  different parse trees depending on the current directory.

Eelco Dolstra
5fe9222b36 * Don't use ATmake / ATmatch anymore, nor the ATMatcher class. 
Instead we generate data bindings (build and match functions) for
  the constructors specified in `constructors.def'.  In particular
  this removes the conversions between AFuns and strings, and Nix
  expression evaluation now seems 3 to 4 times faster.

9fa07b376d * String/path concatenation operator (`+'). 2004-10-26 17:01:35 +00:00

ee401afad8 * Mode --parse-only' to parse the input (on stdin, -'), and print 
out the AST as an ATerm.
* Mode `--eval-only' to parse and evaluate the input, and print the
  resulting normal form as an ATerm.

Neither of these modes require store/DB write permission.

37d7abd694 * New language feature: with expressions. 
The expression `with E1; E2' evaluates to E2 with all bindings in
  the attribute set E1 substituted.  E.g.,

    with {x = 123;}; x

  evaluates to 123.  That is, the attribute set E1 is in scope in E2.

  This is particularly useful when importing files containing lots
  definitions.  E.g., instead of

    let {
      inherit (import ./foo.nix) a b c d e f;

      body = ... a ... f ...;
    }

  we can now say

    with import ./foo.nix;

    ... a ... f ...

  I.e., we don't have to say what variables should be brought into scope.

f4d44a0026 * Allow certain operations to succeed even if we don't have write 
permission to the Nix store or database.  E.g., `nix-env -qa' will
  work, but `nix-env -qas' won't (the latter needs DB access).  The
  option `--readonly-mode' forces this mode; otherwise, it's only
  activated when the database cannot be opened.

3ade3e7721 * Revert r1594 - it didn't solve the problem. Instead add 
svn-revision to distributions, which should fix it.

2155c0a673 * Register channels as roots of the garbage collector (in 
$(localstatedir)/nix/gcroots/channels). 
* In setuid installations, create gcroots/tmp and gcroots/channels
  group-writable.

2cd590d96c * Instead of — use the actual Unicode character. By the way, to 
edit the manual, you should have something like

    (modify-coding-system-alist 'file "\\.xml\\>" 'utf-8)

  in your ~/.emacs.

sensitivity.

Eelco Dolstra
371c57d8a7 * Updated the quick start section. Use channels instead of 
downloading Nix expressions and calling nix-pull.  This is so
  user-friendly that even a Mac user can do it! :-)

b357284a32 * Fallback didn't work for subderivations of an unnormalised the main 
derivation, since NormalisationGoal would first run a
  NormalisationGoal on the subderivation (a no-op, since in a
  situation where we need fallback the successor is known), and then
  runs a RealisationGoal on the normal form, which then cannot do a
  fallback because it doesn't know the derivation expression for which
  it is a normal form.

  Tossed out the 2-phase normalisation/realisation in
  NormalisationGoal and SubstitutionGoal since it's no longer needed -
  a RealisationGoal will run a NormalisationGoal if necessary.
