2012-04-06	Include common options in the manpages using some XInclude hackery	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2011-12-30	* Follow our own coding conventions.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2

2011-06-30	Add support for the `build-timeout' and `--timeout' options.	Ludovic Courtès	1	-0/+10

2010-08-17	* Document --cores in the manual.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+19

2009-06-30	* Don't show trace information by default (`--show-trace' to enable).	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+8
	NixOS evaluation errors in particular look intimidating and generally aren't very useful. Ideally the builtins.throw messages should be self-contained.
2009-04-14	* Remove references to __XXX primops.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2

2007-12-31	* More documentation.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+11

2006-10-05	* Documented nix-instantiate --xml, --strict.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	* Added an example to the nix-build section.
2006-10-05	* Documented --attr / -A.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+28

2006-10-05	* Document --arg.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+40

2006-10-05	* Manual.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+6

2006-10-03	* Document the built-in functions.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+3

2006-08-21	* Convert to DocBook 5.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-4/+7
	* Use Jing for RelaxNG validation, xmllint seems buggy.
2005-04-10	* Manual updates.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-5/+10

2005-04-08	* Lots of manual updates, in particular the new `nix-store --query'	Eelco Dolstra	1	-14/+16
	options were documented, as well as the Nix configuration file.
2005-04-07	* Build hook documentation.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	* nix-store options.
2005-03-16	* Documented common environment variables.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-150/+171

2005-03-15	* XInclude all the way.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+4

2004-11-12	* Document --eval-only and --parse-only options in nix-instantiate.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+11

2004-08-18	* The default verbosity level of all Nix commands is now lvlInfo.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-7/+6
	* Builder output is written to standard error by default. * The option `-B' is gone. * The option `-Q' suppresses builder output. The result of this is that most Nix invocations shouldn't need any flags w.r.t. logging.
2004-06-28	* Added a switch `--fallback'. From the manual:	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+25
	Whenever Nix attempts to realise a derivation for which a closure is already known, but this closure cannot be realised, fall back on normalising the derivation. The most common scenario in which this is useful is when we have registered substitutes in order to perform binary distribution from, say, a network repository. If the repository is down, the realisation of the derivation will fail. When this option is specified, Nix will build the derivation instead. Thus, binary installation falls back on a source installation. This option is not the default since it is generally not desirable for a transient failure in obtaining the substitutes to lead to a full build from source (with the related consumption of resources).
2004-06-25	* A flag `--keep-going / -k' to keep building goals if one fails, as	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+27
	much as possible. (This is similar to GNU Make's `-k' flag.) * Refactoring to implement this: previously we just bombed out when a build failed, but now we have to clean up. In particular this means that goals must be freed quickly --- they shouldn't hang around until the worker exits. So the worker now maintains weak pointers in order not to prevent garbage collection. * Documented the `-k' and `-j' flags.
2004-02-02	* Sort `nix-env -q' output by derivation name.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+122
	* `--version' flag for all commands. * Manual updates.
