2012-02-09	Use data() instead of c_str() where appropriate	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2011-12-16	* importPath() -> importPaths(). Because of buffering of the input	Eelco Dolstra	1	-5/+11
	stream it's now necessary for the daemon to process the entire sequence of exported paths, rather than letting the client do it.
2011-12-16	* Avoid expensive conversions from char arrays to STL strings.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+18

2011-12-16	* Make the import operation through the daemon much more efficient	Eelco Dolstra	1	-12/+30
	(way fewer roundtrips) by allowing the client to send data in bigger chunks. * Some refactoring.
2011-12-16	* Clean up exception handling.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+9

2011-12-15	* Refactoring: move sink/source buffering into separate classes.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-23/+46
	* Buffer the HashSink. This speeds up hashing a bit because it prevents lots of calls to the hash update functions (e.g. nix-hash went from 9.3s to 8.7s of user time on the closure of my /var/run/current-system).
2011-12-15	* Buffer reads in FdSource. Together with write buffering, this	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+23
	significantly cuts down the number of syscalls (e.g., for "nix-store -qR /var/run/current-system" via the daemon, it reduced the number of syscalls in the client from 29134 to 4766 and in the daemon from 44266 to 20666).
2011-12-14	* Buffer writes in FdSink. This significantly reduces the number of	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+24
	system calls / context switches when dumping a NAR and in the worker protocol.
2009-03-22	* NAR archives: handle files larger than 2^32 bytes. Previously it	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2
	would just silently store only (fileSize % 2^32) bytes. * Use posix_fallocate if available when unpacking archives. * Provide a better error message when trying to unpack something that isn't a NAR archive.
2008-06-18	* Some refactoring: put the GC options / results in separate structs.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+31
	* The garbage collector now also prints the number of blocks freed.
2008-05-21	* GCC 4.3.0 (Fedora 9) compatibility fixes. Reported by Gour and	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+2
	Armijn Hemel.
2006-12-04	* Daemon mode (`nix-worker --daemon'). Clients connect to the server	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+4
	via the Unix domain socket in /nix/var/nix/daemon.socket. The server forks a worker process per connection. * readString(): use the heap, not the stack. * Some protocol fixes.
2006-11-30	* More remote operations.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+18
	* Added new operation hasSubstitutes(), which is more efficient than querySubstitutes().size() > 0.
2006-11-30	* Skeleton of the privileged worker program.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+87
	* Some refactoring: put the NAR archive integer/string serialisation code in a separate file so it can be reused by the worker protocol implementation.
