2006-07-25	* Applied rbroek's patch from the branch at	Eelco Dolstra	4	-15/+37
	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
2006-07-25	* Support the --attr / -A flag in nix-env as well. So now we can do,	Eelco Dolstra	2	-3/+24
	e.g., $ nix-env -i -A subversion xorg.xorgserver The main advantage over using symbolic names is that using attribute names is unambiguous and much, much faster.
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

2006-07-20	* Use $(libexecdir) to find find-runtime-roots.pl.	Eelco Dolstra	5	-1/+8

2006-07-20	* Use debug().	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2006-07-20	* Call find-runtime-roots.pl from the garbage collector to prevent	Eelco Dolstra	4	-16/+134
	running applications etc. from being garbage collected.
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

2006-07-06	* Allow the canonical system name to be specified at runtime in the	Eelco Dolstra	5	-8/+7
	Nix config file.
2006-06-27	* `nix-env --upgrade --eq': only upgrade if the old version is equal	Eelco Dolstra	2	-2/+5
	to the new version. This is actually useful.
2006-06-20	* Concurrent GC on Cygwin.	Eelco Dolstra	3	-73/+146

2006-06-19	* Oops.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+2

2006-06-19	* _exit() doesn't seem to work right on Cygwin.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+11

2006-06-19	* On Windows we cannot delete open (lock) files, so we delete lock	Eelco Dolstra	1	-4/+47
	files after we've closed them. Since this only succeeds if the lock is no longer opened by any process, the token trick used on Unix is not necessary.
2006-06-19	* Write messages to stderr in a slightly more atomic way. Useful when	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+2
	there are several parallel processes.
2006-06-16	* Show when we're blocked waiting for a lock.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-4/+4

2006-06-15	* In `nix-env -i\|-u\|-e', lock the profile to prevent races between	Eelco Dolstra	3	-6/+26
	concurrent nix-env operations on the same profile. Fixes NIX-7.
2006-06-14	* Fix for a problem with BSD's group ownership semantics when the user	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+13
	is not in the "wheel" group.
2006-06-01	* Minor cleanup.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-7/+3

2006-05-31	* For fixed-output derivations, pass the environment variables listed	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+20
	in the attribute variable `impureEnvVars' from the caller to the builder.
2006-05-30	* Not all platforms have sys/select.h.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

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

2006-05-29	* Disable the concurrent garbage collector on Cygwin for now.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+8

2006-05-24	* Some Cygwin fixes.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-6/+7

2006-05-12	* Support for srcdir != builddir (NIX-41).	Eelco Dolstra	10	-24/+27

2006-05-11	* 64-bit compatibility fixes (for problems revealed by building on an Athlon	Eelco Dolstra	10	-20/+21
	64 running 64-bit SUSE). A patched ATerm library is required to run Nix succesfully.
2006-05-08	* GCC 2.95 compatibility.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+2

2006-05-08	* Allow function argument default values to refer to other arguments	Eelco Dolstra	3	-38/+48
	of the function. Implements NIX-45.
2006-05-08	* Show evaluation stats when NIX_SHOW_STATS=1.	Eelco Dolstra	3	-15/+30

2006-05-04	* Use the new ATermMap.	Eelco Dolstra	10	-225/+500

2006-05-02	* Optimise null-ary term builders. Also declare all term builder	Eelco Dolstra	3	-7/+16
	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	2	-17/+20

2006-05-02	* Huge reduction in memory use (2/3 or so on large nix-env -qas	Eelco Dolstra	3	-9/+12
	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	* Allow `make check' to work in directories that have symlink	Eelco Dolstra	2	-23/+22
	components.
2006-03-10	* `nix-env -qa --description' shows human-readable descriptions of	Eelco Dolstra	5	-23/+69
	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.
2006-03-10	* `nix-env -q' now accepts arguments that allow specific derivations	Eelco Dolstra	1	-23/+27
	to be queried, e.g., `nix-env -qa firefox'. This does require the argument '' to be passed if one wants information about all derivations, so the old `nix-env -qa' now is `nix-env -qa ""'.
2006-03-09	* Ugh, printHash() was very inefficient because it used	Eelco Dolstra	1	-5/+7
	ostringstreams. Around 11% of execution time was spent here (now it's 0.5%).
2006-03-09	* Regression: semantics of the result of getDerivation() changed.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2
