2016-08-29	nix path-info: Add --json flag	Eelco Dolstra
	Also, factor out JSON generation from value-to-json.{cc,hh}, and support producing indented JSON.
2016-08-29	callFunction: Copy functors to the heap	Shea Levy
	Normally it's impossible to take a reference to the function passed to callFunction, so some callers (e.g. ExprApp::eval) allocate that value on the stack. For functors, a reference to the functor itself may be kept, so we need to have it on the heap. Fixes #1045
2016-08-24	Fix queryPathFromHashPart()	Eelco Dolstra
	The inner lambda was returning a SQLite-internal char * rather than a std::string, leading to Hydra errors liks Caught exception in Hydra::Controller::Root->narinfo "path âø£â is not in the Nix store at /nix/store/6mvvyb8fgwj23miyal5mdr8ik4ixk15w-hydra-0.1.1234.abcdef/libexec/hydra/lib/Hydra/Controller/Root.pm line 352."
2016-08-23	nix build: Use Nix search path	Eelco Dolstra
	That is, unless --file is specified, the Nix search path is synthesized into an attribute set. Thus you can say $ nix build nixpkgs.hello assuming $NIX_PATH contains an entry of the form "nixpkgs=...". This is more verbose than $ nix build hello but is less ambiguous.
2016-08-17	Add a mechanism for derivation attributes to reference the derivation's outputs	Eelco Dolstra
	For example, you can now say: configureFlags = "--prefix=${placeholder "out"} --includedir=${placeholder "dev"}"; The strings returned by the ‘placeholder’ builtin are replaced at build time by the actual store paths corresponding to the specified outputs. Previously, you had to work around the inability to self-reference by doing stuff like: preConfigure = '' configureFlags+=" --prefix $out --includedir=$dev" ''; or rely on ad-hoc variable interpolation semantics in Autoconf or Make (e.g. --prefix=\$(out)), which doesn't always work.

	Allow contexted strings in replaceStrings

2016-08-11	buildenv: perl -> c++	Shea Levy

2016-08-10	HttpBinaryCacheStore: Retry on transient HTTP errors	Eelco Dolstra
	This makes us more robust against 500 errors from CloudFront or S3 (assuming the 500 error isn't cached by CloudFront...).

2016-08-10	Mark content-addressed paths in the Nix database and in .narinfo	Eelco Dolstra
	This allows such paths to be imported without signatures.
2016-08-10	LocalFSStore::narFromPath(): Handle the diverted store case	Eelco Dolstra

2016-08-10	Add a "root" parameter to local stores	Eelco Dolstra
	This makes it easier to create a diverted store, i.e. NIX_REMOTE="local?root=/tmp/root" instead of NIX_REMOTE="local?real=/tmp/root/nix/store&state=/tmp/root/nix/var/nix" NIX_LOG_DIR=/tmp/root/nix/var/log
2016-08-10	Remove $NIX_DB_DIR	Eelco Dolstra
	This variable has no reason to exist, given $NIX_STATE_DIR.

2016-07-21	Fix assertion failure in ThreadPool::enqueue()	Eelco Dolstra

2016-07-21	Store::queryMissing(): Use a thread pool	Eelco Dolstra
	For one particular NixOS configuration, this cut the runtime of "nix-store -r --dry-run" from 6m51s to 3.4s. It also fixes a bug in the size calculation that was causing certain paths to be counted twice, e.g. before: these paths will be fetched (1249.98 MiB download, 2995.74 MiB unpacked): and after: these paths will be fetched (1219.56 MiB download, 2862.17 MiB unpacked):
2016-07-21	Store::computeFSClosure(): Use thread pool	Eelco Dolstra
	This speeds up queries against the binary cache.

2016-06-20	Re-implement negative binary cache lookup caching	Eelco Dolstra

2016-06-09	Run builds in a user namespace	Eelco Dolstra
	This way, all builds appear to have a uid/gid of 0 inside the chroot. In the future, this may allow using programs like systemd-nspawn inside builds, but that will require assigning a larger UID/GID map to the build. Issue #625.
2016-06-09	Use O_CLOEXEC in most places	Eelco Dolstra

2016-06-03	Fix "creating statement: table ValidPaths has no column named ultimate"	Eelco Dolstra

2016-06-03	Support sandbox builds by non-root users	Eelco Dolstra
	This allows an unprivileged user to perform builds on a diverted store (i.e. where the physical store location differs from the logical location). Example: $ NIX_LOG_DIR=/tmp/log NIX_REMOTE="local?real=/tmp/store&state=/tmp/var" nix-build -E \ 'with import <nixpkgs> {}; runCommand "foo" { buildInputs = [procps nettools]; } "id; ps; ifconfig; echo $out > $out"' will do a build in the Nix store physically in /tmp/store but logically in /nix/store (and thus using substituters for the latter).

2016-06-02	createTempDir(): Don't do a chown on Linux	Eelco Dolstra
	It's not needed and can cause problems in a user namespace.
2016-06-02	nix run: Mount the Nix store in a private namespace	Eelco Dolstra
	This is a convenience command to allow users who are not privileged to create /nix/store to use Nix with regular binary caches. For example, $ NIX_REMOTE="local?state=$HOME/nix/var&real=/$HOME/nix/store" nix run firefox bashInteractive will download Firefox and bash from cache.nixos.org, then start a shell in which $HOME/nix/store is mounted on /nix/store.
