2007-12-14	* Mac OS X 10.5 compatibility: `echo -n foo' suddenly prints `-n foo'	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	instead of `foo' without a newline (with /bin/sh, not /bin/bash, even though /bin/sh is also bash...). So use printf instead.
2007-12-06	* Syntax to escape '', ${.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-2/+8

2007-11-30	* Added a new kind of multi-line string literal delimited by two	Eelco Dolstra	2	-0/+108
	single quotes. Example (from NixOS): job = '' start on network-interfaces start script rm -f /var/run/opengl-driver ${if videoDriver == "nvidia" then "ln -sf ${nvidiaDrivers} /var/run/opengl-driver" else if cfg.driSupport then "ln -sf ${mesa} /var/run/opengl-driver" else "" } rm -f /var/log/slim.log end script ''; This style has two big advantages: - \, ' and " aren't special, only '' and ${. So you get a lot less escaping in shell scripts / configuration files in Nixpkgs/NixOS. The delimiter '' is rare in scripts (and can usually be written as ""). ${ is also fairly rare. Other delimiters such as <<...>>, {{...}} and <\|...\|> were also considered but this one appears to have the fewest drawbacks (thanks Martin). - Indentation is intelligently stripped so that multi-line strings can follow the nesting structure of the containing Nix expression. E.g. in the example above 6 spaces are stripped from the start of each line. This prevents unnecessary indentation in generated files (which sometimes even breaks things). See tests/lang/eval-okay-ind-string.nix for some examples.
2007-11-29	* nix-env -e: support uninstalling by path, so that one can say	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+11
	$ nix-env -e $(which firefox) or $ nix-env -e /nix/store/nywzlygrkfcgz7dfmhm5xixlx1l0m60v-pan-0.132 * nix-env -i: if an argument contains a slash anywhere, treat it as a path and follow it through symlinks into the Nix store. This allows things like $ nix-build -A firefox $ nix-env -i ./result * nix-env -q/-i/-e: don't complain when the `' selector doesn't match anything. In particular, `nix-env -q \' doesn't fail anymore on an empty profile.
2007-11-21	* New primop `readFile' to get the contents of a file as a string.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-0/+2

2007-09-11	* Test the impureEnvVars feature.	Eelco Dolstra	3	-0/+6

2007-09-04	* nix-push / generate-patches: bzip the manifest.	Eelco Dolstra	3	-2/+5

2007-08-28	* Doh! Broken test.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+3

2007-08-28	* Test case to show that parallel builds of different fixed-output	Eelco Dolstra	3	-1/+28
	derivations that produce the same output path don't work properly wrt locking. This happens a lot in the build farm when fetchurl derivations downloading the same file on different platforms are executed in parallel and then copied back to the main machine.
2007-08-18	primop functions listToAttrs (+test), __isAttrs, __trace added	Marc Weber	2	-0/+9
	new configuration style proposal in lib/default-unstable.nix
2007-08-14	* Hopefully this fixes the test on FreeBSD.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-3/+3

2007-08-13	* A test for the nix-worker.	Eelco Dolstra	4	-2/+24

2007-08-13	* Fix the tests.	Eelco Dolstra	12	-63/+67

2007-05-15	* Allow empty argument lists in function definitions (e.g., `{}:	Eelco Dolstra	2	-0/+2
	bla'). Also allow trailing commas (`{x, y,}: ...') as a unintented consequence. Hopefully the reduce/reduce conflict won't cause any problems.
2007-02-21	* Don't use $SHELL.	Eelco Dolstra	3	-10/+2

2007-01-29	New primitives:	Eelco Dolstra	6	-4/+41
	* `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.
2007-01-15	* builtins.filterSource: pass the type of the file ("regular",	Eelco Dolstra	2	-1/+5
	"directory", "symlink") as the second argument to the filter predicate.
2007-01-14	* Don't forget the .flags files.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2007-01-14	* Option --argstr for passing string arguments easily. (NIX-75)	Eelco Dolstra	4	-1/+22

2007-01-13	* Canonicalise ASTs in `nix-instantiate --eval': remove position	Eelco Dolstra	4	-4/+4
	info, sort attribute sets.
2006-12-12	* New primop builtins.filterSource, which can be used to filter files	Eelco Dolstra	3	-1/+23
	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	2	-0/+12
	names of the attributes in an attribute set.
2006-12-02	* Clear NIX_REMOTE in the tests.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+2

2006-10-19	* Checks for allowedReferences and some other features.	Eelco Dolstra	4	-2/+100
	* Use nix-build in a test.
2006-10-17	* Another test.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+1

2006-10-17	* Fix the tests wrt the AST changes, i.e., Str(s) -> Str(s, []), and	Eelco Dolstra	19	-22/+22
	the semantic changes.
2006-10-11	* Removed URIs from the evaluator (NIX-66). They are now just another	Eelco Dolstra	3	-3/+3
	kind of notation for strings.
2006-10-03	* toFile: added an additional argument to specify the store path	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	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	-0/+15

2006-09-24	* Primop `toPath' to convert a string to a path.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-0/+4
	* Primop `pathExists' to check for path existence.
2006-09-24	* Builtin function `getEnv' for getting environment variables.	Eelco Dolstra	3	-0/+4

2006-09-24	* lessThan primitive for integer comparison.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+4

2006-09-22	* Builtin function `add' to add integers.	Eelco Dolstra	8	-26/+48
	* 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	2	-0/+20
	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	2	-0/+14
	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	2	-0/+11
	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	* `nix-install-package --url': install from a URL (NIX-12).	Eelco Dolstra	7	-16/+45
	* `nix-install-package --help' (NIX-9). * `nix-install-package --non-interactive': don't prompt or pause. * Tests for nix-install-package. * Security fixes: filter the values obtained from the nixpkg.
2006-09-01	* New primop: builtins.toFile, which writes a string into the store	Eelco Dolstra	1	-6/+22
	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	2	-1/+2
	bad flex doesn't have lexical restrictions, the current solution isn't quite right...)
2006-09-01	* Fix race condition in the test.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+1

2006-08-30	* Okay, that's a bit harder than expected.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+0

2006-08-30	* TDD: == should do a deep equality test, i.e., it should strictly	Eelco Dolstra	2	-0/+4
	evaluate its arguments.
2006-08-29	* Backwards compatibility test for ~.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2006-08-24	* New primop __toXML (or builtins.toXML) to convert an expression to	Eelco Dolstra	2	-0/+2
	an XML representation stored in a string. This should be useful to pass structured information to builders.
2006-08-23	* New primop: abort "error message".	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+1

2006-08-23	* A new primop `builtins', which returns an attribute set containing	Eelco Dolstra	2	-0/+13
	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 ...'.
2006-08-22	* Urgh (see NIX-56).	Eelco Dolstra	2	-8/+10

2006-08-17	* Distribute *.exp.xml.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2006-08-17	* Test for `nix-instantiate --eval-only --xml'.	Eelco Dolstra	4	-1/+68

2006-08-16	* Meh.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2
