| 2010-01-29 | * Added an option "fsync-metadata" to fsync() changes to | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -1/+11 | |
| /nix/var/nix/db. * Removed the function writeStringToFile since it does (almost) the same thing as writeFile. | |||||
| 2009-12-09 | * Release notes. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -0/+40 | |
| 2009-11-23 | * A command `nix-store --query --roots <paths>' to find the garbage | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -1/+22 | |
| collector roots that point (directly or indirectly) to the given paths. | |||||
| 2009-11-20 | * Remove the --use-atime / --max-atime garbage collector flags. Many | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -45/+0 | |
| (Linux) machines no longer maintain the atime because it's too expensive, and on the machines where --use-atime is useful (like the buildfarm), reading the atimes on the entire Nix store takes way too much time to make it practical. | |||||
| 2009-11-06 | * Remove support for old (before Nix 0.12pre12020) databases. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -7/+0 | |
| 2009-11-05 | * Various updates. | Eelco Dolstra | 6 | -142/+62 | |
| 2009-11-04 | * Manual updates. | Eelco Dolstra | 2 | -2/+30 | |
| 2009-09-25 | (no commit message) | Eelco Dolstra | 3 | -3/+5 | |
| 2009-09-18 | * Use xmllint (>= 2.7.4) for RelaxNG validation instead of Jing. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -6/+2 | |
| 2009-07-14 | * Remove the redundant <sections> around refentries. | Eelco Dolstra | 16 | -68/+44 | |
| 2009-07-10 | * Leave out the collaborators / revision history page. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -1/+5 | |
| 2009-07-10 | (no commit message) | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -1/+1 | |
| 2009-06-30 | * Don't show trace information by default (`--show-trace' to enable). | Eelco Dolstra | 2 | -0/+9 | |
| NixOS evaluation errors in particular look intimidating and generally aren't very useful. Ideally the builtins.throw messages should be self-contained. | |||||
| 2009-06-13 | * Canonicalise timestamps in the Nix store to 1 (1970-01-01 00:00:01 | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -1/+1 | |
| UTC) rather than 0 (00:00:00). 1 is a better choice because some programs use 0 as a special value. For instance, the Template Toolkit uses a timestamp of 0 to denote the non-existence of a file, so it barfs on files in the Nix store (see template-toolkit-nix-store.patch in Nixpkgs). Similarly, Maya 2008 fails to load script directories with a timestamp of 0 and can't be patched because it's closed source. This will also shut up those "implausibly old time stamp" GNU tar warnings. | |||||
| 2009-05-26 | (no commit message) | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -0/+27 | |
| 2009-05-07 | * Don't have a bugs section in the manual. Bugs should be kept in the | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -1/+1 | |
| bug tracker. | |||||
| 2009-04-14 | * Remove references to __XXX primops. | Eelco Dolstra | 2 | -14/+4 | |
| 2009-04-14 | * Release notes. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -0/+60 | |
| 2009-03-28 | * Simplify communication with the hook a bit (don't use file | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -37/+14 | |
| descriptors 3/4, just use stdin/stderr). | |||||
| 2009-02-05 | documentation for previous commit | Marc Weber | 1 | -0/+30 | |
| 2008-11-29 | * Install the release notes. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -0/+4 | |
| 2008-11-20 | (no commit message) | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -1/+2 | |
| 2008-11-19 | * Patterns. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -31/+73 | |
| 2008-11-19 | (no commit message) | Eelco Dolstra | 2 | -1/+62 | |
| 2008-11-19 | * Updated the manual. | Eelco Dolstra | 2 | -3/+134 | |
| 2008-11-19 | * Documented some of the sharing mechanisms. | Eelco Dolstra | 7 | -5/+144 | |
| 2008-11-19 | * Install documentation in $(docdir) (i.e. share/doc/nix). | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -6/+6 | |
| 2008-11-19 | * Remove references to Berkeley DB, including most of the | Eelco Dolstra | 4 | -143/+17 | |
| troubleshooting section. W00t. | |||||
| 2008-11-19 | * Release notes. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -18/+138 | |
| 2008-11-18 | * Get rid of nix-pack-closure / nix-unpack-closure, they're redundant. | Eelco Dolstra | 5 | -133/+7 | |
| 2008-08-05 | * Moved some stuff to the Nixpkgs manual. | Eelco Dolstra | 2 | -162/+22 | |
| * Updated the release notes. | |||||
| 2008-07-11 | * Generalised the dependencyClosure primop to builtins.genericClosure, | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -2/+7 | |
| which is hopefully more useful. * New primops: length, mul, div. | |||||
| 2008-07-01 | * Export the nix-env derivation name parsing and version comparison | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -0/+6 | |
| logic through the `parseDrvName' and `compareVersions' primops. This will allow expressions to easily check whether some dependency is a specific needed version or falls in some version range. See tests/lang/eval-okay-versions.nix for examples. | |||||
| 2008-06-11 | * Updated some URLs. | Eelco Dolstra | 4 | -17/+19 | |
| 2008-06-09 | * Updated some URLs (did this a long time ago but forgot to | Eelco Dolstra | 4 | -34/+30 | |
| commit...). | |||||
| 2008-01-29 | * nix-store --dump-db / --load-db to dump/load the Nix DB. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -0/+13 | |
| * nix-store --register-validity: option to supply the content hash of each path. * Removed compatibility with Nix <= 0.7 stores. | |||||

| 2007-12-31 | * More documentation. | Eelco Dolstra | 5 | -21/+212 | |
| 2007-12-31 | * Documented a bunch of nix-store commands. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -0/+174 | |

| 2007-12-31 | * More release notes. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -0/+44 | |
| 2007-12-30 | * Documented indented string literals. | Eelco Dolstra | 3 | -43/+193 | |
| * Release notes. | |||||
| 2007-12-04 | * component -> package. | Eelco Dolstra | 8 | -98/+97 | |
| 2007-11-30 | * Added a new kind of multi-line string literal delimited by two | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -0/+4 | |
| single quotes. Example (from NixOS): job = '' start on network-interfaces start script rm -f /var/run/opengl-driver ${if videoDriver == "nvidia" then "ln -sf ${nvidiaDrivers} /var/run/opengl-driver" else if cfg.driSupport then "ln -sf ${mesa} /var/run/opengl-driver" else "" } rm -f /var/log/slim.log end script ''; This style has two big advantages: - \, ' and " aren't special, only '' and ${. So you get a lot less escaping in shell scripts / configuration files in Nixpkgs/NixOS. The delimiter '' is rare in scripts (and can usually be written as ""). ${ is also fairly rare. Other delimiters such as <<...>>, {{...}} and <|...|> were also considered but this one appears to have the fewest drawbacks (thanks Martin). - Indentation is intelligently stripped so that multi-line strings can follow the nesting structure of the containing Nix expression. E.g. in the example above 6 spaces are stripped from the start of each line. This prevents unnecessary indentation in generated files (which sometimes even breaks things). See tests/lang/eval-okay-ind-string.nix for some examples. | |||||
| 2007-11-29 | * Troubleshooting entry about running out of locks. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -1/+43 | |
| 2007-11-21 | * New primop `readFile' to get the contents of a file as a string. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -0/+9 | |
| 2007-11-01 | * A rule to make a PDF version of the manual. | Eelco Dolstra | 1 | -0/+8 | |
| 2007-11-01 | * Documented some of the more obscure derivation attributes (including | Eelco Dolstra | 3 | -14/+250 | |
| fixed-output derivations). | |||||
| 2007-10-31 | * Documented multi-user Nix. | Eelco Dolstra | 4 | -46/+271 | |
