2006-09-01	* New primop: builtins.toFile, which writes a string into the store	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+14
	and returns its path. This can be used to (for instance) write builders inside a Nix expression, e.g., stdenv.mkDerivation { builder = " source $stdenv/setup ... "; ... }
2006-09-01	* Allow "$" in strings as long as they are not followed by "{". (Too	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+5
	bad flex doesn't have lexical restrictions, the current solution isn't quite right...)
2006-08-30	* Okay, that's a bit harder than expected.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-9/+19

2006-08-30	* Uninitialised variable.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2006-08-29	* Support singleton values and nested lists again in `args', but print	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+5
	a warning.
2006-08-29	* Fix the ~ operator.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-3/+13

2006-08-28	* In toString, deal with nested lists properly (i.e., flatten them).	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+21

2006-08-28	* Removed processBinding, instead we now apply toString to all	Eelco Dolstra	2	-139/+139
	derivation attributes to flatten them into strings. This is possible since string can nowadays be wrapped in contexts that describe the derivations/sources referenced by the evaluation of the string.
2006-08-26	* Refactoring.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-6/+1

2006-08-25	* Remove those storePath attribute sets, we don't need 'em.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-12/+1

2006-08-24	* New primop __toXML (or builtins.toXML) to convert an expression to	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+10
	an XML representation stored in a string. This should be useful to pass structured information to builders.
2006-08-24	* Refactoring.	Eelco Dolstra	3	-1/+107

2006-08-24	* Strict evaluation and XML printing of lists.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+9

2006-08-24	* Refactoring: move strictEval to libexpr.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-0/+47

2006-08-23	* Pass the autoArgs to findAlongAttrPath so that "nix-instantiate	Eelco Dolstra	2	-3/+5
	foo.nix -A attr --arg name value" will work if (name, value) is needed in the evaluation leading up to "attr".
2006-08-23	* Quotes.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2006-08-23	* New primop: abort "error message".	Eelco Dolstra	3	-2/+11

2006-08-23	* A new primop `builtins', which returns an attribute set containing	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+26
	all the primops. This allows Nix expressions to test for new primops and take appropriate action if they're not available. For instance, rather than calling a primop `foo' directly, they could say `if builtins ? foo then builtins.foo ... else ...'.
2006-08-16	* Handle carriage returns. Fixes NIX-53.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-5/+14

2006-08-09	* Print a warning that the subpath operator (~) is deprecated.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+5

2006-08-04	* Fix a few warnings.	Eelco Dolstra	4	-5/+5

2006-07-28	* `nix-instantiate ... --arg NAME VALUE': allow arguments to be passed	Eelco Dolstra	5	-15/+23
	to functions from the command line. * nix-build: started removing backticks.
2006-07-28	* `nix-instantiate --print-args': print out the valid values for	Eelco Dolstra	2	-0/+26
	functions arguments that have a domain.
2006-07-26	* Refactoring: get the selection path stuff out of getDerivations()	Eelco Dolstra	7	-102/+150
	and put it into a separate function findAlongAttrPath().
2006-07-25	* `nix-instantiate --print-args' prints out the arguments of a	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+3
	top-level function.
2006-07-25	* Applied rbroek's patch from the branch at	Eelco Dolstra	2	-15/+30
	https://svn.cs.uu.nl:12443/repos/trace/buildfarm-control/trunk/ext/nix/, with some modifications. This allows `nix-env -qa' to show the attribute path that can be used to unambiguously install a package using `nix-env -i -A'. Example: $ nix-env -f top-level/all-packages.nix -qaA subversion xorg-server subversionWithJava subversion-1.2.3 subversion subversion-1.3.2 subversion14 subversion-1.4.0pre-rc1 xorg.xorgserver xorg-server-1.1.0
2006-07-24	* When there is a domain check, we have to evaluate the argument.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+1
	Can't be lazy!
2006-07-24	* New language feature: domain checks, which check whether a function	Eelco Dolstra	3	-13/+33
	argument has a valid value, i.e., is in a certain domain. E.g., { foo : [true false] , bar : ["a" "b" "c"] }: ... This previously could be done using assertions, but domain checks will allow the buildfarm to automatically extract the configuration space from functions.
2006-07-24	* Refactoring to support domain checks.	Eelco Dolstra	7	-26/+33

2006-07-19	* Better error messages (especially wrt types).	Eelco Dolstra	7	-62/+96

2006-07-11	* Doh! Of couse we cannot memoize across scopes.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-4/+8

2006-05-30	* Don't use badTerm, it gives awful error messages.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+2

2006-05-12	* Support for srcdir != builddir (NIX-41).	Eelco Dolstra	1	-9/+8

2006-05-11	* 64-bit compatibility fixes (for problems revealed by building on an Athlon	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2
	64 running 64-bit SUSE). A patched ATerm library is required to run Nix succesfully.
2006-05-08	* Allow function argument default values to refer to other arguments	Eelco Dolstra	1	-35/+40
	of the function. Implements NIX-45.
2006-05-08	* Show evaluation stats when NIX_SHOW_STATS=1.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+4

2006-05-04	* Use the new ATermMap.	Eelco Dolstra	6	-223/+71

2006-05-02	* Optimise null-ary term builders. Also declare all term builder	Eelco Dolstra	2	-6/+2
	functions as pure, which might improve performance a bit.
2006-05-02	* Use a linked list of substitutions. This reduces the amount of	Eelco Dolstra	4	-19/+54
	copying.
2006-05-02	* Removed a bunch of ATreverses.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2006-05-02	* Huge reduction in memory use (2/3 or so on large nix-env -qas	Eelco Dolstra	2	-9/+11
	operations): share ATermMaps between DrvInfos.
2006-05-02	* Memory reduction: replaced expensive calls to ATmakeApplList by	Eelco Dolstra	1	-11/+16
	ATmakeApplArray, and got rid of ATreverse in substitute().
2006-05-02	* Some preliminaries towards NIX-45.	Eelco Dolstra	3	-10/+35

2006-05-01	* Disallow unescaped $ in string literals.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-4/+1

2006-05-01	* String interpolation. Expressions like	Eelco Dolstra	5	-13/+78
	"--with-freetype2-library=" + freetype + "/lib" can now be written as "--with-freetype2-library=${freetype}/lib" An arbitrary expression can be enclosed within ${...}, not just identifiers. * Escaping in string literals: \n, \r, \t interpreted as in C, any other character following \ is interpreted as-is. * Newlines are now allowed in string literals.
2006-05-01	* Allow string concatenations involving derivations, e.g.,	Eelco Dolstra	5	-14/+125
	configureFlags = "--with-freetype2-library=" + freetype + "/lib";
2006-03-24	* Print a more useful stack trace when an error occurs deep in the	Eelco Dolstra	1	-4/+10
	derivation dependency graph.
2006-03-23	* In `nix-env', look for derivations inside attribute sets that have	Eelco Dolstra	2	-1/+16
	the `recurseForDerivations' attribute set to `true'.
2006-03-23	* Hm.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+1

2006-03-10	* `nix-env -qa --description' shows human-readable descriptions of	Eelco Dolstra	4	-23/+62
	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
