4a053bfdfd * A new primop `builtins', which returns an attribute set containing
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 ...'.

24e234a2fa * Print attributes in sorted order, rather than the arbitrary order
produced by ATermMap.  Necessary for testing.
* `--strict' should also work on stdin.

22ba63df16 * More XML output. `--strict' to strictly evaluate attribute sets and
so on.
* Removed `--print-args', it's subsumed by `--eval-only --xml'.

18e4ac0fc6 * `nix-instantiate --{eval|parse}-only --xml': print an XML
representation instead of an ATerm.
* Indent XML output.

3e5b68068b On cygwin, disable the check that the output is not group or world
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.

d19b6521fc * New configuration setting `build-max-jobs' which sets the default
for the `-j' flag (i.e., the maximum number of jobs to execute in
  parallel).  Useful on multi-processor machines.

c11839d7b2 * `nix-instantiate --print-args': print out the valid values for
functions arguments that have a domain.

ca2238cf81 * Refactoring: get the selection path stuff out of getDerivations()
and put it into a separate function findAlongAttrPath().

0e6dc72a7a * Applied rbroek's patch from the branch at
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 16:40:38 +00:00

5744dd5480 * Support the --attr / -A flag in nix-env as well. So now we can do,
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.

7a3a5d1608 * When there is a domain check, we have to evaluate the argument.
Can't be lazy!

f4c5531d92 * New language feature: domain checks, which check whether a function
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.

b35735d8b2 * On Windows we cannot delete open (lock) files, so we delete lock
files after we've closed them.  Since this only succeeds if the lock
  is no longer opened by any process, the token trick used on Unix is
  not necessary.

0e783e5579 * Write messages to stderr in a slightly more atomic way. Useful when
