2006-09-04	* Store the Nix libraries in ${libdir}/nix instead of ${libdir}.	Eelco Dolstra	5	-5/+5

2006-09-01	* New primop: builtins.toFile, which writes a string into the store	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+14
	and returns its path. This can be used to (for instance) write builders inside a Nix expression, e.g., stdenv.mkDerivation { builder = " source $stdenv/setup ... "; ... }
2006-09-01	* Allow "$" in strings as long as they are not followed by "{". (Too	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+5
	bad flex doesn't have lexical restrictions, the current solution isn't quite right...)
2006-08-31	* Doh! Doh! Doh!	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2006-08-31	* Better error checking.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-11/+6

2006-08-30	* Okay, that's a bit harder than expected.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-9/+19

2006-08-30	* Uninitialised variable.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2006-08-29	* Support singleton values and nested lists again in `args', but print	Eelco Dolstra	2	-8/+9
	a warning.
2006-08-29	* Fix the ~ operator.	Eelco Dolstra	4	-3/+24

2006-08-28	* In toString, deal with nested lists properly (i.e., flatten them).	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+21

2006-08-28	* Removed processBinding, instead we now apply toString to all	Eelco Dolstra	2	-139/+139
	derivation attributes to flatten them into strings. This is possible since string can nowadays be wrapped in contexts that describe the derivations/sources referenced by the evaluation of the string.
2006-08-26	* Refactoring.	Eelco Dolstra	3	-10/+11

2006-08-25	* Remove those storePath attribute sets, we don't need 'em.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-18/+2

2006-08-24	* Escape newlines in XML attributes to prevent them from being	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+3
	normalised away.
2006-08-24	* New primop __toXML (or builtins.toXML) to convert an expression to	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+10
	an XML representation stored in a string. This should be useful to pass structured information to builders.
2006-08-24	* Refactoring.	Eelco Dolstra	4	-87/+111

2006-08-24	* Strict evaluation and XML printing of lists.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-4/+16

2006-08-24	* Refactoring: move strictEval to libexpr.	Eelco Dolstra	3	-44/+48

2006-08-23	* Allow --arg in nix-env as well, example:	Eelco Dolstra	1	-7/+20
	$ nix-env -qa --system-filter \* --arg system '"powerpc-darwin"' to override the system from the default value (__currentSystem in all-packages.nix).
2006-08-23	* Pass the autoArgs to findAlongAttrPath so that "nix-instantiate	Eelco Dolstra	3	-7/+11
	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 ...'.
2006-08-17	* Print attributes in sorted order, rather than the arbitrary order	Eelco Dolstra	1	-9/+22
	produced by ATermMap. Necessary for testing. * `--strict' should also work on stdin.
2006-08-16	* More XML output. `--strict' to strictly evaluate attribute sets and	Eelco Dolstra	2	-46/+91
	so on. * Removed `--print-args', it's subsumed by `--eval-only --xml'.
2006-08-16	* `nix-instantiate --{eval\|parse}-only --xml': print an XML	Eelco Dolstra	4	-12/+81
	representation instead of an ATerm. * Indent XML output.
2006-08-16	* Handle carriage returns. Fixes NIX-53.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-5/+14

2006-08-15	On cygwin, disable the check that the output is not group or world	Martin Bravenboer	1	-0/+2
	writable. File permissions on Cygwin are rather complex, and in this case this check introduced a problem with build jobs invoke from outside of Cygwin (MSYS). It seemed almost impossible to fix the permissions of the directory, so for now this safety check is disabled on Cygwin.
2006-08-14	* Put the value in an attribute.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+3

2006-08-11	* `nix-store --gc --print-dead': print the total size of the store	Eelco Dolstra	2	-5/+19
	objects that would be freed.
2006-08-11	* Don't assume that paths returned by the runtime root finder are	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	valid.
2006-08-10	* New configuration setting `build-max-jobs' which sets the default	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+7
	for the `-j' flag (i.e., the maximum number of jobs to execute in parallel). Useful on multi-processor machines.
2006-08-09	* Fix the help message wrt --attr.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2006-08-09	* Print a warning that the subpath operator (~) is deprecated.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+5

2006-08-07	* Workaround for a bug (?) in GCC 2.95.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2006-08-04	* Fix a few warnings.	Eelco Dolstra	4	-5/+5

2006-08-04	* Weird issue on Cygwin with the include file order.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-4/+4

2006-08-03	* `nix-env -q --xml': show query result in XML format for easier	Eelco Dolstra	3	-25/+82
	automated processing.
2006-08-03	* `nix-instantiate --print-args': produce XML output so that the	Eelco Dolstra	4	-60/+81
	result can be used more easily by scripts.
2006-08-03	* Simple class for writing XML files.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+161

2006-08-01	* Show some progress.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+1

2006-07-28	* `nix-instantiate ... --arg NAME VALUE': allow arguments to be passed	Eelco Dolstra	7	-30/+48
	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	3	-3/+37
	functions arguments that have a domain.
2006-07-26	* Refactoring: get the selection path stuff out of getDerivations()	Eelco Dolstra	9	-119/+170
	and put it into a separate function findAlongAttrPath().
2006-07-25	* `nix-instantiate --print-args' prints out the arguments of a	Eelco Dolstra	3	-7/+28
	top-level function.
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
