2006-05-01	* Allow string concatenations involving derivations, e.g.,	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+5
	configureFlags = "--with-freetype2-library=" + freetype + "/lib";
2006-03-23	* In `nix-env', look for derivations inside attribute sets that have	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+1
	the `recurseForDerivations' attribute set to `true'.
2006-03-10	* `nix-env -qa --description' shows human-readable descriptions of	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+1
	packages (provided that they have a `meta.description' attribute). E.g., $ ./src/nix-env/nix-env -qa --description gcc gcc-4.0.2 GNU Compiler Collection, 4.0.x (cross-compiler for sparc-linux) gcc-4.0.2 GNU Compiler Collection, 4.0.x (cross-compiler for mips-linux) gcc-4.0.2 GNU Compiler Collection, 4.0.x (cross-compiler for arm-linux) gcc-4.0.2 GNU Compiler Collection, 4.0.x
2006-03-09	* Big speedup (factor > 2.5) in all nix-env operations that do actual	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+5
	instantiation, e.g. "nix-env -i" and "nix-env -qas" (but not "nix-env -qa"). It turns out that many redundant calls to addToStore(path) were made, which reads and hashes the entire path. For instance, the bash bootstrap binary in Nixpkgs would be read and hashed many times. As a result nix-env would spend around 92% of its time in the function sha256_block (according to callgrind). Some simple memoization fixes this.
2006-03-08	* Some refactoring of the exception handling code so that we can catch	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+4
	Nix expression assertion failures.
2005-07-25	* Added a list concatenation operator:	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+1
	[1 2 3] ++ [4 5 6] => [1 2 3 4 5 6]
2004-10-25	* Allow certain operations to succeed even if we don't have write	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2
	permission to the Nix store or database. E.g., `nix-env -qa' will work, but `nix-env -qas' won't (the latter needs DB access). The option `--readonly-mode' forces this mode; otherwise, it's only activated when the database cannot be opened.
2004-08-04	* Allow primops with more that 1 arguments.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-7/+8

2004-02-04	* Use a map to lookup primops.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+11
	* Various performance improvements in the evaluator. * Do not link against unused (and missing!) libraries (-lsglr, etc.).
2003-11-19	* Refactoring: put the Nix expression evaluator in its own library so	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+42
	that it can be used by multiple programs.
