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.

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.

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! :-)

5396304c73 * Use setre[ug]id() instead of setres[ug]id(), since the former is 
more common than the latter (which exists only on Linux and
  FreeBSD).  We don't really care about dropping the saved IDs since
  there apparently is no way to quiry them in any case, so it can't
  influence the build (unlike the effective IDs which are checked by
  Perl for instance).
