2006-08-16	* More XML output. `--strict' to strictly evaluate attribute sets and	Eelco Dolstra
	so on. * Removed `--print-args', it's subsumed by `--eval-only --xml'.
2006-07-25	* `nix-instantiate --print-args' prints out the arguments of a	Eelco Dolstra
	top-level function.
2006-03-06	* Regularise help text a bit.	Eelco Dolstra

2005-02-01	* nix-store, nix-instantiate: added an option `--add-root' to	Eelco Dolstra
	immediately add the result as a permanent GC root. This is the only way to prevent a race with the garbage collector. For instance, the old style ln -s $(nix-store -r $(nix-instantiate foo.nix)) \ /nix/var/nix/gcroots/result has two time windows in which the garbage collector can interfere (by GC'ing the derivation and the output, respectively). On the other hand, nix-store --add-root /nix/var/nix/gcroots/result -r \ $(nix-instantiate --add-root /nix/var/nix/gcroots/drv \ foo.nix) is safe. * nix-build: use `--add-root' to prevent GC races.
2004-11-12	* Document --eval-only and --parse-only options in nix-instantiate.	Eelco Dolstra

2003-12-01	* Help text for all (non-script) programs, so no more:	Eelco Dolstra
	$ nix-instantiate --help error: unknown flag `--help` Try `nix-instantiate --help' for more information. :-)
