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
2006-03-10	* In theory, this should reduce the number of ATermMap	Eelco Dolstra	2	-3/+4
	re-allocations.
2006-03-09	* Regression: semantics of the result of getDerivation() changed.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2

2006-03-09	* Big speedup (factor > 2.5) in all nix-env operations that do actual	Eelco Dolstra	2	-3/+14
	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	* When obtaining derivations from Nix expressions, ignore all	Eelco Dolstra	2	-35/+57
	expressions that cause an assertion failure (like `assert system == "i686-linux"'). This allows all-packages.nix in Nixpkgs to be used on all platforms, even if some Nix expressions don't work on all platforms. Not sure if this is a good idea; it's a bit hacky. In particular, due to laziness some derivations might appear in `nix-env -qa' but disappear in `nix-env -qas' or `nix-env -i'. Commit 5000!
2006-03-08	* Some refactoring of the exception handling code so that we can catch	Eelco Dolstra	3	-17/+29
	Nix expression assertion failures.
2006-03-06	* GCC 4.1 compatibility.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2006-03-06	* `nix-env (-i\|-u) --dry-run' now shows exactly which missing paths	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+1
	will be built or substituted.
2006-02-13	* Override YYMALLOC and YYFREE so that we can call AT[un]protectMemory	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+20
	on the Bison parse stack. Otherwise, a garbage collect during parsing could lead to a crash.
2006-02-10	* In nix-instantiate, allow us to specify a "path" to the	Eelco Dolstra	2	-27/+76
	derivation(s) we're interested, e.g., $ nix-instantiate ./all-packages.nix --attr xlibs.libX11 List elements can also be selected: $ nix-instantiate ./build-for-release.nix --attr 0.subversion This allows a non-ambiguous specification of a derivation. Of course, this should also be added to nix-env and nix-build.
2006-02-08	* When querying all derivations, filter out syntactically equal derivations.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-12/+36

2006-02-08	* When evaluating, automatically call functions with default arguments.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-4/+23

2006-02-08	* Refactoring: move derivation evaluation to libexpr.	Eelco Dolstra	3	-1/+133

2005-11-04	* Memoise checkVarDefs since internally produced terms (i.e., not the	Eelco Dolstra	1	-9/+24
	result of parsing) can have very heavy sharing, causing exponential complexity if we naively recurse into them. ATerms are graphs, not trees!
2005-10-29	* Turn off build hooks in nix-push because of an impurity (NIX-21).	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
