2004-01-15	* In `nix-env --query --status', determine the `I' bit by looking at	Eelco Dolstra
	the output path of a derivation, not the path of its store expression. This ensures that changes that affect the path of the store expression but not the output path, do not affect the `installed' state of a derivation.
2004-01-13	* Option `-B' to always show the output of builders, regardless of	Eelco Dolstra
	verbosity level.
2004-01-13	* Periodically checkpoint the log.	Eelco Dolstra

2004-01-13	* Tricky: make sure that the accessor count is not reset to 0 if	Eelco Dolstra
	recovery fails.
2004-01-13	* Print error messages, not debug messages.	Eelco Dolstra

2004-01-12	* Changed the extension for store expressions from ".nix" to ".store"	Eelco Dolstra
	(following the Usenix paper).
2004-01-09	* Option `--force-realise' in `nix-store --query'.	Eelco Dolstra

2004-01-07	* Upgraded to Berkeley DB 4.2.52. The main advantage of 4.2 is that	Eelco Dolstra
	it automatically removes log files when they are no longer needed. * IMPORTANT * If you have an existing Nix installation, you must checkpoint the Nix database to prevent recent transactions from being undone. Do the following: - optional: make a backup of $prefix/var/nix/db. - run `db_checkpoint' from Berkeley DB 4.1: $ db_checkpoint -h $prefix/var/nix/db -1 - optional (?): run `db_recover' from Berkeley DB 4.1: $ db_recover -h $prefix/var/nix/db - remove $prefix/var/nix/db/log* and $prefix/var/nix/db/__db*
2004-01-05	* Implemented Eelco V.'s `nix-env -I' command to specify the default	Eelco Dolstra
	path of the Nix expression to be used with the import, upgrade, and query commands. For instance, $ nix-env -I ~/nixpkgs/pkgs/system/i686-linux.nix $ nix-env --query --available [aka -qa] sylpheed-0.9.7 bison-1.875 pango-1.2.5 subversion-0.35.1 ... $ nix-env -i sylpheed $ nix-env -u subversion There can be only one default at a time. * If the path to a Nix expression is a symlink, follow the symlink prior to resolving relative path references in the expression.
2004-01-05	* Implemented Eelco V.'s `-p' command to switch profiles. It switches	Eelco Dolstra
	the symlink ~/.nix-userenv to the given argument (which defaults to .../links/current). /etc/profile.d/nix-profile creates this symlink if it doesn't exist yet. Example use: $ nix-env -l my_profile -i foo.nix subversion quake $ nix-env -p my_profile I don't like the term "profile". Let's deprecate it :-)
2003-12-30	* RPM spec file.	Eelco Dolstra
	* Respect DESTDIR variable.
2003-12-23	* Fixed a bug in the upgrade operation.	Eelco Dolstra

2003-12-22	* GCC 2.95 compatibility.	Eelco Dolstra

2003-12-22	* Upgrade operation in `nix-env'. For instance, you can say	Eelco Dolstra
	nix-env -u foo.nix strategoxt to replace the installed `strategoxt' derivation with the one from `foo.nix', if the latter has a higher version number. This is a no-op if `strategoxt' is not installed. Wildcards are also accepted, so nix-env -u foo.nix '' will replace any installed derivation with newer versions from `foo.nix', if available. The notion of "version number" is somewhat ad hoc, but should be useful in most cases, as evidenced by the following unit tests for the version comparator: TEST("1.0", "2.3", -1); TEST("2.1", "2.3", -1); TEST("2.3", "2.3", 0); TEST("2.5", "2.3", 1); TEST("3.1", "2.3", 1); TEST("2.3.1", "2.3", 1); TEST("2.3.1", "2.3a", 1); TEST("2.3pre1", "2.3", -1); TEST("2.3pre3", "2.3pre12", -1); TEST("2.3a", "2.3c", -1); TEST("2.3pre1", "2.3c", -1); TEST("2.3pre1", "2.3q", -1); (-1 = less, 0 = equal, 1 = greater) A new verbosity level `lvlInfo', between `lvlError' and `lvlTalkative'. This is the default for `nix-env', so without any `-v' flags users should get useful output, e.g., $ nix-env -u foo.nix strategoxt upgrading `strategoxt-0.9.2' to `strategoxt-0.9.3'
2003-12-21	* Version numbers can be omitted in install/uninstall. E.g.,	Eelco Dolstra
	nix-env -i foo.nix subversion The version number part of a derivation name is defined as everything following the first dash not followed by a letter.
2003-12-21	* `-u' -> `-e'.	Eelco Dolstra
	* `--link' / `-l' flag to specify the switch symlink to use (by default, /nix/var/nix/links/current).
2003-12-21	* Bug fix: parallel builds of the same derivation failed due to lock file ↵	Eelco Dolstra
	removal.
2003-12-05	* Allow successors that don't exist but have a substitute.	Eelco Dolstra
	* Integrity: check in successor / substitute registration whether the target path exists or has a substitute.
2003-12-02	* Add missing files to `make dist'.	Eelco Dolstra

2003-12-02	* Regression fix: query flags (e.g., "-qsf") were broken.	Eelco Dolstra

2003-12-01	* Help text for all (non-script) programs, so no more:	Eelco Dolstra
	$ nix-instantiate --help error: unknown flag `--help` Try `nix-instantiate --help' for more information. :-)
2003-12-01	* Fix `make check'.	Eelco Dolstra

2003-12-01	* Use a system name that does not include the OS manufacturer (i.e.,	Eelco Dolstra
	"i686-linux" instead of "i686-suse-linux").
2003-11-25	* Another fix.	Eelco Dolstra

2003-11-25	* More `make dist' fixes.	Eelco Dolstra

2003-11-25	* `make dist' fix.	Eelco Dolstra

2003-11-25	* Allow integer bindings in derivations.	Eelco Dolstra

2003-11-24	* Allow the top-level expression to be a derivation.	Eelco Dolstra
	* Hack: `nix-env -i *' installs all available derivations.
2003-11-24	* Bug fix in path invalidation.	Eelco Dolstra
	* More consistency checks.
2003-11-22	* Don't use a hard-coded path.	Eelco Dolstra

2003-11-22	* Fix nix-push.	Eelco Dolstra

2003-11-22	* Maintain integrity of the substitute and successor mappings when	Eelco Dolstra
	deleting a path in the store. * Allow absolute paths in Nix expressions. * Get nix-prefetch-url to work again. * Various other fixes.
2003-11-22	* Fix the garbage collector.	Eelco Dolstra

2003-11-21	* Remove lock files after building.	Eelco Dolstra

2003-11-21	* Uninstallation.	Eelco Dolstra

2003-11-20	* Uninstall command (doesn't work yet).	Eelco Dolstra

2003-11-19	* Installation: add the previously installed packages. Switch to the new	Eelco Dolstra
	configuration. * Status queries.
2003-11-19	* nix-env: a tool to manage user environments.	Eelco Dolstra
	* Replace all directory reading code by a generic readDirectory() function.
2003-11-19	* Refactoring (step 2).	Eelco Dolstra

2003-11-19	* Refactoring: put the Nix expression evaluator in its own library so	Eelco Dolstra
	that it can be used by multiple programs.
2003-11-19	* Use `sdftable -s' to get warnings about the grammar.	Eelco Dolstra
	* Several bug fixes in the grammar. * Allow one-line comments (#... and //...) to end in EOF.
2003-11-18	* "Fix expression" -> "Nix expression".	Eelco Dolstra
	* More refactoring.
2003-11-18	* nix -> nix-store, fix -> nix-instantiate.	Eelco Dolstra

2003-11-18	* "Nix expression" -> "store expression".	Eelco Dolstra
	* More refactoring.
2003-11-18	* libnix -> libstore.	Eelco Dolstra

2003-11-18	* Source tree refactoring.	Eelco Dolstra

2003-11-16	* An forward non-random access input iterator class for ATermLists.	Eelco Dolstra

2003-11-16	* Some utility functions for working with ATerms.	Eelco Dolstra

2003-11-10	* Do not filter when parsing. This is much faster.	Eelco Dolstra
	* Add some rejections and lexical restrictions to the grammar to make this work.
2003-11-09	* Turned the msg() and debug() functions into macros, since they	Eelco Dolstra
	turned out to be a huge performance bottleneck (the text to printed would always be evaluated, even when it was above the verbosity level). This reduces fix-ng execution time by over 50%. gprof(1) is very useful. :-)
