2005-01-19	* Renamed `normalise.cc' -> `build.cc', `storeexprs.cc' ->	Eelco Dolstra
	`derivations.cc', etc. * Store the SHA-256 content hash of store paths in the database after they have been built/added. This is so that we can check whether the store has been messed with (a la `rpm --verify'). * When registering path validity, verify that the closure property holds.
2004-10-29	* Drop ATmake / ATMatcher also in handling store expressions.	Eelco Dolstra

2004-10-26	* Don't use ATmake / ATmatch anymore, nor the ATMatcher class.	Eelco Dolstra
	Instead we generate data bindings (build and match functions) for the constructors specified in `constructors.def'. In particular this removes the conversions between AFuns and strings, and Nix expression evaluation now seems 3 to 4 times faster.
2004-10-26	* Mode `--parse-only' to parse the input (on stdin, `-'), and print	Eelco Dolstra
	out the AST as an ATerm. * Mode `--eval-only' to parse and evaluate the input, and print the resulting normal form as an ATerm. Neither of these modes require store/DB write permission.
2004-07-01	* Nix-instantiate now accepts sets of derivations (just like nix-env).	Eelco Dolstra

2004-04-05	* When something goes wrong in the evaluation of a Nix expression,	Eelco Dolstra
	print a nice backtrace of the stack, rather than vomiting a gigantic (and useless) aterm on the screen. Example: error: while evaluating file `.../pkgs/system/test.nix': while evaluating attribute `subversion' at `.../pkgs/system/all-packages-generic.nix', line 533: while evaluating function at `.../pkgs/applications/version-management/subversion/default.nix', line 1: assertion failed at `.../pkgs/applications/version-management/subversion/default.nix', line 13 Since the Nix expression language is lazy, the trace may be misleading. The purpose is to provide a hint as to the location of the problem.
2004-02-04	* Use a map to lookup primops.	Eelco Dolstra
	* Various performance improvements in the evaluator. * Do not link against unused (and missing!) libraries (-lsglr, etc.).
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. :-)
2003-11-22	* Fix nix-push.	Eelco Dolstra

2003-11-22	* Maintain integrity of the substitute and successor mappings when	Eelco Dolstra
	deleting a path in the store. * Allow absolute paths in Nix expressions. * Get nix-prefetch-url to work again. * Various other fixes.
2003-11-19	* Refactoring (step 2).	Eelco Dolstra

2003-11-19	* Refactoring: put the Nix expression evaluator in its own library so	Eelco Dolstra
	that it can be used by multiple programs.
2003-11-18	* "Fix expression" -> "Nix expression".	Eelco Dolstra
	* More refactoring.
