on Values instead of Exprs	Eelco Dolstra
	This prevents some duplicate evaluation in nix-env and nix-instantiate. Also, when traversing ~/.nix-defexpr, only read regular files with the extension .nix. Previously it was reading files like .../channels/binary-caches/<name>. The only reason this didn't cause problems is pure luck (namely, <name> shadows an actual Nix expression, the binary-caches files happen to be syntactically valid Nix expressions, and we iterate over the directory contents in just the right order).
2013-09-03	Get rid of the parse tree cache	Eelco Dolstra
	Since we already cache files in normal form (fileEvalCache), caching parse trees is redundant. Note that getting rid of this cache doesn't actually save much memory at the moment, because parse trees are currently not freed / GC'ed.
2013-08-26	Fix typos, especially those that end up in the Nix manual	Ivan Kozik

2012-12-12	Allow setting the profile location using $NIX_PROFILE	Eelco Dolstra
	Fixes #69.
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	Fix the ‘--prebuilt-only’ flag	Eelco Dolstra

2012-12-03	Whitespace	Eelco Dolstra

2012-11-28	nix-env -q --out-path: Support multiple outputs	Eelco Dolstra
	We now print all output paths of a package, e.g. openssl-1.0.0i bin=/nix/store/gq2mvh0wb9l90djvsagln3aqywqmr6vl-openssl-1.0.0i-bin;man=/nix/store/7zwf5r5hsdarl3n86dasvb4chm2xzw9n-openssl-1.0.0i-man;/nix/store/cj7xvk7fjp9q887359j75pw3pzjfmqf1-openssl-1.0.0i or (in XML mode) <item attrPath="openssl" name="openssl-1.0.0i" system="x86_64-linux"> <output name="bin" path="/nix/store/gq2mvh0wb9l90djvsagln3aqywqmr6vl-openssl-1.0.0i-bin" /> <output name="man" path="/nix/store/7zwf5r5hsdarl3n86dasvb4chm2xzw9n-openssl-1.0.0i-man" /> <output name="out" path="/nix/store/cj7xvk7fjp9q887359j75pw3pzjfmqf1-openssl-1.0.0i" /> </item>
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	When ‘--help’ is given, just run ‘man’ to show the manual page	Eelco Dolstra
	I.e. do what git does. I'm too lazy to keep the builtin help text up to date :-) Also add ‘--help’ to various commands that lacked it (e.g. nix-collect-garbage).
2012-10-03	nix-env: Support ‘--repair’ flag	Eelco Dolstra

2012-09-13	nix-env --delete-generations: Support --dry-run flag	Eelco Dolstra
	Fixes #43.
2012-08-01	nix-env: Ignore manifest.nix when recursing into ~/.nix-defexpr	Eelco Dolstra
	Channels are implemented using a profile now, and profiles contain a manifest.nix file. This should be ignored to prevent bogus packages from showing up in nix-env.
2012-07-30	Refactor settings processing	Eelco Dolstra
	Put all Nix configuration flags in a Settings object.
2012-07-26	Merge branch 'master' into no-manifests	Eelco Dolstra

2012-07-18	Use "#pragma once" to prevent repeated header file inclusion	Eelco Dolstra

2012-07-11	Replace hasSubstitutes() with querySubstitutablePaths()	Eelco Dolstra
	querySubstitutablePaths() takes a set of paths, so this greatly reduces daemon <-> client latency.
2012-07-11	Add a function queryValidPaths()	Eelco Dolstra
	queryValidPaths() combines multiple calls to isValidPath() in one. This matters when using the Nix daemon because it reduces latency. For instance, on "nix-env -qas \*" it reduces execution time from 5.7s to 4.7s (which is indistinguishable from the non-daemon case).
2012-07-11	nix-env: Determine which paths have substitutes in parallel	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

2012-04-04	Include --keep-going in --help	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.
2011-12-01	* Allow '<nixexpr>' syntax to be used in nix-instantiate, nix-build	Eelco Dolstra
	and nix-env, e.g., $ nix-env -f '<nixpkgs>' -i patchelf or $ nix-build '<nixos/tests>' -A login.test
2011-08-31	* Eliminate all uses of the global variable ‘store’ from libstore.	Eelco Dolstra
	This should also fix: nix-instantiate: ./../boost/shared_ptr.hpp:254: T* boost::shared_ptr<T>::operator->() const [with T = nix::StoreAPI]: Assertion `px != 0' failed. which was caused by hashDerivationModulo() calling the ‘store’ object (during store upgrades) before openStore() assigned it.
2011-08-06	* Add a Nix expression search path feature. Paths between angle	Eelco Dolstra
	brackets, e.g. import <nixpkgs/pkgs/lib> are resolved by looking them up relative to the elements listed in the search path. This allows us to get rid of hacks like import "${builtins.getEnv "NIXPKGS_ALL"}/pkgs/lib" The search path can be specified through the ‘-I’ command-line flag and through the colon-separated ‘NIX_PATH’ environment variable, e.g., $ nix-build -I /etc/nixos ... If a file is not found in the search path, an error message is lazily thrown.
2011-08-06	* Refactoring: move parseExprFromFile() and parseExprFromString() into	Eelco Dolstra
	the EvalState class.
2011-04-11	* `nix-env -ub' (`--prebuilt-only') didn't really work because it	Eelco Dolstra
	checked too soon whether substitutes are available. That is, it did so for every available package, rather than those matching installed packages. This was very slow and subject to assertion failures. So do the check much later. Idem for `nix-env -qab' and `nix-env -ib'.
2010-11-16	* Sync with the trunk.	Eelco Dolstra

2010-10-28	* Handle out of memory condition.	Eelco Dolstra

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.
