Changelog

Unreleased

[Breaking] Support for the "Lockable HTTP Tarball Protocol" has been removed. Instead of checking some HTTP headers, the user must now explicitly specify --mutable when adding tarball pins. Existing locked tarball pins should remain functional just the same as before, no action required.
Added npins add url for pinning plain URLs (files that should not be unpacked as tarballs). Same semantics as tarball pins. (#223)
npins add channel now takes --artifact to pin something other than nixexprs.tar.xz, for example latest-nixos-graphical-x86_64-linux.iso. (#223)
Added --plain to npins show display a newline delimated list of pin names (#203)
Added --exclude to npins show to invert the provided entries to exclude from the complete list (#203)
Basic completions for bash, fish and zsh are now included (#203)
Fish completions will complete pin names where applicable (#203)
npins will no longer spawn multiple threads for its runtime (#232)
npins update will now error if all the pins it tried to update were non-existent or frozen (#191)

npins show now accepts a list of pin entries to show instead of always showing the complete list (#190)
Tweaked forge auto-detection for add git (#202)
npins remove now accepts a list of pin entries to remove instead of just one (#203)
Calls to nix when verbosely logging now more concisely and accurately display the command being ran (#221)
freeze/unfreeze documentation was clarified to indicate more clearly what they do (#209)
Errors from external commands with http request checks will be now shown in the error output (#228)
import-flake now shows the name of the pin that caused a error in importing (#208)
Fixed visual glitch where status text was not being cleared properly in update and verify outputs (#187)
Newly created/upgraded default.nix will pass hash to dockerTools.pullImage for containers (#201)
Minor comment and help changes (#194 #212)

Changed the hashes to use the SRI format (#139)
Added Nixpkgs support for fetching pins as proper derivations (#153)
Added npins get-path, which is a convenience wrapper around nix-instantiate --eval -E '(import ./npins).$pin.outPath' and especially useful for scripting and in lockfile mode. (#153)
Added npins verify, which will check that all pins still properly work (#182)
Added npins add container, which allows pinning OCI containers (#145)
npins add git now automatically detects GitHub, GitLab and Forgejo repositories, including self-hosted ones (#179)
Many many bugfixes

Fixed npins update looking weird when having many pins (#138)
Fixed npins update touching the lock file even if there were no updates (#101)
Fixed some bugs with lockfile mode where it would still look for a "sources.json"
Fixed a regression in the CLI argument parsing with --name (#128, #129)
Fixed the caching for git prefetching, so it won't download twice anymore (#132)
Fixed another CLI glitch (#75)

Pins can now be "frozen", which will skip updating them (#78)
update command now fetches in parallel (#112)
Added support for fetching git submodules (#46)
Added Forgejo as a supported git forge (#95)
Added support for local development overrides (#99)
Added tarball pins (#119)
