2004-11-03	* Don't propagate our CFLAGS to the ATerm library since it breaks at	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+1

2004-11-01	* Profiles section.	Eelco Dolstra	3	-16/+165

2004-10-31	* Document setuid Nix installs.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-7/+46

2004-10-31	* Add figures to `make install' / `make dist'.	Eelco Dolstra	3	-2/+6

2004-10-31	* Fix `File exists' errors if the `result' symlink exists but is	Eelco Dolstra	1	-5/+4
	dangling.
2004-10-29	* Began adding build farm docs.	Eelco Dolstra	3	-0/+132

2004-10-29	* Drop ATmake / ATMatcher also in handling store expressions.	Eelco Dolstra	19	-258/+118

2004-10-27	* Use `atdiff' instead of `cmp' for checking test output.	Eelco Dolstra	5	-5/+9
	* Don't use local file names in tests since they will produce different parse trees depending on the current directory.
2004-10-27	* Bug fix in parsing of /* ... */ comments; due to longest match	Eelco Dolstra	4	-2/+14
	regexp there could be only one such comment per file.
2004-10-27	* Remove ancient Fix tests.	Eelco Dolstra	32	-87/+145
	* Add automated Nix expression language tests.
2004-10-27	* Turn on read-only mode in queries. This prevents redundant store I/O.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+2

2004-10-27	* Oops, I did it again.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+2

2004-10-27	* Add file to `make dist'.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2004-10-26	* Bug: check that term is an application.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-1/+3

2004-10-26	* Don't use ATmake / ATmatch anymore, nor the ATMatcher class.	Eelco Dolstra	11	-304/+410
	Instead we generate data bindings (build and match functions) for the constructors specified in `constructors.def'. In particular this removes the conversions between AFuns and strings, and Nix expression evaluation now seems 3 to 4 times faster.
2004-10-26	* Evaluate argument to `import'.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+2

2004-10-26	* Doh!	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2004-10-26	* String/path concatenation operator (`+').	Eelco Dolstra	6	-5/+43

2004-10-26	* Mode `--parse-only' to parse the input (on stdin, `-'), and print	Eelco Dolstra	1	-8/+28
	out the AST as an ATerm. * Mode `--eval-only' to parse and evaluate the input, and print the resulting normal form as an ATerm. Neither of these modes require store/DB write permission.
2004-10-25	* New language feature: with expressions.	Eelco Dolstra	7	-27/+61
	The expression `with E1; E2' evaluates to E2 with all bindings in the attribute set E1 substituted. E.g., with {x = 123;}; x evaluates to 123. That is, the attribute set E1 is in scope in E2. This is particularly useful when importing files containing lots definitions. E.g., instead of let { inherit (import ./foo.nix) a b c d e f; body = ... a ... f ...; } we can now say with import ./foo.nix; ... a ... f ... I.e., we don't have to say what variables should be brought into scope.
2004-10-25	* Allow certain operations to succeed even if we don't have write	Eelco Dolstra	9	-16/+58
	permission to the Nix store or database. E.g., `nix-env -qa' will work, but `nix-env -qas' won't (the latter needs DB access). The option `--readonly-mode' forces this mode; otherwise, it's only activated when the database cannot be opened.
2004-10-25	* Revert r1594 - it didn't solve the problem. Instead add	Eelco Dolstra	3	-4/+5
	svn-revision to distributions, which should fix it.
2004-10-25	* Make sure that the prerelease version is included in `--version'.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-1/+3

2004-10-21	* Updated NEWS for the upcoming 0.6 release.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+62

2004-10-20	* Register channels as roots of the garbage collector (in	Eelco Dolstra	2	-3/+22
	$(localstatedir)/nix/gcroots/channels). * In setuid installations, create gcroots/tmp and gcroots/channels group-writable.
2004-10-20	* Fix nix-prefetch-url in setuid Nix installations.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-9/+20

2004-10-20	* Show error messages from curl.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2004-10-18	* Instead of — use the actual Unicode character. By the way, to	Eelco Dolstra	3	-15/+15
	edit the manual, you should have something like (modify-coding-system-alist 'file "\\.xml\\>" 'utf-8) in your ~/.emacs.
2004-10-14	* Rewrite of package management stuff.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-200/+161

2004-10-14	* In `nix-env -q', sort derivations by name without case	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+9
	sensitivity.
2004-10-14	* Split overview chapter into a chapter on package management and a	Eelco Dolstra	6	-455/+384
	chapter on writing Nix expressions.
2004-10-14	* Unindent.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-164/+126

2004-10-13	* Updated the quick start section. Use channels instead of	Eelco Dolstra	1	-105/+83
	downloading Nix expressions and calling nix-pull. This is so user-friendly that even a Mac user can do it! :-)
2004-10-13	* Better introduction.	Eelco Dolstra	3	-120/+123
	* Set notes in a different color than warnings.
2004-09-22	* Make store objects created by substitutes read-only.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+2

2004-09-19	* prevent collision on log directory	Niels Janssen	1	-1/+2

2004-09-12	* Fallback didn't work for subderivations of an unnormalised the main	Eelco Dolstra	1	-44/+7
	derivation, since NormalisationGoal would first run a NormalisationGoal on the subderivation (a no-op, since in a situation where we need fallback the successor is known), and then runs a RealisationGoal on the normal form, which then cannot do a fallback because it doesn't know the derivation expression for which it is a normal form. Tossed out the 2-phase normalisation/realisation in NormalisationGoal and SubstitutionGoal since it's no longer needed - a RealisationGoal will run a NormalisationGoal if necessary.
