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.
2004-02-16	* Allow linking against an external Berkeley DB / ATerm library.	Eelco Dolstra

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.).
2003-12-02	* Add missing files to `make dist'.	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. :-)
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.
2003-11-19	* Use `sdftable -s' to get warnings about the grammar.	Eelco Dolstra
	* Several bug fixes in the grammar. * Allow one-line comments (#... and //...) to end in EOF.
2003-11-18	* "Fix expression" -> "Nix expression".	Eelco Dolstra
	* More refactoring.
2003-11-18	* nix -> nix-store, fix -> nix-instantiate.	Eelco Dolstra

2003-03-24	* Descriptors now have a "system" field specifying the platform that	Eelco Dolstra
	the build or run action should be perfomed on. This ensures that descriptors have different hashes on different platforms.
2003-03-21	* Fetch sources from the network.	Eelco Dolstra

2003-03-20	* nix-instantiate now instantiantes the closure of the set of	Eelco Dolstra
	descriptor templates under the import relation. I.e., we can now say: nix-instantiate outdir foo.nix which will create descriptors for foo.nix and all imported packages in outdir/.
2003-03-20	* A script to instantiate package descriptors from templates.	Eelco Dolstra
