e6cb3d0a0d * Added a command ‘nix-store --verify-paths PATHS’ to check whether 
the contents of any of the given store paths have been modified.
  E.g.

    $ nix-store --verify-path $(nix-store -qR /var/run/current-system)
    path `/nix/store/m2smyiwbxidlprfxfz4rjlvz2c3mg58y-etc' was modified! expected hash `fc87e271c5fdf179b47939b08ad13440493805584b35e3014109d04d8436e7b8', got `20f1a47281b3c0cbe299ce47ad5ca7340b20ab34246426915fce0ee9116483aa'

  All paths are checked; the exit code is 1 if any path has been
  modified, 0 otherwise.

1ecc97b6bd * Add a Nix expression search path feature. Paths between angle 
brackets, e.g.

    import <nixpkgs/pkgs/lib>

  are resolved by looking them up relative to the elements listed in
  the search path.  This allows us to get rid of hacks like

    import "${builtins.getEnv "NIXPKGS_ALL"}/pkgs/lib"

  The search path can be specified through the ‘-I’ command-line flag
  and through the colon-separated ‘NIX_PATH’ environment variable,
  e.g.,

    $ nix-build -I /etc/nixos ...

  If a file is not found in the search path, an error message is
  lazily thrown.

0a623a10c7 * Allow a default value in attribute selection by writing 
x.y.z or default

  (as originally proposed in
  https://mail.cs.uu.nl/pipermail/nix-dev/2009-September/002989.html).

  For instance, an expression like

    stdenv.lib.attrByPath ["features" "ckSched"] false args

  can now be written as

    args.features.ckSched or false

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.
