2007-01-29	* Don't capitalise the primop functions.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-76/+81

2007-01-29	* Organise primops.cc a bit better.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-321/+376

2007-01-29	New primitives:	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+43
	* `sub' to subtract two numbers. * `stringLength' to get the length of a string. * `substring' to get a substring of a string. These should be enough to allow most string operations to be expressed.
2007-01-29	* filterSource: pass strings to the predicate function instead of	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	paths. Paths can have unexpected semantics.
2007-01-15	* Handle multiple indirect symlinks when loading a Nix expression.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+6

2007-01-15	* builtins.filterSource: pass the type of the file ("regular",	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+18
	"directory", "symlink") as the second argument to the filter predicate.
2007-01-14	* Option --argstr for passing string arguments easily. (NIX-75)	Eelco Dolstra	3	-2/+51

2007-01-13	* Canonicalise ASTs in `nix-instantiate --eval': remove position	Eelco Dolstra	2	-0/+44
	info, sort attribute sets.
2007-01-13	* Memoize strict evaluation.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-13/+29

2007-01-13	* printTermAsXML: treat derivations specially; emit an element	Eelco Dolstra	1	-11/+55
	<derivation outPath=... drvPath=...> attrs </derivation>. Only emit the attributes of any specific derivation only. This prevents exponententially large XML output due to the absense of sharing.
2007-01-13	* Make printing an expression as XML interruptible.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-0/+7

2007-01-13	* Cleanup.	Eelco Dolstra	5	-15/+15

2006-12-13	* Remove debug message.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+0

2006-12-12	* New primop builtins.filterSource, which can be used to filter files	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+38
	from a source directory. All files for which a predicate function returns true are copied to the store. Typical example is to leave out the .svn directory: stdenv.mkDerivation { ... src = builtins.filterSource (path: baseNameOf (toString path) != ".svn") ./source-dir; # as opposed to # src = ./source-dir; } This is important because the .svn directory influences the hash in a rather unpredictable and variable way.
2006-12-12	* New built-in function `builtins.attrNames' that returns the	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+21
	names of the attributes in an attribute set.
2006-12-02	* Remove SwitchToOriginalUser, we're not going to need it anymore.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+0

2006-12-01	* Replace read-only calls to addTextToStore.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+3

2006-12-01	* Merge addToStore and addToStoreFixed.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+4
	* addToStore now adds unconditionally, it doesn't use readOnlyMode. Read-only operation is up to the caller (who can call computeStorePathForPath).
2006-11-30	* Put building in the store API.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+1

2006-11-30	* Refactoring. There is now an abstract interface class StoreAPI	Eelco Dolstra	2	-5/+5
	containing functions that operate on the Nix store. One implementation is LocalStore, which operates on the Nix store directly. The next step, to enable secure multi-user Nix, is to create a different implementation RemoteStore that talks to a privileged daemon process that uses LocalStore to perform the actual operations.
2006-11-03	* Fix importing of derivation outputs.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+9

2006-10-23	* Some better error messages.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-5/+12

2006-10-19	* Better message.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2006-10-19	* toFile: maintain the references.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-10/+4

2006-10-17	* Backwards compatibility hack for user environments made by Nix <= 0.10.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+7

2006-10-17	* Backwards compatibility with old user environment manifests.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+2

2006-10-17	* Print out the offending path.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+3

2006-10-17	* An awful backwards compatibility hack.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+24

2006-10-17	* baseNameOf: paths don't have to be absolute.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2006-10-17	* toPath: should be the identity on paths.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+1

2006-10-17	* dirOf: return a path if the argument is a path.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+6

2006-10-17	* toString: don't copy paths. So toString can be used to pass	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+4
	non-store paths to a builder.
2006-10-17	* Do the path check on the normal form.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+5

2006-10-16	* Big cleanup of the semantics of paths, strings, contexts, string	Eelco Dolstra	11	-370/+303
	concatenation and string coercion. This was a big mess (see e.g. NIX-67). Contexts are now folded into strings, so that they don't cause evaluation errors when they're not expected. The semantics of paths has been clarified (see nixexpr-ast.def). toString() and coerceToString() have been merged. Semantic change: paths are now copied to the store when they're in a concatenation (and in most other situations - that's the formalisation of the meaning of a path). So "foo " + ./bla evaluates to "foo /nix/store/hash...-bla", not "foo /path/to/current-dir/bla". This prevents accidental impurities, and is more consistent with the treatment of derivation outputs, e.g., `"foo " + bla' where `bla' is a derivation. (Here `bla' would be replaced by the output path of `bla'.)
2006-10-11	* Removed URIs from the evaluator (NIX-66). They are now just another	Eelco Dolstra	6	-13/+4
	kind of notation for strings.
2006-10-10	* Quick hack to fix NIX-67: evaluation result differing if the Nix	Eelco Dolstra	2	-13/+16
	expression resides in the store.
2006-10-10	* `import': unwrap the context. Necessary to make `import (x + y)'	Eelco Dolstra	1	-13/+14
	work, where x is a store path.
2006-10-03	* toXML: propagate the context to allow derivations to be used in the	Eelco Dolstra	3	-9/+18
	argument.
2006-10-03	* toFile: added an additional argument to specify the store path	Eelco Dolstra	3	-4/+40
	suffix, e.g., `builtins.toFile "builder.sh" "..."'. * toFile: handle references to other files correctly.
2006-10-02	* Finally, a real "let" syntax: `let x = ...; ... z = ...; in ...'.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-1/+4

2006-10-02	* Hack for Bison 2.3 compatability.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-2/+14

2006-09-24	* The result of a concatenation with a derivation on the left-hand	Eelco Dolstra	2	-4/+13
	side should be a path, I guess. * Handle paths that are in the store but not direct children of the store directory. * Ugh, hack to prevent double context wrapping.
2006-09-24	* Primop `toPath' to convert a string to a path.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-7/+26
	* Primop `pathExists' to check for path existence.
2006-09-24	* Builtin function `getEnv' for getting environment variables.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-6/+18

2006-09-24	* lessThan primitive for integer comparison.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+9

2006-09-22	* Builtin function `add' to add integers.	Eelco Dolstra	3	-0/+20
	* Put common test functions in tests/lang/lib.nix.
2006-09-22	* Added a builtin function `isList' to test whether a value is a list.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+9
	With this primitive, a list-flattening function can be implemented (NIX-55, example is in tests/lang/eval-okay-flatten.nix).
2006-09-22	* Builtin functions `head' and `tail' to return the head and tail of	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+25
	list. Useful for lots of things, such as implementing a fold function (see NIX-30, example is in tests/lang/eval-okay-list.nix).
2006-09-22	* New builtin functions builtins.{hasAttr, getAttr} to check for	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+16
	attribute existence and to return an attribute from an attribute set, respectively. Example: `hasAttr "foo" {foo = 1;}'. They differ from the `?' and `.' operators in that the attribute name is an arbitrary expression. (NIX-61)
2006-09-21	* Fix comment.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+1
