Version 0.6

|
|
|
Major changes include the following:
|
|
|
|
* Rewrite of the normalisation engine.
|
|
|
|
* Multiple builds can now be performed in parallel (option `-j').
|
|
|
|
* Distributed builds. Nix can now call a shell script to forward
|
|
builds to Nix installations on remote machines, which may or may
|
|
not be of the same platform type.
|
|
|
|
* Option `--fallback' allows recovery from broken substitutes.
|
|
|
|
* Option `--keep-going' causes building of other (unaffected)
|
|
derivations to continue if one failed.
|
|
|
|
* Improvements to the garbage collector (i.e., it should actually work
|
|
now).
|
|
|
|
* Setuid Nix installations allow a Nix store to be shared among
|
|
multiple users.
|
|
|
|
* Substitute registration is much faster now.
|
|
|
|
* A utility `nix-build' to build a Nix expression and create a symlink
|
|
to the result int the current directory; useful for testing Nix
|
|
derivations.
|
|
|
|
* Manual updates.
|
|
|
|
* `nix-env' changes:
|
|
|
|
* Derivations for other platforms are filtered out (which can be
|
|
overriden using `--system-filter').
|
|
|
|
* `--install' by default now uninstall previous derivations with the
|
|
same name.
|
|
|
|
* `--upgrade' allows upgrading to a specific version.
|
|
|
|
* New operation `--delete-generations' to remove profile
|
|
generations (necessary for effective garbage collection).
|
|
|
|
* Nicer output (sorted, columnised).
|
|
|
|
* More sensible verbosity levels all around (builder output is now
|
|
shown always, unless `-Q' is given).
|
|
|
|
* Nix expression language changes:
|
|
|
|
* Added a `map' function.
|
|
|
|
* An Emacs mode for editing Nix expressions (with syntax highlighting
|
|
and indentation) has been added.
|
|
|
|
* Many bug fixes.
