2011-11-03* The Nix configuration file is usually /etc/nix/nix.conf.Eelco Dolstra
2011-11-02* Fix permission on /nix/store in the manual for multi-user installsEelco Dolstra
(reported by Silvio Frischknecht).
2011-09-06* Added a command ‘nix-store --verify-paths PATHS’ to check whetherEelco Dolstra
the contents of any of the given store paths have been modified. E.g. $ nix-store --verify-path $(nix-store -qR /var/run/current-system) path `/nix/store/m2smyiwbxidlprfxfz4rjlvz2c3mg58y-etc' was modified! expected hash `fc87e271c5fdf179b47939b08ad13440493805584b35e3014109d04d8436e7b8', got `20f1a47281b3c0cbe299ce47ad5ca7340b20ab34246426915fce0ee9116483aa' All paths are checked; the exit code is 1 if any path has been modified, 0 otherwise.
2011-08-06* Add a Nix expression search path feature. Paths between angleEelco Dolstra
brackets, e.g. import <nixpkgs/pkgs/lib> are resolved by looking them up relative to the elements listed in the search path. This allows us to get rid of hacks like import "${builtins.getEnv "NIXPKGS_ALL"}/pkgs/lib" The search path can be specified through the ‘-I’ command-line flag and through the colon-separated ‘NIX_PATH’ environment variable, e.g., $ nix-build -I /etc/nixos ... If a file is not found in the search path, an error message is lazily thrown.
2011-07-13* Allow a default value in attribute selection by writingEelco Dolstra
x.y.z or default (as originally proposed in https://mail.cs.uu.nl/pipermail/nix-dev/2009-September/002989.html). For instance, an expression like stdenv.lib.attrByPath ["features" "ckSched"] false args can now be written as args.features.ckSched or false

2010-01-29* Added an option "fsync-metadata" to fsync() changes toEelco Dolstra
/nix/var/nix/db. * Removed the function writeStringToFile since it does (almost) the same thing as writeFile.
2009-12-09* Release notes.Eelco Dolstra
2009-11-23* A command `nix-store --query --roots <paths>' to find the garbageEelco Dolstra
collector roots that point (directly or indirectly) to the given paths.
2009-11-20* Remove the --use-atime / --max-atime garbage collector flags. ManyEelco Dolstra
(Linux) machines no longer maintain the atime because it's too expensive, and on the machines where --use-atime is useful (like the buildfarm), reading the atimes on the entire Nix store takes way too much time to make it practical.
