Changes for nix-bisect

0.4.1 - 2020-04-09

  • Gracefully handle extra-bisect commands when no good or bad commit is provided yet.

0.4.0 - 2020-04-09

  • Support for regular skip in the bisect runner. This is in addition to skip-range.
  • More reliable parsing of nix build error output.
  • Reuse of old skip-ranges when the cherry-picks that are supposed to unbreak them do not apply.
  • Patchsets are now persisted in the git tree, so the bisection can be aborted and resumed.
  • Nicer output in the bisect log.
  • High-Level Derivation interface.
  • Split of the CLI into nix-build-status, extra-bisect and bisect-env.
  • Make use of gcroots to prevent repeated builds.
  • Some builds can now be blacklisted so that they will always lead to skips.
  • Options and argstrings can be passed through to nix.

This is the first release with outside contributions. Thank you @bhipple and @lheckemann.

0.3.0 - 2020-03-24

  • Successful cached builds are no longer unnecessarily fetched.
  • We now cache logs of failures, even dependency failures. This enables reliable skip caching (since nix log is not reliable) and transitive build failure caching (i.e. caching of dependency failures).
  • There is a new nix-bisect entrypoint which can be called directly instead of calling the python module.
  • The nix file to build an attribute from can now be changed by passing --nix-file or -f.
  • There is now a new (very experimental) bisect runner that can be enabled with the --bisect-runner flag. When that flag is used, nix-bisect should used standalone instead of as a parameter of git bisect. Taking full control of the bisection opens the door to many possible improvements.
  • One such improvement is already implemented: The bisect runner will treat skips as ranges (i.e. a commit between two skips is assumed to be skipped as well) and automatically identifies which commit "unbreak" this range. It then automatically cherry-picks those "unbreak" commits to enable further bisection.

0.2.0 - 2020-01-21

  • Added a simple command line interface.
  • Various changes to the library

0.1.0 - 2019-08-13

  • Initial version, library only
