Benjamin Hipple 762febafe2 doc: mention how to turn on pure evaluation mode in manual
The flag is `--pure-eval`, which can be found by looking at the test suite; it
should be in the notes describing the feature as well, since otherwise users may
assume this is referencing something like `nix-shell --pure`.

Benjamin Hipple 5d24e18e29 doc: touchup release notes for 2.3
- At the top of the release notes, we announce sandboxing is now enabled by default,
then at the bottom it says it's now disabled when missing kernel support. These
can be merged into one point for clarity.

- The point about `max-jobs` defaulting to 1 appears unrelated to sandboxing.

Enable sandbox builds on Linux by default
The overhead of sandbox builds is a problem on NixOS (since building a
NixOS configuration involves a lot of small derivations) but not for
typical non-NixOS use cases. So outside of NixOS we can enable it.

Issue .

Add plugins to make Nix more extensible.
All plugins in plugin-files will be dlopened, allowing them to
statically construct instances of the various Register* types Nix
supports.

Eelco Dolstra 84722d67d2
Remove nix-build --hash
Instead, if a fixed-output derivation produces has an incorrect output
hash, we now unconditionally move the outputs to the path
corresponding with the actual hash and register it as valid. Thus,
after correcting the hash in the Nix expression (e.g. in a fetchurl
call), the fixed-output derivation doesn't have to be built again.

It would still be good to have a command for reporting the actual hash
of a fixed-output derivation (instead of throwing an error), but
"nix-build --hash" didn't do that.

Rename 1.12 -> 2.0
Following discussion with Shea and Graham. It's a big enough change
from the last release. Also, from a semver perspective, 2.0 makes more
sense because we did remove some interfaces (like nix-pull/nix-push).

Add 'nix upgrade-nix' command
This command upgrades Nix to the latest stable version by installing a
store path obtained from

  https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/raw/master/nixos/modules/installer/tools/nix-fallback-paths.nix

which is the same store path that the installer at
https://nixos.org/nix/install.sh uses.

The upgrade fails if Nix is not installed in a profile (e.g. on NixOS,
or when installed outside of the Nix store).

Add automatic garbage collection
Nix can now automatically run the garbage collector during builds or
while adding paths to the store. The option "min-free = <bytes>"
specifies that Nix should run the garbage collector whenever free
space in the Nix store drops below <bytes>. It will then delete
garbage until "max-free" bytes are available.

Garbage collection during builds is asynchronous; running builds are
not paused and new builds are not blocked. However, there also is a
synchronous GC run prior to the first build/substitution.

Currently, no old GC roots are deleted (as in "nix-collect-garbage
-d").
