2004-10-29	* Began adding build farm docs.	Eelco Dolstra	3	-0/+132

2004-10-25	* New language feature: with expressions.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-13/+21
	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.
2004-10-18	* 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.

2004-10-13	* 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.
2004-09-09	* Use setre[ug]id() instead of setres[ug]id(), since the former is	Eelco Dolstra	2	-26/+79
	more common than the latter (which exists only on Linux and FreeBSD). We don't really care about dropping the saved IDs since there apparently is no way to quiry them in any case, so it can't influence the build (unlike the effective IDs which are checked by Perl for instance).
