2005-01-14 * Shorten SHA-256 hashes used in store path name generation to 160Eelco Dolstra1-2/+2
bits, then encode them in a radix-32 representation (using digits and letters except e, o, u, and t). This produces store paths like /nix/store/4i0zb0z7f88mwghjirkz702a71dcfivn-aterm-2.3.1. The nice thing about this is that the hash part of the file name is still 32 characters, as before with MD5. (Of course, shortening SHA-256 to 160 bits makes it no better than SHA-160 in theory, but hopefully it's a bit more resistant to attacks; it's certainly a lot slower.)
2005-01-14 * Add SHA-256.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+1
* Tests for the various hashes.
2005-01-13 * Added SHA-1 support. `nix-hash' now has an option `--type sha1' toEelco Dolstra1-2/+13

2004-02-10 * Lots of manual stuff. Reference pages for most Nix commands.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
