2012-07-30	Pass configuration settings to the substituters	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+9
	Previously substituters could read nix.conf themselves, but this didn't take --option flags into account.
2012-07-11	Set the User-Agent header to "Nix/<version>"	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+2

2012-07-09	download-from-binary-cache: add nix.conf options	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+3

2012-06-29	First attempt at the manifest-less substituter	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+1

2012-06-29	Use XZ compression in binary caches	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+2
	XZ compresses significantly better than bzip2. Here are the compression ratios and execution times (using 4 cores in parallel) on my /var/run/current-system (3.1 GiB): bzip2: total compressed size 849.56 MiB, 30.8% [2m08] xz -6: total compressed size 641.84 MiB, 23.4% [6m53] xz -7: total compressed size 621.82 MiB, 22.6% [7m19] xz -8: total compressed size 599.33 MiB, 21.8% [7m18] xz -9: total compressed size 588.18 MiB, 21.4% [7m40] Note that compression takes much longer. More importantly, however, decompression is much faster: bzip2: 1m47.274s xz -6: 0m55.446s xz -7: 0m54.119s xz -8: 0m52.388s xz -9: 0m51.842s The only downside to using -9 is that decompression takes a fair amount (~65 MB) of memory.
2012-05-10	Support building with the Perl XS bindings disabled	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+2
	Since the Perl bindings require shared libraries, this is required on platforms such as Cygwin where we do a static build.
2012-01-03	* Add a test for nix-channel.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+1
	* Refactor the nix-channel unpacker a bit.
2011-11-23	* build-remote.pl: drop a hard-coded reference to /nix/etc/nix.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+1

2011-10-10	* Install NixManifest.pm, NixConfig.pm and GeneratePatches.pm under	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+25
	the Nix:: namespace.
