617372ef LC |
132 | *** New (guix cpio) module, used to produce Linux initrds deterministically |
133 | *** New ‘clone’, ‘setns’, and ‘pivot_root’ bindings in (guix build syscalls) | |

136 | ||
e9ade3ee LC |
137 | *** monads: ‘foldm’, ‘mapm’, and ‘anym’ now take a list of regular values |
138 | *** monads: Allow n-ary ‘>>=’ expressions | |
617372ef LC |
139 | ** Noteworthy bug fixes |
140 | ||
141 | *** Binary installation tarball now has files root-owned, with zeroed mtime | |
e9ade3ee | 142 | (<http://bugs.gnu.org/21101>) |
617372ef LC |
143 | *** GRUB background image is always available (<http://bugs.gnu.org/20591>) |
144 | *** ‘guix system’ catches references to non-existent user groups | |
e9ade3ee | 145 | (<http://bugs.gnu.org/20646>) |
617372ef LC |
146 | *** Ignore trailing components for ‘guix gc -d’ (<http://bugs.gnu.org/19757>) |
147 | *** ‘guix lint’ warns only when all the URIs are unreachable | |
148 | *** ‘guix system init’ overwrites the items in the target store | |
149 | (<http://bugs.gnu.org/20722>) | |
150 | *** ‘guix-register’ performs deduplication even when --prefix is passed | |
151 | (<http://bugs.gnu.org/19044>) | |
152 | *** The ‘location’ of packages is no longer preserved by ‘inherit’ | |
153 | *** GuixSD installation image has udev rules for device-mapper | |
154 | (<http://bugs.gnu.org/20791>) | |
155 | *** Daemon distinguishes between “substitutable” and “offloadable” derivations | |
156 | (<http://bugs.gnu.org/18747>) | |
157 | *** Avoid infinite loop in ‘guix substitute’ | |
158 | *** ‘guix environment’ now returns the exit code of its command | |

160 | (<http://bugs.gnu.org/19778>) | |
161 | *** Daemon preserves build user groups (<http://bugs.gnu.org/18994>) | |
162 | *** Fix quadratic behavior when building packages with many propagated inputs | |
163 | *** Tarballs for origins with patches/snippet are now build deterministically | |
e9ade3ee | 164 | *** Scalability issues in ‘guix publish’ have been fixed |
617372ef LC |
165 | |
166 | ** Native language support | |
167 | ||
168 | *** Updated translations: da, eo | |
169 | ||
6b832e4d LC |
170 | * Changes in 0.8.2 (since 0.8.1) |
171 | ||
172 | ** Package management | |
173 | ||
174 | *** New “binary tarball” installation method is available | |
175 | ||
176 | See “Binary Installation” in the manual. | |
177 | ||
178 | *** New ‘guix publish’ command, to publish one’s store | |
179 | ||
180 | See “Invoking guix publish” in the manual. | |
181 | ||
182 | *** ‘guix package’ runs “profile creation hooks” as needed | |
183 | ||
184 | It creates X.509 certificate bundles in the profile’s etc/ssl directory, if | |
185 | needed, generates a package database cache for GHC if the profile includes GHC | |
186 | (the Haskell compiler), and generates an Info ‘dir’ file (this part was | |
187 | already done before.) | |
188 | ||
189 | *** ‘guix package’ creates an ‘etc/profile’ file in the profile | |
190 | ||
191 | See “Invoking guix package” in the manual. | |
192 | ||
193 | *** Commands understand version prefixes, such as ‘gcc-5’ for ‘gcc-5.1.0’ | |
194 | ||
195 | *** ‘guix package --search’ now sorts packages by name and version | |
196 | ||
197 | *** Substitute information is now fetched using HTTP pipelining | |
198 | ||
199 | Before that the “substituter” used threads. Using HTTP pipelining means that | |
200 | resource consumption is reduced on both the client and server sides. As a | |
201 | side effect, a progress report is displayed as substitute info is downloaded. | |
202 | ||
203 | *** ‘guix package’ warns when a $GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH module cannot be loaded | |
204 | ||
205 | *** New ‘--sources’ option to ‘guix build’ | |
206 | ||
207 | *** New Bash completion file, installed in $sysconfdir/bash_completion.d | |
208 | ||
209 | *** New ‘guix import hackage’ command | |
210 | ||
211 | See “Invoking guix import” in the manual. | |
212 | ||
213 | *** ‘guix lint’ supports FTP for the ‘source’ and ‘home-page’ checkers | |
214 | ||
215 | *** ‘guix lint’ has a new ‘derivation’ checker | |
216 | ||
217 | *** ‘guix import cpan’ better handles dependencies and licenses | |
218 | ||
219 | *** Packages are now build in an environment with a UTF-8 locale | |
220 | ||
221 | ** Distribution | |
222 | ||
223 | *** C library's name service switch (NSS) is now fully configurable | |
224 | ||
225 | See “Name Service Switch” in the manual. | |
226 | ||
d423ac60 | 227 | *** New services: wicd, lirc, colord, upower, console-keymap, postgresql |
6b832e4d LC |
228 | |
229 | *** Xorg service supports new drivers, such as Nouveau | |
230 | ||
231 | *** lsh service has new options, initializes its seed by default | |
232 | ||
233 | *** /etc/ssl symlink is created, for X.509 certificates | |
234 | ||
235 | See “X.509 Certificates” in the manual. | |
236 | ||
237 | *** ‘guix system’ reports duplicate service identifiers | |
238 | ||
239 | *** New /etc/bashrc file that loads Bash completion when available | |
240 | ||
241 | *** SLiM service uses sessions from /run/current-system/profile/share/xsessions | |
242 | ||
243 | See “X Window” in the manual. | |
244 | ||
245 | *** The Linux “YAMA” restricting policy on PTRACE_ATTACH is now disabled | |
246 | ||
247 | *** /etc/shells now lists all the user accounts’ shells | |
248 | ||
249 | *** /gnu/store is now remounted read-only, to avoid accidental modification | |
250 | ||
251 | *** /etc/profile is sources each profile’s ‘etc/profile’ file | |
252 | ||
ec6b5a99 LC |

474 | |
475 | ** Programming interfaces | |
476 | ||
477 | *** New (guix build gremlin) to parse and validate ELF dynamic link info | |
478 | ||
479 | *** (guix build-system gnu) has a new ‘validate-runpath’ phase | |
480 | ||
481 | This phase reads the dynamic entries of ELF files and reports libraries listed | |
482 | as NEEDED that are not found in the RUNPATH. | |
483 | ||
484 | *** New (gnu services desktop) module and ‘%desktop-services’ variable | |
485 | ||
486 | *** New (guix cvs-download) module, for CVS checkouts | |
487 | ||
488 | *** New (guix build-system waf) module, for the Waf build system | |
489 | ||
490 | *** New (guix build-system haskell) module, to build Haskell packages | |
491 | ||
492 | *** (guix build-system gnu) now supports zip archives | |
493 | ||
494 | *** New convenience syntax ‘modify-phases’ added in (guix build utils) | |
495 | ||
496 | *** The ‘ld’ wrapper more finely determines whether to use ‘-rpath’ | |
497 | ||
498 | *** (guix gexp) exports ‘gexp-input’ to describe input unambiguously | |
499 | ||
500 | *** The ‘define-gexp-compiler’ form allows (guix gexp) to be extended | |
501 | ||
502 | *** New ‘local-file’ constructor exported by (guix gexp) | |
503 | ||
504 | ** Noteworthy bug fixes | |
505 | ||
506 | *** Profiles created with ‘guix package -p’ as indirect GC roots | |
507 | ||
508 | Before that they were made permanent GC roots–i.e., uncollectable. | |
509 | ||
510 | *** ‘guix package’ distinguishes downgrades from upgrades | |
511 | ||
512 | *** Handle HTTP redirects to relative URI references | |
513 | (<http://bugs.gnu.org/19840>) | |
514 | ||
515 | *** Downloads now honor the ‘http_proxy’ environment variable | |
516 | (<http://bugs.gnu.org/20402>) | |
517 | ||
518 | *** ‘--no-*’ options are now always correctly handled | |
519 | (<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2015-02/msg00702.html>) | |
520 | ||
521 | *** SLiM no longer leaks open file descriptors | |
522 | ||
523 | *** Don't compare <pam-service> objects with 'equal?' | |
524 | (<http://bugs.gnu.org/20037>) | |
525 | ||
526 | *** x86_64 and i686 bootstrap binaries updated (<http://bugs.gnu.org/19780>) | |
527 | ||
528 | *** ‘find-files’ no longer follows symlinks (<http://bugs.gnu.org/20081>) | |
529 | ||
530 | *** libc message catalog (‘libc.mo’) is now installed | |
531 | ||
532 | *** libstdc++ has appropriate RUNPATH (<http://bugs.gnu.org/20358>) | |
533 | ||
534 | *** ‘dhcp-client-service’ now correctly tracks dhclient’s PID | |
535 | ||
536 | ** Native language support | |
537 | ||
538 | *** New translations: da (Danish) | |
539 | ||
540 | *** Updated translations: eo | |
541 | ||
43faf869 LC |
542 | * Changes in 0.8.1 (since 0.8) |
543 | ||
544 | ** Package management | |
545 | ||
546 | *** New ‘--share’ and ‘--expose’ options for ‘guix system vm’ | |
547 | ||
548 | See “Invoking guix system” in the manual. | |
549 | ||
550 | *** Emacs mode now automatically loads newly installed Emacs packages | |
551 | ||
552 | See “Emacs Initial Setup” in the manual. | |
553 | ||
554 | *** ‘guix-daemon’ now defaults to ‘--cores=0 --jobs=1’ | |
555 | ||
556 | In other words, at any given time, only one derivation is being built or | |
557 | substituted, and it can use as many cores as available. Before, there could | |
558 | be N derivations using N cores, which was obviously not desirable. | |
559 | ||
560 | *** Command-line tools support the ‘GUIX_BUILD_OPTIONS’ environment variable | |
561 | ||
562 | See “Invoking guix build” in the manual. | |
563 | ||
564 | *** ‘guix environment’ is faster | |
565 | ||
566 | *** New ‘--recursive’ option for ‘guix archive’ | |
567 | ||
568 | See “Invoking guix archive” in the manual. | |
569 | ||
570 | *** Missing patches required by a package definition are gracefully reported | |
571 | ||
572 | *** ‘guix lint’ supports additional checkers | |
573 | ||
574 | The new checkers are ‘gnu-description’, ‘home-page’, and ‘source’. | |
575 | See “Invoking guix lint” in the manual. | |

577 | *** New CPAN importer for ‘guix import’ | |
578 | ||
579 | See “Invoking guix import” in the manual. | |
580 | ||
43faf869 LC |
581 | ** Distribution |
582 | ||
583 | *** USB installation image has more tools | |
584 | ||
585 | Tools added since 0.8: wpa_supplicant, cryptsetup, and iw. | |
586 | ||
587 | *** Linux kernel module dependencies are automatically handled | |
588 | ||
589 | Before that, all the modules needed in the initrd would need to be explicitly | |
590 | listed, including their dependencies, and in topological order. | |
591 | ||
592 | *** Font packages now all have a name starting with ‘font-’ | |
593 | ||
594 | See “Fonts” in the manual. | |
595 | ||
596 | *** Shell startup files have been cleaned up | |
597 | ||
598 | /etc/profile contains only environment variable definitions, which may also be | |
599 | used when running a different shell. The skeletons for user’s ‘.bash_profile’ | |
600 | and ‘.bashrc’ files behave as documented in the Bash manual. Zsh is supported. | |
601 | ||
602 | *** The ‘root’ account gets a copy of the account skeleton files | |
603 | ||
604 | Before that, the skeleton files would only be copied to non-root accounts. | |
605 | ||
606 | *** The name service cache daemon (nscd) is configurable | |
607 | ||
608 | By default it aggressively caches host and service lookups. See “Base | |
609 | Services” in the manual. | |
610 | ||
611 | *** Available locale definitions are now declared in ‘operating-system’ | |
612 | ||
613 | Before, the ‘glibc’ package would contain all the existing locales, as well as | |
614 | the ‘locale-archive’ file, amounting to 110 MiB. See “Locales” in the manual. | |
615 | ||
616 | *** SLiM sessions are configurable | |
617 | ||
618 | Pressing F1 in the SLiM graphical log-in screen allows users to choose among | |
619 | the pre-configured session types. See “X Window” in the manual. | |
620 | ||
621 | *** Man pages and Info files are systematically gzip-compressed | |
622 | ||
623 | *** ‘gnu-build-system’ ensures that documentation is in share/{man,info} | |
624 | ||
625 | If a package installs to $prefix/{man,info}, this is automatically fixed to be | |
626 | $prefix/share/{man,info}. | |
627 | ||
628 | *** ‘strip’ is invoked only on ELF files and ‘ar’ archives | |
629 | ||
630 | *** ‘libtool’ and ‘libltdl’ are now separate packages | |
631 | ||
632 | *** Emacs mode is readily usable on the Guix System Distribution | |
633 | ||
634 | *** Substitutes are now enabled by default on freshly installed systems | |
983c082a LC |

724 | |
725 | ** Programming interfaces | |
726 | ||
727 | *** New (guix elf) and (gnu build linux-modules) modules | |
728 | ||
729 | These provide resolution of Linux kernel module dependencies. See | |
730 | <https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2014-11/msg00670.html>. | |
731 | ||
732 | *** ‘glib-or-gtk-build-system’ has been extended | |
733 | ||
734 | It now handles GIO and XDG themes, takes care of generating the icon cache, | |
735 | and has a new #:glib-or-gtk-wrap-excluded-outputs parameter. | |
736 | ||
737 | *** ‘search-path-specification’ can now specify non-directory items | |
738 | ||
739 | For example, the ‘search-path-specification’ attached to libxml2 specifies a | |
740 | file pattern, which allows all the ‘catalog.xml’ files to be added to the | |
741 | ‘XML_CATALOG_FILES’ environment variable. | |
742 | ||
743 | *** (guix build syscalls) has more network-related procedures | |
744 | ||
745 | ‘set-network-interface-flags’, ‘set-network-interface-address’, | |
746 | ‘network-interface-address’, and ‘configure-network-interface’ are ioctl | |
747 | bindings used by network-handling dmd services. | |
748 | ||
749 | *** (guix monads) refactoring | |
750 | ||
751 | ‘%store-monad’ is now in (guix store) and is an alias for the new | |
752 | ‘%state-monad’ provided by (guix monads). Monadic procedures dealing with the | |
753 | store, with derivations, and with packages have been moved from (guix monads) | |
754 | to (guix store), (guix derivations), and (guix packages). See “The Store | |
755 | Monad” in the manual. | |
756 | ||
757 | *** (guix build utils) provides ‘parallel-job-count’ | |
758 | ||
759 | *** ‘wrap-program’ preserves the original argv[0] | |
760 | ||
761 | *** New (guix sets) module | |
762 | ||
763 | *** ‘define-record-type*’ now support “delayed” fields | |
764 | ||
765 | ** Noteworthy bug fixes | |
766 | ||
767 | *** X session is executed from a login shell (<http://bugs.gnu.org/19119>) | |
768 | *** grub.cfg is now a garbage-collector root (<http://bugs.gnu.org/19160>) | |
769 | *** Substituter progress report properly formatted | |
770 | (<http://bugs.gnu.org/19313>) | |
771 | *** Document permissions for /gnu/store (<http://bugs.gnu.org/19316>) | |
772 | *** Make sure config.go is newer than config.scm | |
773 | (<http://bugs.gnu.org/19317>) | |
774 | *** Emacs knows where to find its GLib schemas (<http://bugs.gnu.org/19138>) | |
775 | *** Adjust 'grub.cfg' to work on systems with a separate /boot | |
776 | (<http://bugs.gnu.org/19220>) | |
777 | *** Fix removal of next-to-last item in a profile | |
778 | (<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2014-12/msg00292.html>) | |
779 | *** Apply patches with "patch --force" (<http://bugs.gnu.org/19402>) | |
780 | *** Extend ‘search-path-specification’ for libxml2-style use cases | |
781 | (<http://bugs.gnu.org/18033>) | |
782 | *** Search for patches under $GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH (<http://bugs.gnu.org/19364>) | |
783 | *** Use executables from the target inputs in 'patch-shebangs' | |
784 | (<http://bugs.gnu.org/18895>) | |
785 | *** guix-daemon now automatically creates '…/profiles/per-user' | |
786 | (<http://bugs.gnu.org/19315>) | |
787 | *** Make /etc/mtab a symlink to /proc/self/mounts | |
788 | (<http://bugs.gnu.org/19491>) | |
789 | *** Don't build the mips64el-linux-gnuabi64 cross-compiler on i686 | |
790 | (<http://bugs.gnu.org/19598>) | |
791 | *** Read archive signatures as Latin-1 strings (<http://bugs.gnu.org/19610>) | |
792 | *** Raise an error for references to non-existent outputs | |
793 | (<http://bugs.gnu.org/19630>) | |
794 | *** Initialize libgcrypt before use (<http://bugs.gnu.org/19677>) | |
795 | ||
796 | ** Native language support | |
797 | ||
798 | *** New translations: fr (French), hu (Hungarian) | |
d3172146 | 799 | *** Updated translation: eo, vi |
43faf869 | 800 | |
0c4b00d8 LC |
801 | * Changes in 0.8 (since 0.7) |
802 | ||
803 | ** Package management | |
804 | ||
805 | *** New visual user interface in Emacs | |
806 | ||
807 | See “Emacs Interface” in the manual. | |
808 | ||
809 | *** New ‘guix environment’ command to produce development environment | |
810 | ||
811 | See “Invoking guix environment” in the manual. | |
812 | ||
29934e02 | 813 | *** The ‘guix import’ command has been extended and documented |
0c4b00d8 | 814 | |
7b3f6a27 | 815 | It can now import packages from pypi.python.org and from GNU. |
0c4b00d8 LC |
816 | See “Invoking guix import” in the manual. |
817 | ||
818 | *** New ‘guix lint’ command, for use by Guix developers | |
819 | ||
820 | See “Invoking guix lint” in the manual. | |
821 | ||
822 | *** Packages can now be “grafted” with replacements of their dependencies | |
823 | ||
824 | See “Security Updates” in the manual. | |
825 | ||
826 | *** The distribution can be extended with ‘--load-path’ or $GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH | |
827 | ||
828 | This allows users to maintain their own package definitions, and make them | |
829 | visible to the various user interfaces. See “Package Modules” in the manual. | |
830 | ||
831 | *** ‘guix package’ better reports package upgrades | |
832 | ||
833 | *** ‘guix package’ has a new ‘--switch-generation’ option | |
834 | ||
835 | See “Invoking guix package” in the manual. | |
836 | ||
837 | *** ‘guix-daemon’ has a new ‘--substitute-urls’ option | |
838 | ||
839 | See “Invoking guix-daemon” in the manual. | |
840 | ||
44941798 | 841 | ** Distribution |
0c4b00d8 LC |
842 | |
843 | *** The stand-alone operating system now supports Linux mapped devices | |
844 | ||
845 | See “Mapped Devices” in the manual. | |
846 | ||
847 | *** New fields in ‘operating-system’ declarations, better documentation | |
848 | ||
849 | New fields include ‘hosts-file’, ‘mapped-devices’, and ‘swap-devices’. | |
850 | See “operating-system Reference” in the manual. | |
851 | ||
852 | *** New services: ‘dhcp-client-service’, ‘bitlbee-service’, ‘ntp-service’ | |
853 | ||
854 | See “Services” in the manual. | |
855 | ||
8ee0e719 LC |
856 | *** Free firmware can be loaded |
857 | ||
858 | This notably enables support for some Atheros-based WiFi devices (ath9k-htc.) | |
859 | See “operating-system Reference” in the manual. | |
860 | ||
0c4b00d8 LC |
861 | *** ‘grub-configuration’ declarations can now specify a theme |
862 | ||
863 | See “GRUB Configuration” in the manual. | |
864 | ||
865 | *** The ‘base-initrd’ now has a different signature | |
866 | ||
867 | Existing uses in ‘operating-system’ declarations need to be updated. See | |
868 | “Initial RAM Disk” in the manual for details. | |
869 | ||
870 | *** eudev is now used by default, instead of an old udev release | |
871 | ||
872 | *** ‘guix system vm’ has a new ‘--full-boot’ option | |
873 | ||
874 | See “Invoking guix system” in the manual. | |
875 | ||
876 | *** The ‘file’ command is now part of the package build environment | |
877 | ||
878 | Autoconf-generated ‘configure’ scripts for packages using Libtool use ‘file’ | |
879 | to determine the target ABI, notably on MIPS, hence this change. | |
880 | ||
44941798 LC |
881 | *** 162 new packages |

0c4b00d8 LC |
943 | ** Programming interfaces |
944 | ||
945 | *** New ‘ruby-build-system’, for Ruby packages | |
946 | ||
947 | See “Build Systems” in the manual. | |
948 | ||
949 | *** New ‘glib-or-gtk-build-system’, for packages using GLib schemas | |
950 | ||
951 | See “Build Systems” in the manual. | |
952 | ||
953 | *** ‘gnu-build-system’ has a new #:substitutable? parameter | |
954 | ||
955 | This allows packagers to mark a package as requiring a local build, thus | |
956 | preventing it from being substituted by a pre-built binary. | |
957 | ||
958 | *** ‘cmake-build-system’ has a new #:build-type parameter | |
959 | ||
960 | See “Build Systems” in the manual. | |
961 | ||
962 | *** The ‘supported-systems’ field of packages is used more consistently | |
963 | ||
964 | This allows packagers to prevent attempts to build a package on a given | |
965 | architecture when that architecture is known not to be supported. The | |
966 | ‘package-transitive-supported-systems’ procedure returns the intersection of | |
967 | the systems supported by the given package and by its dependencies. | |
968 | ||
969 | *** The ‘wrap-program’ procedure can now be called multiple times | |
970 | ||
971 | *** New ‘graft-derivations’ and ‘package-grafts’ procedures | |
972 | ||
973 | They implement “grafts”, as described under “Security Updates” in the manual. | |
974 | ||
975 | *** New “bag” intermediate representation for use by build systems | |
976 | ||
977 | “Bags” are used internally as an intermediate representation between packages | |
978 | and derivations. See “Build Systems” in the manual. | |
979 | ||
980 | *** New (guix monad-repl) module, for monadic interaction at the REPL | |
981 | ||
982 | See “The Store Monad” in the manual. | |
983 | ||
984 | *** New (guix build emacs-utils) module, to facilitate building Emacs packages | |
985 | ||
986 | *** New (guix tests) module, with tools used by the test suite | |
987 | ||
988 | *** The internal ‘guix-register’ command now deduplicates files in store items | |
989 | ||
990 | *** Several system modules moved from (guix build …) to (gnu build …) | |
991 | ||
992 | Also, the (gnu build linux-boot) module has been introduced, with code | |
993 | typically used by initial RAM disks when booting on GNU/Linux-libre. | |
994 | ||
995 | *** (guix profiles) provides a representation of package transactions | |
996 | ||
997 | This factorizes code between ‘guix package’ and the Emacs user interface. | |
998 | ||
8ee0e719 | 999 | *** Bootstrapping packages moved to (gnu packages commencement) modules |
0c4b00d8 LC |
1000 | |
1001 | ** Bugs fixed | |
1002 | ||
1003 | *** ‘guix-daemon’ now really deduplicates store items by default | |
1004 | ||
1005 | Deduplication means that identical files found in /gnu/store are stored only | |
1006 | once, using hard links. This feature was wrongfully disabled, and is now | |
1007 | enabled by default. The former ‘--disable-store-optimization’ option has been | |
1008 | renamed to ‘--disable-deduplication’. | |
1009 | ||
1010 | *** ‘guix-daemon’ no longer uses ‘vfork’ | |
1011 | ||
1012 | This could cause problems with ancient Linux kernel. | |
1013 | ||
1014 | *** Fixed compilation of ‘gccgo’ (<http://bugs.gnu.org/18101>) | |
1015 | *** 'make clean' doesn't delete os-config.tmpl (<http://bugs.gnu.org/18243>) | |
1016 | *** Fix handling of periods by fill-paragraph (<http://bugs.gnu.org/17468>) | |
1017 | *** Produce a top-level Info 'dir' file (<http://bugs.gnu.org/18305>) | |
1018 | *** guix offload ignores unreachable machines (<http://bugs.gnu.org/18070>) | |
1019 | *** guix offload: Ignore EEXIST when registering a .drv as a GC root | |
1020 | (<http://bugs.gnu.org/18115>) | |
1021 | *** perl-tk: Build sequentially (<http://bugs.gnu.org/18262>) | |
1022 | *** download: Use the 'SERVER NAME' TLS extension when possible | |
1023 | (<http://bugs.gnu.org/18526>) | |
1024 | *** libdaemon: Add alternate source URLs (<http://bugs.gnu.org/18639>) | |
1025 | *** icu4c: Reinstate RUNPATH on shared libraries | |
1026 | (<http://bugs.gnu.org/18695>) | |
1027 | *** nss-mdns: Add alternate source URLs (<http://bugs.gnu.org/18704>) | |
1028 | *** download: Add "Accept: */*" to the HTTP headers | |
1029 | (<http://bugs.gnu.org/18768>) | |
1030 | *** guix-register: Do not attempt to create NIX_STORE_DIR | |
1031 | (<http://bugs.gnu.org/18689>) | |
1032 | *** Allow Linux-libre to find our 'modprobe' command | |
1033 | (<http://bugs.gnu.org/18525>) | |
1034 | *** man-pages: Build sequentially (<http://bugs.gnu.org/18701>) | |
1035 | *** Fix intermittent test failures involving GC (<http://bugs.gnu.org/18935>) | |
1036 | *** guix import: pypi: Gracefully handle non-existent packages | |
1037 | (<http://bugs.gnu.org/18831>) | |
1038 | *** Make sure the shared library has the '.so' extension | |
1039 | (<http://bugs.gnu.org/18521>) | |
1040 | *** pull: Use the build procedure provided by the newly-downloaded Guix. | |
1041 | (<http://bugs.gnu.org/18534>) | |
5c88ac53 | 1042 | *** WindowMaker no longer pollutes $PATH (<http://bugs.gnu.org/18698>) |

1046 | *** Updated translations: de, sr, vi | |
1047 | ||
02dd2a9c LC |
1048 | * Changes in 0.7 (since 0.6) |
1049 | ** Package management | |
508ea01e LC |
1050 | *** Binaries for mips64el-linux now available from hydra.gnu.org |
1051 | ||
1052 | These come in addition to the x86_64-linux and i686-linux binaries already | |
1053 | provided, thanks to our generous donor and friendly admins. See | |
1054 | “Substitutes” in the manual. | |
1055 | ||
dccc0b98 LC |
1056 | *** ‘guix package’ has a new ‘--show’ option |
1057 | *** ‘guix refresh’ has a new ‘--list-dependent’ option | |
02dd2a9c LC |
1058 | |
1059 | ** Programming interfaces | |
1060 | *** New (guix gexp) module, which implements “G-expressions” | |
1061 | ||
1062 | G-expressions are a new mechanism to embed build-side code in host-side | |
1063 | code. See “G-Expressions” in the manual. | |
1064 | ||
1065 | *** (gnu system) and related modules now use G-expressions | |
1066 | ||
1067 | This greatly simplifies code, and guarantees that build code carries | |
1068 | references to the packages or derivations it uses. | |
1069 | ||
1070 | *** ‘build-expression->derivation’ is deprecated in favor of G-expressions | |
1071 | *** The (gnu system) module has been largely augmented and factorized | |
1072 | *** New (guix build vm) module, support for virtual machine images | |
1073 | *** New (guix build activation) module, for “system activation” | |
1074 | *** New (guix build syscalls) module | |
1075 | *** New (guix build install) and module for whole system installation | |
1076 | *** New (gnu system install) module, for the installation system | |
1077 | *** New (gnu system file-systems) module, for ‘file-system’ declarations | |
1078 | *** New (gnu) module, which aggregates common (gnu …) modules | |
1079 | *** ‘service’ records now have an optional ‘activate’ field | |
1080 | ||
1081 | This allows services to specify code to run at system activation time. | |
1082 | ||
1083 | ** GNU distribution | |
1084 | *** An image to install the GNU system from a USB stick is provided | |
1085 | ||
1086 | This is the first time an installation image is provided. See “System | |
1087 | Installation” in the manual for details. This is work in progress as noted | |
1088 | in “Limitations”. Your feedback and help are welcome! | |
1089 | ||
1090 | *** Support for more parameters in ‘operating-system’ declarations | |
1091 | ||
1092 | Operating system declarations can now provide a list of file systems, a list | |
1093 | of setuid programs, bootloader options, and more. See “System Configuration” | |
1094 | in the manual. | |
1095 | ||
1096 | *** ‘guix system’ supports more actions | |
1097 | ||
1098 | Newly supported actions are ‘init’, ‘build’, ‘reconfigure’, and ‘disk-image’. | |
1099 | See “Invoking guix system” in the manual. | |
1100 | ||
1101 | *** User accounts and groups are created at system activation time | |
1102 | *** Virtual machine support uses para-virtualized devices | |
1103 | *** GCC package now has an additional ‘lib’ output, for run-time support libs | |
1104 | *** GLib package now has a separate “bin” output (<http://bugs.gnu.org/17853>) | |

1232 | *** Packages that populated man/man* now populate share/man/man* | |
1233 | *** Many other packaging improvements | |
1234 | ** Bugs fixed | |
1235 | *** ‘guix pull’ consumes less memory, compiles in parallel | |
1236 | *** ‘guix package --list-*’ gracefully handles EPIPE when used in a pipeline | |
1237 | *** ‘guix package’ handles collisions between a symlink and a directory | |
1238 | (http://bugs.gnu.org/17083) | |
1239 | *** HTTP downloads provide a ‘User-Agent’ field (http://bugs.gnu.org/16703) | |
1240 | *** ‘guix package’ no longer shows misleading installed package number | |

1247 | * Changes in 0.5 (since 0.4) |
1248 | ** Package management | |
1249 | *** GNU package descriptions synchronized with the ‘gnumaint’ repository | |
1250 | ||
1251 | In addition to synopses, descriptions of GNU packages are now kept in sync | |
1252 | with the ‘gnumaint’ repository, which is the canonical place for GNU package | |
1253 | meta-data. | |
1254 | ||
1255 | ** Programming interfaces | |
1256 | *** Patches are now listed as part of ‘origin’ | |
1257 | ||
1258 | The ‘origin’ form supports two new fields: ‘patches’ (list of patches), and | |
1259 | ‘snippet’ (code snippet to modify the source.) These are applied when running | |
1260 | ‘guix build --source’. See “Defining Packages” in the manual. | |
1261 | ||
1262 | *** New (guix monads) monadic interface to operate on the store | |
1263 | ||
1264 | See “The Store Monad” in the manual. The (gnu system …) modules have been | |
1265 | rewritten to use this monadic interface. | |
1266 | ||
1267 | *** New (guix profiles) module | |
1268 | ||
1269 | It provides an API for dealing with profiles, as with the ‘guix package’ | |
1270 | command. | |
1271 | ||
1272 | *** New (gnu system) module | |
1273 | ||
4a8c5617 AE |
1274 | This module provides a generic way to describe the system’s configuration, |
1275 | and to instantiate it, regardless of the final medium (QEMU image, etc.) | |
a043ac04 LC |
1276 | See “System Configuration” in the manual. |
1277 | ||
1278 | This is work in progress. Send feedback to guix-devel@gnu.org! | |
1279 | ||
1280 | *** ‘build-expression->derivation’ uses more parameters | |
1281 | ||
1282 | Some positional parameters have been changed to keyword parameters. | |
1283 | See “Derivations” in the manual. | |
1284 | ||
1285 | ** GNU distribution | |
1286 | *** New port to the Loongson MIPS64 processors, n32 ABI (‘mips64el-linux’) | |
1287 | ||
4a8c5617 | 1288 | Bootstrap binaries have been built for that architecture, and several |
a043ac04 LC |
1289 | Loongson-specific patches not yet available upstream have been applied to core |
1290 | packages. See “GNU Distribution” and “Porting” in the manual. | |
1291 | ||
1292 | Pre-built binaries are not yet available via hydra.gnu.org, so Guix will | |
4a8c5617 | 1293 | build from source on this platform. |

a043ac04 LC |
1337 | |
1338 | Previously, the build environment was not cleared in between ‘compile-file’ | |
1339 | calls, leading to build errors due to Guile bug http://bugs.gnu.org/15602 . | |

1348 | ||
8f37bf62 LC |
1349 | * Changes in 0.4 (since 0.3) |
1350 | ||
1351 | ** Package management | |
1352 | ||
1353 | *** New ‘--list-generations’ and ‘--delete-generations’ options | |
1354 | ||
1355 | The ‘guix package’ command has these two new options, which make it easier to | |
1356 | deal with a profile’s generation. See “Invoking guix package” in the manual. | |
1357 | ||
1358 | *** New ‘guix-register’ program | |
1359 | ||
1360 | This program allows the meta-data of a new store to be initialized, by | |
1361 | copying info from an existing store. It is mostly an internal tool. | |
1362 | ||
1363 | ** Programming interfaces | |
1364 | ||
1365 | *** New API to bootstrap Autotools-based packages | |
1366 | ||
1367 | The (guix build-system gnu) has a new ‘dist-package’ procedure that takes a | |
1368 | package object and source directory, and returns a new package object that | |
1369 | runs ‘./bootstrap && make dist’ or anything similar. | |
1370 | ||
1371 | *** ‘derivation’ and related procedures have a #:references-graphs parameter | |
1372 | ||
1373 | This parameter instructs the build daemon to populate the derivation’s build | |
1374 | tree with files containing the list of references of the given store files. | |
1375 | This is useful to write code that copies a packages and all its dependencies | |
1376 | to another storage device, such as a QEMU disk image. | |
1377 | ||
1378 | *** Extended API to build a GNU system virtual machine image | |
1379 | ||
1380 | The (gnu system vm) module has been augmented in many ways: the ‘qemu-image’ | |
1381 | procedure can now populate and initialize the image’s store; the new | |
1382 | ‘system-qemu-image’ procedure returns a QEMU image that runs dmd as its init | |
1383 | system, has ‘login’ running on several consoles, has a set of installed | |
1384 | packages, and where Guix can be used. | |
1385 | ||
1386 | New (gnu system …) modules have been added to handle the configuration of the | |
1387 | various parts of a GNU/Linux system. For instance, (gnu system dmd) provides | |
1388 | support for instantiating dmd services; (gnu system linux) helps with Linux | |
1389 | PAM configuration; and so on. | |
1390 | ||
1391 | *** <derivation> objects supersede .drv file names in the API | |
1392 | ||
1393 | ‘derivation’ and similar procedures no longer return two values (a | |
1394 | <derivation> and a .drv file name); they now return a single value, which is | |
1395 | a <derivation> object. The <derivation> object embeds the corresponding .drv | |
1396 | file name. See “Derivations” in the manual for details. | |

1422 | *** Fontconfig font search path made more convenient | |
1423 | ||
1424 | Fontconfig, the library used by many graphical applications, such as those | |
1425 | based on GTK+, now knows where to find the default set of fonts. Additional | |
1426 | fonts installed in the user profile are automatically picked up. | |
1427 | ||
1428 | *** More GUI applications | |
1429 | ||
1430 | The ‘emacs’ and ‘racket’ packages are now linked against GTK+. New GTK+ | |
1431 | applications have been added (see above.) | |
1432 | ||
1433 | *** Packaging guidelines | |
1434 | ||
1435 | The documentation of packaging guidelines has been augmented. See the manual | |
1436 | under “GNU Distribution”. | |
1437 | ||
1438 | *** Support for Python 3 along with Python 2 | |
1439 | ||
1440 | Python 3 has been added to the distribution, and Python packages that support | |
1441 | it are now built for both Python 2 and Python 3. See the “Python Modules” | |
1442 | section of the manual for details. | |

1461 | *** Cross-compilation support | |
1462 | ||
1463 | Guix can now cross-build packages. On the command-line, this is achieved with | |
1464 | the new ‘--target’ command-line option of ‘guix build’. At the Scheme level, | |
1465 | the guts of this is the ‘package-cross-derivation’ procedure. Core packages | |
1466 | of the distribution can already be cross-compiled. See the manual for | |
1467 | details. | |
1468 | ||
d1495831 LC |
1469 | *** New ‘--max-silent-time’ option for “guix build” and “guix package” |

bdbb6fbb LC |
1473 | *** New ‘--fallback’ option for “guix build” and “guix package” |

1493 | ||
1494 | This parameter is like ‘%current-system’, but for cross-compilation. It | |
1495 | allows code in package definitions (such as in the ‘arguments’ field) to know | |
1496 | whether it is being cross-compiled, and what the target system is. | |

1520 | *** Binary packages now available for i686-linux | |
1521 | ||
1522 | The build farm at http://hydra.gnu.org now provides 32-bit GNU/Linux binaries | |
1523 | (i686-linux), in addition to the x86_64-linux binaries. Both can be | |
1524 | transparently used as substitutes for local builds on these platforms. | |
1525 | ||
1526 | *** Debug info packages | |
1527 | ||
1528 | Some packages now have a “debug” output containing debugging information. The | |
1529 | “debug” output can be used by GDB, and can be installed separately from the | |
1530 | other outputs of the package. See “Installing Debugging Files” in the manual. | |
1531 | ||
1532 | *** Bootstrap binaries can be cross-compiled | |
1533 | ||
1534 | The distribution can now be ported to new architectures (currently | |
1535 | GNU/Linux-only) by cross-compiling the “bootstrap binaries”. See “Porting” | |
1536 | in the manual. | |
1537 | ||
1538 | *** Bootstrapping documented | |
1539 | ||
1540 | See “Bootstrapping” in the manual, for information on how the GNU | |
1541 | distribution builds “from scratch”. | |
1542 | ||
1543 | ** Internationalization | |
1544 | ||
1545 | New translations: eo, pt_BR. | |
1546 | ||
d1495831 LC |
1547 | ** Bugs fixed |
1548 | *** “guix --help” now works when using Guile 2.0.5 | |
1549 | *** Binary substituter multi-threading and pipe issues fixed | |
1550 | ||
1551 | These could lead to random substituter crashes while substituting a binary. | |
1552 | See commits 0332386 and 101d9f3 for details. | |
1553 | ||
bdbb6fbb LC |
1554 | *** Binary substituter gracefully handles lack of network connectivity |
1555 | ||
16357e8c LC |
1556 | *** Daemon properly handles rebuilds of multiple-output derivations |
1557 | ||
1558 | Previously it would fail when rebuilding a multiple-output derivation when | |
1559 | some (but not all) of its outputs were already present. See | |
1560 | http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-guix/2013-06/msg00038.html and | |
1561 | https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/122 . | |
1562 | ||
5939006b LC |
1563 | *** ‘guix package -i foo:out’ no longer removes other outputs of ‘foo’ |
1564 | ||
1565 | Previously only the ‘out’ output of package ‘foo’ would be kept in the | |
1566 | profile. | |
1567 | ||
3253830d LC |
1568 | *** Replacement (srfi srfi-37) provided if the user’s one is broken |
1569 | ||
1570 | When the user’s (srfi srfi-37) is affected by http://bugs.gnu.org/13176 (Guile | |
1571 | < 2.0.9), a replacement with the bug fix is provided. This bug would affect | |
1572 | command-line argument processing in some cases. | |
1573 | ||
85f3a05e LC |
1574 | * Changes in 0.2 (since 0.1) |
1575 | ||
4056b828 LC |
1576 | ** Package management |
1577 | ||
1578 | *** Guix commands are now sub-commands of the “guix” program | |
1579 | ||
1580 | Instead of typing “guix-package”, one now has to type “guix package”, and so | |
1581 | on. This has allowed us to homogenize the user interface and initial program | |
1582 | setup, and to allow commands to be upgradable through “guix pull”. | |
1583 | ||
06504acb LC |
1584 | *** New “guix package --upgrade” option |
1585 | ||
1586 | As the name implies, this option atomically upgrades all the packages | |
e3729544 LC |
1587 | installed in a profile or the set of packages matching a given regexp. |
1588 | See “Invoking guix package” in the manual. | |
06504acb | 1589 | |
0f241da2 LC |
1590 | *** New “guix package --search” option |
1591 | ||
1592 | Performs a full text search in package synopses and descriptions, and returns | |
1593 | the matching packages in recutils format. See “Invoking guix package” in the | |
1594 | manual, for details. | |
1595 | ||
4056b828 LC |
1596 | *** New “guix pull” command |
1597 | ||
1598 | The command pulls the latest version of Guix–both the package management | |
1599 | modules and the distribution. See the manual for details. | |
1600 | ||
1601 | *** New binary substituter | |
1602 | ||
1603 | The “substituter” mechanism allows pre-built binaries to be transparently | |
1604 | downloaded instead of performing a build locally. Currently binaries are | |
0f241da2 LC |
1605 | available for x86_64 Linux-based GNU systems from http://hydra.gnu.org. The |
1606 | distribution is continuously built and binaries are made available from there. | |
1607 | ||
1608 | See http://hydra.gnu.org/jobset/gnu/master under “Job status” for the list of | |
1609 | available binary packages. | |
4056b828 LC |
1610 | |
1611 | *** New “guix refresh” command | |
1612 | ||
1613 | The command is used by Guix maintainers. It automatically updates the | |
1614 | distribution to the latest upstream releases of GNU software. | |
1615 | ||
1616 | *** New “guix hash” command | |
1617 | ||
1618 | Convenience command to compute the hash of a file. See the manual for | |
1619 | details. | |
1620 | ||
0f241da2 | 1621 | *** Nix daemon code updated |
4056b828 | 1622 | |
0f241da2 LC |
1623 | The daemon code from Nix, used by the ‘guix-daemon’ command, has been updated |
1624 | to current Nix ‘master’. | |
4056b828 LC |
1625 | |
1626 | ** Programming interfaces | |
1627 | ||
0f241da2 LC |
1628 | *** (guix download) now supports HTTPS, using GnuTLS |
1629 | ||
1630 | It allows package source tarballs to be retrieved over HTTPS. | |
1631 | ||
4056b828 LC |
1632 | *** New ‘native-search-path’ and ‘search-path’ package fields |
1633 | ||
1634 | Packages can define in their ‘native-search-path’ field environment variables | |
1635 | that define search paths and need to be set for proper functioning of the | |
1636 | package. For instance, GCC has ‘CPATH’ and ‘LIBRARY_PATH’ in its | |
1637 | ‘native-search-path’, Perl has ‘PERL5LIB’, Python has ‘PYTHONPATH’, etc. | |
1638 | These environment variables are automatically set when building a package that | |
1639 | uses one of these. | |
1640 | ||
1641 | *** Package inputs can be a function of the target system type | |
1642 | ||
1643 | The ‘inputs’ field of a package can now be conditional on the value of | |
1644 | (%current-system). This is useful for packages that take system-dependent | |
1645 | tarballs as inputs, such as GNU/MIT Scheme. | |
1646 | ||
1647 | *** New build systems | |
1648 | ||
1649 | The ‘perl-build-system’, ‘python-build-system’, and ‘cmake-build-system’ have | |
1650 | been added. They implement the standard build systems for Perl, Python, and | |
1651 | CMake packages. | |
1652 | ||
47d18810 LC |
1653 | *** Tools to build Linux initrds, QEMU images, and more |
1654 | ||
1655 | The (gnu packages linux-initrd) module provides a procedure to build a Linux | |
1656 | initrd (“initial RAM disk”). The initrd embeds Guile, which is used to | |
1657 | evaluate the given expression. The example below returns an initrd that | |
1658 | mounts the /proc file system and starts a REPL: | |
1659 | ||
1660 | (expression->initrd | |
1661 | '(begin | |
1662 | (mkdir "/proc") | |
1663 | (mount "none" "/proc" "proc") | |
1664 | ((@ (system repl repl) start-repl)))) | |
1665 | ||
1666 | More examples in the linux-initrd.scm file. | |
1667 | ||
1668 | Experimental interfaces to produce and use QEMU images are provided by the | |
1669 | (gnu system vm) module. For instance, the | |
1670 | ‘expression->derivation-in-linux-vm’ evaluates the given Scheme expression in | |
1671 | a QEMU virtual machine running the Linux kernel and Guile. | |
1672 | ||
4056b828 LC |
1673 | ** GNU distribution |
1674 | ||
1675 | Many updates and additions have been made to the distribution. Here are the | |
1676 | highlights. | |
1677 | ||
1678 | *** Major updates | |
1679 | ||
1680 | GCC 4.7.3 (the default) and GCC 4.8.0, Binutils 2.23.2, Guile 2.0.9, | |
1681 | Coreutils 8.20, GDB 7.6, Texinfo 5.1. | |
