2017-08-29	nix run: Flush the progress bar before starting the command	Eelco Dolstra

2017-08-29	nix run: Fix chroot execution	Eelco Dolstra
	Running "nix run" with a diverted store, e.g. $ nix run --store local?root=/tmp/nix nixpkgs.hello stopped working when Nix became multithreaded, because unshare(CLONE_NEWUSER) doesn't work in multithreaded processes. The obvious solution is to terminate all other threads first, but 1) there is no way to terminate Boehm GC marker threads; and 2) it appears that the kernel has a race where unshare(CLONE_NEWUSER) will still fail for some indeterminate amount of time after joining other threads. So instead, "nix run" will now exec() a single-threaded helper ("nix __run_in_chroot") that performs the actual unshare()/chroot()/exec().

	Relevant RFC: NixOS/rfcs#4 $ ag -l \| xargs sed -i -e "/\"/s/’/'/g;/\"/s/‘/'/g"
2017-07-14	nix: Show help when no arguments are given	Eelco Dolstra
	Fixes #1464.
2017-06-07	Don't show flags from config settings in "nix --help"	Eelco Dolstra

2017-06-07	nix: Add --help-config flag	Eelco Dolstra

2017-06-07	nix: Make all options available as flags	Eelco Dolstra
	Thus, instead of ‘--option <name> <value>’, you can write ‘--<name> <value>’. So --option http-connections 100 becomes --http-connections 100 Apart from brevity, the difference is that it's not an error to set a non-existent option via --option, but unrecognized arguments are fatal. Boolean options have special treatment: they're mapped to the argument-less flags ‘--<name>’ and ‘--no-<name>’. E.g. --option auto-optimise-store false becomes --no-auto-optimise-store
2017-05-16	Improve progress indicator	Eelco Dolstra

2017-04-13	Convert Settings to the new config system	Eelco Dolstra
	This makes all config options self-documenting. Unknown or unparseable config settings and --option flags now cause a warning.
2017-04-08	Process nix.conf options in "new" nix commands, add test.	Will Dietz
	Without this (minor) change, the options set using "--option" or read from nix.conf were parsed but not used.
2016-04-25	nix: Disable verbose builds	Eelco Dolstra

2016-04-25	Improved logging abstraction	Eelco Dolstra
	This also gets rid of --log-type, since the nested log type isn't useful in a multi-threaded situation, and nobody cares about the "pretty" log type.
2016-03-04	Add warning about "nix" being experimental	Eelco Dolstra

2016-02-09	Start of new Nix command-line interface	Eelco Dolstra
