false.

07ffdc2862 * Added an option "fsync-metadata" to fsync() changes to 
/nix/var/nix/db.
* Removed the function writeStringToFile since it does (almost) the
  same thing as writeFile.

3d55f1eb57 * A command `nix-store --query --roots <paths>' to find the garbage 
collector roots that point (directly or indirectly) to the given
  paths.

8824d60fe5 * Remove the --use-atime / --max-atime garbage collector flags. Many 
(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.

f2c3fc5191 * Don't show trace information by default (`--show-trace' to enable). 
NixOS evaluation errors in particular look intimidating and
  generally aren't very useful.  Ideally the builtins.throw messages
  should be self-contained.

14bc3ce3d6 * Canonicalise timestamps in the Nix store to 1 (1970-01-01 00:00:01 
UTC) rather than 0 (00:00:00).  1 is a better choice because some
  programs use 0 as a special value.  For instance, the Template
  Toolkit uses a timestamp of 0 to denote the non-existence of a file,
  so it barfs on files in the Nix store (see
  template-toolkit-nix-store.patch in Nixpkgs).  Similarly, Maya 2008
  fails to load script directories with a timestamp of 0 and can't be
  patched because it's closed source.

  This will also shut up those "implausibly old time stamp" GNU tar
  warnings.

descriptors 3/4, just use stdin/stderr).

7cd88b1dec * Generalised the dependencyClosure primop to builtins.genericClosure, 
which is hopefully more useful.
* New primops: length, mul, div.

d567baabbd * Export the nix-env derivation name parsing and version comparison 
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.

  each path.
* Removed compatibility with Nix <= 0.7 stores.
