2008-08-14	* Refactoring: combine functions that take an attribute set and	Eelco Dolstra	5	-10/+16
	functions that take a single argument (plain lambdas) into one AST node (Function) that contains a Pattern node describing the arguments. Current patterns are single lazy arguments (VarPat) and matching against an attribute set (AttrsPat). This refactoring allows other kinds of patterns to be added easily, such as Haskell-style @-patterns, or list pattern matching.
2008-08-14	* Increase the sleep periods a bit to make the test less likely to	Eelco Dolstra	3	-12/+17
	fail on slow machines. Of course it would be better if this test wasn't timing dependent...
2008-08-11	* Removed the "valid values" feature. Nobody uses it anyway.	Eelco Dolstra	8	-34/+4

2008-08-04	* Fix the tests.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-0/+2

2008-08-02	* Make nix-env --dry-run print the paths to be substituted correctly	Eelco Dolstra	2	-16/+37
	again. (After the previous substituter mechanism refactoring I didn't update the code that obtains the references of substitutable paths.) This required some refactoring: the substituter programs are now kept running and receive/respond to info requests via stdin/stdout.
2008-07-18	* Fix the tests.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+6

2008-07-11	* Generalised the dependencyClosure primop to builtins.genericClosure,	Eelco Dolstra	3	-0/+380
	which is hopefully more useful. * New primops: length, mul, div.
2008-07-01	* Export the nix-env derivation name parsing and version comparison	Eelco Dolstra	3	-0/+43
	logic through the `parseDrvName' and `compareVersions' primops. This will allow expressions to easily check whether some dependency is a specific needed version or falls in some version range. See tests/lang/eval-okay-versions.nix for examples.
2008-06-15	* Test instrumentation.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+1

2008-06-10	* Fixed compatibility with old versions of "wc" that print whitespace	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2
	before the count.
2008-06-09	* Merged the no-bdb branch (-r10900:HEAD	Eelco Dolstra	5	-8/+78
	https://svn.nixos.org/repos/nix/nix/branches/no-bdb).
2008-02-05	* Doh.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2008-02-05	* Regression test.	Eelco Dolstra	2	-2/+9

2008-01-04	* New primop `unsafeDiscardStringContext' to get rid of string	Eelco Dolstra	2	-0/+7
	contexts. Needed to prevent unnecessary dependencies when building the NixOS manual.
2007-12-31	(no commit message)	Eelco Dolstra	2	-1/+1

2007-12-30	* Fix the hashDerivationModulo test. I should really investigate	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+4
	why the test failed...
2007-12-14	* Another insane Mac OS X 10.5 compatibility hack.	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+14

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.
