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	iterate through fat_headers correctly	Jude Taylor

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.

2016-08-11	nix-build: extend the meaning of $IN_NIX_SHELL	Vladimír Čunát
	An equivalent was originally filed against the perl version: https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/933

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	Show HTTP error codes	Eelco Dolstra

2016-08-10	SQLite:: Add some convenience	Eelco Dolstra

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.
2016-08-10	RemoteStore / nix-daemon: Drop support for Nix < 1.0	Eelco Dolstra

2016-08-09	nix-build: Port to c++	Shea Levy
	This was a dumb line-for-line rewrite, because nix build/nix run/etc. will replace it.
2016-07-26	makeFixedOutputPath(): Drop superfluous HashType argument	Eelco Dolstra

2016-07-26	builtins.{fetchurl,fetchTarball}: Support a sha256 attribute	Eelco Dolstra
	Also, allow builtins.{fetchurl,fetchTarball} in restricted mode if a hash is specified.
2016-07-25	override rx directory permissions in deletePath()	Dmitry Kalinkin
	This fixes instantiation of pythonPackages.pytest that produces a directory with less permissions during one of it's tests that leads to a nix error like: error: opening directory ‘/tmp/nix-build-python2.7-pytest-2.9.2.drv-0/pytest-of-user/pytest-0/testdir/test_cache_failure_warns0/.cache’: Permission denied

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.

2016-07-11	Modernize AutoCloseFD	Shea Levy

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).
