2012-02-04	* Inline some functions and get rid of the indirection through	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	EvalState::eval(). This gives a 12% speedup on ‘nix-instantiate /etc/nixos/nixos/ -A system --readonly-mode’ (from 1.01s to 0.89s).
2012-01-07	* Don't create thunks for simple constants (integers, strings, paths)	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	and allocate them only once. * Move Value and related functions into value.hh.
2011-08-06	* Refactoring: move parseExprFromFile() and parseExprFromString() into	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	the EvalState class.
2011-02-09	Use $BDW_GC_LIBS instead of a custom variable.	Ludovic Courtès	1	-1/+1

2010-10-22	* Store Value nodes outside of attribute sets. I.e., Attr now stores	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	a pointer to a Value, rather than the Value directly. This improves the effectiveness of garbage collection a lot: if the Value is stored inside the set directly, then any live pointer to the Value causes all other attributes in the set to be live as well.
2010-10-22	* Make building against the Boehm GC a configure option.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+1

2010-10-20	* Use the Boehm garbage collector to reclaim unused memory in the Nix	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+2
	expression evaluator.
2010-04-23	* Don't need the test program anymore.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-8/+0

2010-04-19	* Drop the dependency on the ATerm library.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-4/+2

2010-04-13	* Use a symbol table to represent identifiers and attribute names	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	efficiently. The symbol table ensures that there is only one copy of each symbol, thus allowing symbols to be compared efficiently using a pointer equality test.
2010-04-12	* Don't use ATerms for the abstract syntax trees anymore. Not	Eelco Dolstra	1	-12/+3
	finished yet.
2010-04-07	* expr-to-xml -> value-to-xml.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2

2010-03-23	* Start of an evaluator that uses call-by-need (with thunk updating)	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+8
	instead of (memoised) call-by-name.
2009-11-06	* Remove support for old (before Nix 0.12pre12020) databases.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2009-03-06	(no commit message)	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2008-07-01	* Export the nix-env derivation name parsing and version comparison	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+4
	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.
2007-01-14	* Option --argstr for passing string arguments easily. (NIX-75)	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2

2006-09-04	* Move setuid stuff to libutil.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-6/+7
	* Install libexpr header files.
2006-09-04	* Install header files in /nix/include/nix.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+4

2006-09-04	* Compile the lexer as C++ code. Remove all the redundant C/C++	Eelco Dolstra	1	-5/+5
	marshalling code.
2006-09-04	* Use a proper namespace.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-4/+4
	* Optimise header file usage a bit. * Compile the parser as C++.
2006-09-04	* Store the Nix libraries in ${libdir}/nix instead of ${libdir}.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2006-08-24	* Refactoring.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+2

2006-07-26	* Refactoring: get the selection path stuff out of getDerivations()	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+2
	and put it into a separate function findAlongAttrPath().
2006-05-12	* Support for srcdir != builddir (NIX-41).	Eelco Dolstra	1	-9/+8

2006-02-08	* Refactoring: move derivation evaluation to libexpr.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+2

2005-10-29	* Turn off build hooks in nix-push because of an impurity (NIX-21).	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2005-07-22	* Build dynamic libraries.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2

2005-07-16	* Revive and update the SDF grammar for Nix expressions.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+8

2005-01-27	* Missing dependency; only a problem when building from Subversion.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2004-10-29	* Drop ATmake / ATMatcher also in handling store expressions.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-6/+5

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	* Don't use ATmake / ATmatch anymore, nor the ATMatcher class.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+11
	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.
2004-08-04	* Allow primops with more that 1 arguments.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2004-02-16	* Allow linking against an external Berkeley DB / ATerm library.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2

2004-01-30	* Doh!	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+3

2004-01-30	* Parser numbers again.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	* Include missing files in distributions.
2004-01-30	* Detect flex and bison; updated the manual.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+4

2004-01-30	* Replaced the SDF parser by a substantially faster Bison/Flex	Eelco Dolstra	1	-8/+10
	parser (roughly 80x faster). The absolutely latest version of Bison (1.875c) is required for reentrant GLR support, as well as a recent version of Flex (say, 2.5.31). Note that most Unix distributions ship with the prehistoric Flex 2.5.4, which doesn't support reentrancy.
2003-11-25	* More `make dist' fixes.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+2

2003-11-19	* Refactoring (step 2).	Eelco Dolstra	1	-6/+3

2003-11-19	* Refactoring: put the Nix expression evaluator in its own library so	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+22
	that it can be used by multiple programs.
