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.
2010-05-07	* 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

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.
2006-10-16	* Big cleanup of the semantics of paths, strings, contexts, string	Eelco Dolstra
	concatenation and string coercion. This was a big mess (see e.g. NIX-67). Contexts are now folded into strings, so that they don't cause evaluation errors when they're not expected. The semantics of paths has been clarified (see nixexpr-ast.def). toString() and coerceToString() have been merged. Semantic change: paths are now copied to the store when they're in a concatenation (and in most other situations - that's the formalisation of the meaning of a path). So "foo " + ./bla evaluates to "foo /nix/store/hash...-bla", not "foo /path/to/current-dir/bla". This prevents accidental impurities, and is more consistent with the treatment of derivation outputs, e.g., `"foo " + bla' where `bla' is a derivation. (Here `bla' would be replaced by the output path of `bla'.)
2006-10-03	* toXML: propagate the context to allow derivations to be used in the	Eelco Dolstra
	argument.
2006-09-08	* Remove debug message.	Eelco Dolstra

2006-09-04	* Use a proper namespace.	Eelco Dolstra
	* Optimise header file usage a bit. * Compile the parser as C++.
2006-08-24	* Refactoring.	Eelco Dolstra

2006-08-24	* Strict evaluation and XML printing of lists.	Eelco Dolstra

2006-08-24	* Refactoring: move strictEval to libexpr.	Eelco Dolstra

2006-08-23	* Pass the autoArgs to findAlongAttrPath so that "nix-instantiate	Eelco Dolstra
	foo.nix -A attr --arg name value" will work if (name, value) is needed in the evaluation leading up to "attr".
2006-08-17	* Print attributes in sorted order, rather than the arbitrary order	Eelco Dolstra
	produced by ATermMap. Necessary for testing. * `--strict' should also work on stdin.
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'.
2006-08-16	* `nix-instantiate --{eval\|parse}-only --xml': print an XML	Eelco Dolstra
	representation instead of an ATerm. * Indent XML output.
2006-08-14	* Put the value in an attribute.	Eelco Dolstra

2006-08-03	* `nix-instantiate --print-args': produce XML output so that the	Eelco Dolstra
	result can be used more easily by scripts.
2006-07-28	* `nix-instantiate ... --arg NAME VALUE': allow arguments to be passed	Eelco Dolstra
	to functions from the command line. * nix-build: started removing backticks.
2006-07-28	* `nix-instantiate --print-args': print out the valid values for	Eelco Dolstra
	functions arguments that have a domain.
2006-07-26	* Refactoring: get the selection path stuff out of getDerivations()	Eelco Dolstra
	and put it into a separate function findAlongAttrPath().
2006-07-25	* `nix-instantiate --print-args' prints out the arguments of a	Eelco Dolstra
	top-level function.
2006-05-12	* Support for srcdir != builddir (NIX-41).	Eelco Dolstra

2006-03-06	* Regularise help text a bit.	Eelco Dolstra

2006-02-10	* Enable the --attr in nix-build as well (and add -A as an alias).	Eelco Dolstra
	Example: $ nix-build ./all-packages.nix -A xlibs.libX11 So finally it's easy to perform a test build of a Nix expression!
2006-02-10	* In nix-instantiate, allow us to specify a "path" to the	Eelco Dolstra
	derivation(s) we're interested, e.g., $ nix-instantiate ./all-packages.nix --attr xlibs.libX11 List elements can also be selected: $ nix-instantiate ./build-for-release.nix --attr 0.subversion This allows a non-ambiguous specification of a derivation. Of course, this should also be added to nix-env and nix-build.
2006-02-10	* Make --parse-only work when not reading from stdin.	Eelco Dolstra

2006-02-10	* Cleanup: use the code shared with nix-env.	Eelco Dolstra

2005-07-22	* Build dynamic libraries.	Eelco Dolstra

2005-07-12	* In nix-instantiate, at top-level, call functions that have arguments	Eelco Dolstra
	with default values automatically. I.e., e -> e {}. This feature makes convenience expressions such as pkgs/system/i686-linux.nix in Nixpkgs obsolete, since we can just do $ nix-instantiate ./pkgs/system/all-packages.nix since all-packages.nix takes a single argument (system) that has a default value (__thisSystem).
