- The default user-agent in `std/httpclient` has been changed to `Nim-httpclient/<version>` instead of `Nim httpclient/<version>` which was incorrect according to the HTTP spec.
- Methods now support implementations based on a VTable by using `--experimental:vtables`. Methods are then confined to be in the same module where their type has been defined.
- With `-d:nimPreviewNonVarDestructor`, non-var destructors become the default.
- A bug where tuple unpacking assignment with a longer tuple on the RHS than the LHS was allowed has been fixed, i.e. code like:
```nim
var a, b: int
(a, b) = (1, 2, 3, 4)
```
will no longer compile.

- `member` can be used to attach a procedure to a C++ type.
- C++ `constructor` now reuses `result` instead creating `this`.
- Tuple unpacking changes:
- Tuple unpacking assignment now supports using underscores to discard values.
```nim
var a, c: int
(a, _, c) = (1, 2, 3)
```
- Tuple unpacking variable declarations now support type annotations, but
only for the entire tuple.
```nim
let (a, b): (int, int) = (1, 2)
let (a, (b, c)): (byte, (float, cstring)) = (1, (2, "abc"))
```
## Compiler changes
- `--nimcache` using a relative path as the argument in a config file is now relative to the config file instead of the current directory.
