2017-08-28	Give activities a verbosity level again	Eelco Dolstra
	And print them (separately from the progress bar) given sufficient -v flags.
2017-08-28	Don't send progress messages to older clients	Eelco Dolstra

2017-08-28	Tunnel progress messages from the daemon to the client	Eelco Dolstra
	This makes the progress bar work for non-root users.
2017-08-28	Simplify	Eelco Dolstra

2017-08-28	Make TunnelLogger thread-safe	Eelco Dolstra
	Now that we use threads in lots of places, it's possible for TunnelLogger::log() to be called asynchronously from other threads than the main loop. So we need to ensure that STDERR_NEXT messages don't clobber other messages.
2017-08-25	Simplify	Eelco Dolstra

2017-08-25	Doh	Eelco Dolstra

2017-08-25	Allow derivations to update the build phase	Eelco Dolstra
	So the progress bar can show [1/0/1 built, 0.0 MiB DL] building hello-2.10 (configuring): checking whether pread is declared without a macro... yes
2017-08-25	Allow activities to be nested	Eelco Dolstra
	In particular, this allows more relevant activities ("substituting X") to supersede inferior ones ("downloading X").
2017-08-25	Fix Debian build	Eelco Dolstra
	https://hydra.nixos.org/build/59390148
2017-08-25	Handle SIGWINCH	Eelco Dolstra

2017-08-25	When truncating the progress bar, take ANSI escape sequences into account	Eelco Dolstra

2017-08-25	Typo	Eelco Dolstra

2017-08-25	Restore activity metadata	Eelco Dolstra
	This allows the progress bar to display "building perl-5.22.3" instead of "building /nix/store/<hash>-perl-5.22.3.drv".
2017-08-21	Clean up JSON construction	Eelco Dolstra

2017-08-21	Allow builders to create activities	Eelco Dolstra
	Actually, currently they can only create download activities. Thus, downloads by builtins.fetchurl show up in the progress bar.
2017-08-21	Remove debug line	Eelco Dolstra

2017-08-21	Disallow accidental copy construction	Eelco Dolstra

2017-08-18	Remove unused decodeOctalEscaped	Andy Wingo
	Besides being unused, this function has a bug that it will incorrectly decode the path component Ubuntu\04016.04.2\040LTS\040amd64 as "Ubuntu.04.2 LTS amd64" instead of "Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS amd64".
2017-08-16	Merge branch 'tokenize' of https://github.com/nbp/nix	Eelco Dolstra

2017-08-16	nix verify: Restore the progress indicator	Eelco Dolstra

2017-08-16	nix optimise-store: Show how much space has been freed	Eelco Dolstra

2017-08-16	nix optimise-store: Add	Eelco Dolstra
	This replaces "nix-store --optimise". Main difference is that it has a progress indicator.
2017-08-16	Progress indicator: Cleanup	Eelco Dolstra

2017-08-16	Progress indicator: More improvements	Eelco Dolstra

2017-08-16	Progress indicator: Show number of active items	Eelco Dolstra

2017-08-16	Progress indicator: Unify "copying" and "substituting"	Eelco Dolstra
	They're the same thing after all. Example: $ nix build --store local?root=/tmp/nix nixpkgs.firefox-unwrapped [0/1 built, 49/98 copied, 16.3/92.8 MiB DL, 55.8/309.2 MiB copied] downloading 'https://cache.nixos.org/nar/0pl9li1jigcj2dany47hpmn0r3r48wc4nz48v5mqhh426lgz3bz6.nar.xz'
2017-08-16	Improve substitution progress indicator	Eelco Dolstra
	E.g. $ nix build --store local?root=/tmp/nix nixpkgs.firefox-unwrapped [0/1 built, 1/97/98 fetched, 65.8/92.8 MiB DL, 203.2/309.2 MiB copied] downloading 'https://cache.nixos.org/nar/1czm9fk0svacy4h6a3fzkpafi4f7a9gml36kk8cq1igaghbspg3k.nar.xz'
2017-08-16	nix copy: Improve progress indicator	Eelco Dolstra
	It now shows the amount of data copied: [8/1038 copied, 160.4/1590.9 MiB copied] copying path '...'
2017-08-16	nix copy: Revive progress bar	Eelco Dolstra

2017-08-16	nix copy: Add --no-check-sigs flag	Eelco Dolstra

2017-08-16	Disallow SSH host names starting with a dash	Eelco Dolstra

2017-08-15	Add builtins.string function.	Nicolas B. Pierron
	The function 'builtins.split' takes a POSIX extended regular expression and an arbitrary string. It returns a list of non-matching substring interleaved by lists of matched groups of the regular expression. ```nix with builtins; assert split "(a)b" "abc" == [ "" [ "a" ] "c" ]; assert split "([ac])" "abc" == [ "" [ "a" ] "b" [ "c" ] "" ]; assert split "(a)\|(c)" "abc" == [ "" [ "a" null ] "b" [ null "c" ] "" ]; assert split "([[:upper:]]+)" " FOO " == [ " " [ "FOO" ] " " ]; ```
2017-08-10	Style fix	Eelco Dolstra

2017-08-09	Use /proc/self/fd to efficiently close all FDs on Linux	Eelco Dolstra
	Issue #1506.
2017-08-09	nix repl: Support printing floating-point numbers	Eelco Dolstra

2017-08-03	Include missing <cstdlib> for abort()	Brian McKenna
	This is needed to get Nix compiled using Android NDK.
2017-07-31	Merge branch 'macOS' of https://github.com/davidak/nix	Eelco Dolstra

2017-07-30	Replace Unicode quotes in user-facing strings by ASCII	Jörg Thalheim
	Relevant RFC: NixOS/rfcs#4 $ ag -l \| xargs sed -i -e "/\"/s/’/'/g;/\"/s/‘/'/g"
2017-07-30	replace "OS X" with "macOS"	davidak

2017-07-30	replace "Mac OS X" with "macOS"	davidak
	except in older release notes where the name was actually Mac OS X.
2017-07-28	nix-build: Fix regression causing all outputs to be built	Eelco Dolstra

2017-07-28	nix-prefetch-url: Fix regression in hash printing	Eelco Dolstra

2017-07-27	builtins.fetchgit: Support specifying commit hashes	Eelco Dolstra
	This adds an argument "rev" specififying the Git commit hash. The existing argument "rev" is renamed to "ref". The default value for "ref" is "master". When specifying a hash, it's necessary to specify a ref since we're not cloning the entire repository but only fetching a specific ref. Example usage: builtins.fetchgit { url = https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs.git; ref = "release-16.03"; rev = "c1c0484041ab6f9c6858c8ade80a8477c9ae4442"; };
2017-07-27	builtins.fetchgit: Respect tarball-ttl	Eelco Dolstra
	I.e. if the local ref is more recent than tarball-ttl seconds, then don't check the remote.
2017-07-27	builtins.fetchgit: Use proper refs locally	Eelco Dolstra

2017-07-27	builtins.fetchgit: Cache hash -> store path mappings	Eelco Dolstra
	This prevents an expensive call to addToStore() in the cached case.
2017-07-26	nix search: Add a cache	Eelco Dolstra
	The package list is now cached in ~/.cache/nix/package-search.json. This gives a substantial speedup to "nix search" queries. For example (on an SSD): First run: (no package search cache, cold page cache) $ time nix search blender Attribute name: nixpkgs.blender Package name: blender Version: 2.78c Description: 3D Creation/Animation/Publishing System real 0m6.516s Second run: (package search cache populated) $ time nix search blender Attribute name: nixpkgs.blender Package name: blender Version: 2.78c Description: 3D Creation/Animation/Publishing System real 0m0.143s
2017-07-26	nix-build/nix-shell: Eliminate call to nix-instantiate / nix-store	Eelco Dolstra
	Note that this removes the need for a derivation symlink, so the --drv-path and --add-drv-link flags now do nothing.
2017-07-20	nix-shell: Use bashInteractive from <nixpkgs>	Eelco Dolstra
	This adds about 0.1s to nix-shell runtime in the case where bashInteractive already exists. See discussion at https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/27493.
