as an alternative to adding const to Nim’s type system.

Version 0.14.2 is just a bugfix release that fixes the most pressing
regressions. In particular, the tar.xz now supports documentation
generation, and the Windows installers bundle the latest stable nimble
release.
It’s been a while since the last release, but we’ve been very busy in the meantime. In addition to working on Nim we have started a BountySource campaign and announced the pre-release of a new Nim book titled Nim in Action. Our BountySource campaign has already been very successful, helping us raise enough funds to surpass 4 of our monthly goals. The companies and individuals that made this possible are listed on our brand new sponsors page.
Once again we are proud to announce the latest release of the Nim compiler and related tools. This release comes just 3 months after the last release!
In case you have missed it, here is Andreas’ Nim: An Overview talk at OSCON Amsterdam.
The Nim community of developers is proud to announce the new version of the Nim compiler. This has been a long time coming as the last release has been made over 5 months ago!
This is just a bugfix release that fixes the most pressing regressions we introduced with version 0.11.0. The way types are computed was changed significantly causing all sort of problems. Sorry for the inconvenience; we grew overconfident our large test suite would prevent these things.
With this release we are one step closer to reaching version 1.0 and by extension the persistence of the Nim specification. As mentioned in the previous release notes, starting with version 1.0, we will not be introducing any more breaking changes to Nim.
This release marks the completion of a very important change to the project: the official renaming from Nimrod to Nim. Version 0.10.2 contains many language changes, some of which may break your existing code. For your convenience, we added a new tool called nimfix that will help you convert your existing projects so that it works with the latest version of the compiler.
A brand new website including an improved forum is now live. All thanks go to Philip Witte and Dominik Picheta, Philip Witte for the design of the website (together with the logo) as well as the HTML and CSS code for his template, and Dominik Picheta for integrating Philip’s design with Nim’s forum. We’re sure you will agree that Philip’s design is beautiful.
Note: 0.9.6 is the last release of Nimrod. The language is being renamed to Nim. Nim slightly breaks compatibility.
The Nimrod development community is proud to announce the release of version 0.9.4 of the Nimrod compiler and tools. Note: This release has to be considered beta quality! Lots of new features have been implemented but unfortunately some do not fulfill our quality standards yet.
Nimrod has been featured as the cover story in the February 2014 issue of Dr. Dobb’s Journal.
Andreas Rumpf presented Nimrod: A New Approach to Metaprogramming at Strange Loop 2013. The video and slides of the talk are now available.
We are pleased to announce that version 0.9.2 of the Nimrod compiler has been released. This release has attracted by far the most contributions in comparison to any other release.

selected.nimrod is not default dir for every project.try except matching.os.parseCmdLine now adheres
to the same parsing rules as Microsoft’s C/C++ startup code.ref pointer to the untyped pointer type is invalid.keyval example.system.splitChunk still contained code for debug output.dialogs.ChooseFileToSave uses STOCK_SAVE instead of
STOCK_OPEN for the GTK backend.low(somestring) crashed the compiler.strutils.endsWith lacked range checking.os.copyFile has better error handling.parsexml module concerning the parsing of
<tag attr="value" />.parsexml module concerning the parsing of
enities like <XX.system.write(f: TFile, s: string) now works even if s contains binary
zeros.os.setFilePermissions for Windows.strutils.cmpIgnoreCase.unicode.toUTF8.'\n' (use "\n" instead).times.getStartMilsecs() now works on Mac OS X.pegs.match concerning start offsets.The version jump from 0.8.2 to 0.8.6 acknowledges the fact that all development of the compiler is now done in Nimrod.
