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	Add a ‘--repair’ flag to nix-instantiate	Eelco Dolstra
	This allows repairing corrupted derivations and other source files.
2012-08-28	Make "nix-instantiate -" interruptible	Eelco Dolstra

2012-08-27	Merge branch 'master' into no-manifests	Eelco Dolstra

2012-08-24	Include the output name in the GC root link	Eelco Dolstra
	Output names are now appended to resulting GC symlinks, e.g. by nix-build. For backwards compatibility, if the output is named "out", nothing is appended. E.g. doing "nix-build -A foo" on a derivation that produces outputs "out", "bin" and "dev" will produce symlinks "./result", "./result-bin" and "./result-dev", respectively.
2012-07-30	Refactor settings processing	Eelco Dolstra
	Put all Nix configuration flags in a Settings object.
2012-04-17	nix-instantiate: default to "default.nix" if no arguments are given	Eelco Dolstra

2012-04-17	Added utility command ‘nix-instantiate --find-file’ to look up a file in ↵	Eelco Dolstra
	Nix's search path
2012-02-04	* Inline some functions and get rid of the indirection through	Eelco Dolstra
	EvalState::eval(). This gives a 12% speedup on ‘nix-instantiate /etc/nixos/nixos/ -A system --readonly-mode’ (from 1.01s to 0.89s).
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.
2010-11-16	* Sync with the trunk.	Eelco Dolstra

2010-10-28	* Handle out of memory condition.	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.
2010-10-22	* Make building against the Boehm GC a configure option.	Eelco Dolstra

2010-10-20	* Use the Boehm garbage collector to reclaim unused memory in the Nix	Eelco Dolstra
	expression evaluator.
2010-10-04	* Make sure that config.h is included before the system headers,	Eelco Dolstra
	because it defines _FILE_OFFSET_BITS. Without this, on OpenSolaris the system headers define it to be 32, and then the 32-bit stat() ends up being called with a 64-bit "struct stat", or vice versa. This also ensures that we get 64-bit file sizes everywhere. * Remove the redundant call to stat() in parseExprFromFile(). The file cannot be a symlink because that's the exit condition of the loop before.
2010-05-12	* Sync with the trunk.	Eelco Dolstra

2010-05-07	* Sync with the trunk.	Eelco Dolstra

2010-04-20	* Sync with the trunk.	Eelco Dolstra

2010-04-19	* Drop the dependency on the ATerm library.	Eelco Dolstra

2010-04-13	* Use a symbol table to represent identifiers and attribute names	Eelco Dolstra
	efficiently. The symbol table ensures that there is only one copy of each symbol, thus allowing symbols to be compared efficiently using a pointer equality test.
2010-04-12	* Indented strings.	Eelco Dolstra

2010-04-12	* Don't use ATerms for the abstract syntax trees anymore. Not	Eelco Dolstra
	finished yet.
2010-04-08	* Remove a lot of dead code.	Eelco Dolstra

2010-04-07	* Update autoCallFunction() and findAlongAttrPath().	Eelco Dolstra

2010-04-07	* expr-to-xml -> value-to-xml.	Eelco Dolstra

2010-04-07	* Implemented the primops necessary for generating the NixOS manual.	Eelco Dolstra

2010-03-31	* Implemented derivations.	Eelco Dolstra

2010-03-31	Make source location info in the XML output optional.	Ludovic Courtès
	* src/libexpr/expr-to-xml.cc (nix::showAttrs): Add `location' parameter. Provide location XML attributes when it's true. Update callers. (nix::printTermAsXML): Likewise. * src/libexpr/expr-to-xml.hh (nix::printTermAsXML): Update prototype; have `location' default to `false'. * src/nix-instantiate/nix-instantiate.cc (printResult, processExpr): Add `location' parameter; update callers. (run): Add support for `--no-location'. * src/nix-instantiate/help.txt: Update accordingly. * tests/lang.sh: Invoke `nix-instantiate' with `--no-location' for the XML tests. * tests/lang/eval-okay-toxml.exp, tests/lang/eval-okay-to-xml.nix: New files.
2010-03-30	* More operators / primops.	Eelco Dolstra

2010-03-30	* More primops.	Eelco Dolstra

2010-03-29	* Started integrating the new evaluator.	Eelco Dolstra

2010-03-02	* When using the included sqlite/aterm libraries, build with	Eelco Dolstra
	--enable-shared. * In libutil/libstore/libexpr etc., link against sqlite and aterm. * Some more header file hygiene.
2010-02-24	* `helpText' is now zero-terminated.	Eelco Dolstra

2010-02-24	* ADDITIONAL_NETWORK_LIBS -> LIBS.	Eelco Dolstra

2010-02-24	* Add ${sqlite_lib} everywhere. Just adding it in `libstore' doesn't	Eelco Dolstra
	work on x86_64 when sqlite is compiled statically.
2009-11-06	* Remove support for old (before Nix 0.12pre12020) databases.	Eelco Dolstra

2009-10-08	Added optional parameter which adds -lnsl -lsocket to make the Nix package ↵	Sander van der Burg
	manager work on OpenSolaris
2007-01-14	* Option --argstr for passing string arguments easily. (NIX-75)	Eelco Dolstra

2007-01-13	* Allow multiple --attr / -A arguments in nix-build / nix-instantiate	Eelco Dolstra
	(NIX-74).
2007-01-13	* Canonicalise ASTs in `nix-instantiate --eval': remove position	Eelco Dolstra
	info, sort attribute sets.
2006-12-07	* Doh!	Eelco Dolstra

2006-12-07	* Rename all those main.cc files.	Eelco Dolstra

2006-12-05	* Allow unprivileged users to run the garbage collector and to do	Eelco Dolstra
	`nix-store --delete'. But unprivileged users are not allowed to ignore liveness. * `nix-store --delete --ignore-liveness': ignore the runtime roots as well.
2006-11-30	* Put building in the store API.	Eelco Dolstra

2006-11-30	* Refactoring. There is now an abstract interface class StoreAPI	Eelco Dolstra
	containing functions that operate on the Nix store. One implementation is LocalStore, which operates on the Nix store directly. The next step, to enable secure multi-user Nix, is to create a different implementation RemoteStore that talks to a privileged daemon process that uses LocalStore to perform the actual operations.
