2015-10-27 Version 0.12.0 released
|
||||
==================================
|
||||
|
||||
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 release includes some changes which affect backwards compatibility,
|
||||
one major change is that now the hash table ``[]`` operators now raise a
|
||||
``KeyError`` exception when the key does not exist.
|
||||
|
||||
Some of the more exciting new features include: the ability to unpack tuples
|
||||
in any assignment context, the introduction of `NimScript <docs/nims.html>`_,
|
||||
and improvements to the type inference of lambdas.
|
||||
|
||||
There are of course many many many bug fixes included with this release.
|
||||
We are getting closer and closer to a 1.0 release and are hoping that only
|
||||
a few 0.x releases will be necessary before we are happy to release version 1.0.
|
||||
|
||||
As always you can download the latest version of Nim from the
|
||||
`downloads <downloads.html>`_ page.
|
||||
|
||||
For a more detailed list of changes look below. Some of the upcoming breaking
|
||||
changes are also documented in this forum
|
||||
`thread <http://forum.nim-lang.org/t/1708>`_.
|
||||
|
||||
Changes affecting backwards compatibility
|
||||
-----------------------------------------
|
||||
- ``tables.[]``, ``strtabs.[]``, ``critbits.[]`` **now raise**
|
||||
the ``KeyError`` **exception when the key does not exist**! Use the
|
||||
new ``getOrDefault`` instead to get the old behaviour. Compile all your
|
||||
code with ``-d:nimTableGet`` to get a listing of where your code
|
||||
uses ``[]``!
|
||||
- The ``rawsockets`` module has been renamed to ``nativesockets`` to avoid
|
||||
confusion with TCP/IP raw sockets, so ``newNativeSocket`` should be used
|
||||
instead of ``newRawSocket``.
|
||||
- The ``miliseconds`` property of ``times.TimeInterval`` is now ``milliseconds``.
|
||||
Code accessing that property is deprecated and code using ``miliseconds``
|
||||
during object initialization or as a named parameter of ``initInterval()``
|
||||
will need to be updated.
|
||||
- ``std.logging`` functions no longer do formatting and semantically treat
|
||||
their arguments just like ``echo`` does. Affected functions: ``log``,
|
||||
``debug``, ``info``, ``warn``, ``error``, ``fatal``. Custom subtypes of
|
||||
``Logger`` also need to be adjusted accordingly.
|
||||
- Floating point numbers can now look like ``2d`` (float64)
|
||||
and ``2f`` (float32) which means imports like ``import scene/2d/sprite``
|
||||
do not work anymore. Instead quotes have to be
|
||||
used: ``import "scene/2d/sprite"``. The former code never was valid Nim.
|
||||
- The Windows API wrapper (``windows.nim``) is now not part of the official
|
||||
distribution anymore. Instead use the ``oldwinapi`` Nimble package.
|
||||
- There is now a clear distinction between ``--os:standalone``
|
||||
and ``--gc:none``. So if you use ``--os:standalone`` ensure you also use
|
||||
``--gc:none``. ``--os:standalone`` without ``--gc:none`` is now a version
|
||||
that doesn't depend on any OS but includes the GC. However this version
|
||||
is currently untested!
|
||||
- All procedures which construct a ``Socket``/``AsyncSocket`` now need to
|
||||
specify the socket domain, type and protocol. The param name
|
||||
``typ: SockType`` (in ``newSocket``/``newAsyncSocket`` procs) was also
|
||||
renamed to ``sockType``. The param ``af`` in the ``connect`` procs was
|
||||
removed. This affects ``asyncnet``, ``asyncdispatch``, ``net``, and
|
||||
``rawsockets``.
|
||||
- ``varargs[typed]`` and ``varargs[untyped]`` have been refined and now work
|
||||
as expected. However ``varargs[untyped]`` is not an alias anymore for
|
||||
``varargs[expr]``. So if your code breaks for ``varargs[untyped]``, use
|
||||
``varargs[expr]`` instead. The same applies to ``varargs[typed]`` vs
|
||||
``varargs[stmt]``.
|
||||
- ``sequtils.delete`` doesn't take confusing default arguments anymore.
|
||||
- ``system.free`` was an error-prone alias to ``system.dealloc`` and has
|
||||
been removed.
|
||||
- ``macros.high`` never worked and the manual says ``high`` cannot be
|
||||
overloaded, so we removed it with no deprecation cycle.
|
||||
- To use the ``parallel`` statement you now have to
|
||||
use the ``--experimental`` mode.
|
||||
- Toplevel procs of calling convention ``closure`` never worked reliably
|
||||
and are now deprecated and will be removed from the language. Instead you
|
||||
have to insert type conversions
|
||||
like ``(proc (a, b: int) {.closure.})(myToplevelProc)`` if necessary.
|
||||
- The modules ``libffi``, ``sdl``, ``windows``, ``zipfiles``, ``libzip``,
|
||||
``zlib``, ``zzip``, ``dialogs``, ``expat``, ``graphics``, ``libcurl``,
|
||||
``sphinx`` have been moved out of the stdlib and are Nimble packages now.
|
||||
- The constant fights between 32 and 64 bit DLLs on Windows have been put to
|
||||
an end: The standard distribution now ships with 32 and 64 bit versions
|
||||
of all the DLLs the standard library needs. This means that the following
|
||||
DLLs are now split into 32 and 64 versions:
|
||||
|
||||
* ``pcre.dll``: Split into ``pcre32.dll`` and ``pcre64.dll``.
|
||||
* ``pdcurses.dll``: Split into ``pdcurses32.dll`` and ``pdcurses64.dll``.
|
||||
* ``sqlite3.dll``: Split into ``sqlite3_32.dll`` and ``sqlite3_64.dll``.
|
||||
* ``ssleay32.dll``: Split into ``ssleay32.dll`` and ``ssleay64.dll``.
|
||||
* ``libeay32.dll``: Split into ``libeay32.dll`` and ``libeay64.dll``.
|
||||
|
||||
Compile with ``-d:nimOldDLLs`` to make the stdlib use the old DLL names.
|
||||
- Nim VM now treats objects as ``nkObjConstr`` nodes, and not ``nkPar`` nodes
|
||||
as it was previously. Macros that generate ``nkPar`` nodes when object is
|
||||
expected are likely to break. Macros that expect ``nkPar`` nodes to which
|
||||
objects are passed are likely to break as well.
|
||||
- Base methods now need to be annotated with the ``base`` pragma. This makes
|
||||
multi methods less error-prone to use with the effect system.
|
||||
- Nim's parser directive ``#!`` is now ``#?`` in order to produce no conflicts
|
||||
with Unix's ``#!``.
|
||||
- An implicit return type for an iterator is now deprecated. Use ``auto`` if
|
||||
you want more type inference.
|
||||
- The type ``auto`` is now a "multi-bind" metatype, so the following compiles:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: nim
|
||||
proc f(x, y: auto): auto =
|
||||
result = $x & y
|
||||
|
||||
echo f(0, "abc")
|
||||
- The ``ftpclient`` module is now deprecated in favour of the
|
||||
``asyncftpclient`` module.
|
||||
- In sequtils.nim renamed ``repeat`` function to ``cycle`` (concatenating
|
||||
a sequence by itself the given times), and also introduced ``repeat``,
|
||||
which repeats an element the given times.
|
||||
- The function ``map`` is moved to sequtils.nim. The inplace ``map`` version
|
||||
is renamed to ``apply``.
|
||||
- The template ``mapIt`` now doesn't require the result's type parameter.
|
||||
Also the inplace ``mapIt`` is renamed to ``apply``.
|
||||
|
||||
Library Additions
|
||||
-----------------
|
||||
|
||||
- The nre module has been added, providing a better interface to PCRE than re.
|
||||
- The ``expandSymlink`` proc has been added to the ``os`` module.
|
||||
- The ``tailDir`` proc has been added to the ``os`` module.
|
||||
- Define ``nimPinToCpu`` to make the ``threadpool`` use explicit thread
|
||||
affinities. This can speed up or slow down the thread pool; it's up to you
|
||||
to benchmark it.
|
||||
- ``strutils.formatFloat`` and ``formatBiggestFloat`` do not depend on the C
|
||||
locale anymore and now take an optional ``decimalSep = '.'`` parameter.
|
||||
- Added ``unicode.lastRune``, ``unicode.graphemeLen``.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Compiler Additions
|
||||
------------------
|
||||
|
||||
- The compiler now supports a new configuration system based on
|
||||
`NimScript <docs/nims.html>`_.
|
||||
- The compiler finally considers symbol binding rules in templates and
|
||||
generics for overloaded ``[]``, ``[]=``, ``{}``, ``{}=`` operators
|
||||
(issue `#2599 <https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/issues/2599>`_).
|
||||
- The compiler now supports a `bitsize pragma <docs/manual.html#pragmas-bitsize-pragma>`_
|
||||
for constructing bitfields.
|
||||
- Added a new ``--reportConceptFailures`` switch for better debugging of
|
||||
concept related type mismatches. This can also be used to debug
|
||||
``system.compiles`` failures.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Language Additions
|
||||
------------------
|
||||
|
||||
- ``system.unsafeAddr`` can be used to access the address of a ``let``
|
||||
variable or parameter for C interoperability. Since technically this
|
||||
makes parameters and ``let`` variables mutable, it is considered even more
|
||||
unsafe than the ordinary ``addr`` builtin.
|
||||
- Added ``macros.getImpl`` that can be used to access the implementation of
|
||||
a routine or a constant. This allows for example for user-defined inlining
|
||||
of function calls.
|
||||
- Tuple unpacking finally works in a non-var/let context: ``(x, y) = f()``
|
||||
is allowed. Note that this doesn't declare ``x`` and ``y`` variables, for
|
||||
this ``let (x, y) = f()`` still needs to be used.
|
||||
- ``when nimvm`` can now be used for compiletime versions of some code
|
||||
sections. Click `here <docs/manual.html#when-nimvm-statement>`_ for details.
|
||||
- Usage of the type ``NimNode`` in a proc now implicitly annotates the proc
|
||||
with ``.compileTime``. This means generics work much better for ``NimNode``.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||

2015-xx-xx Version 0.11.4 released
|
||||
==================================
|
||||
|
||||
Changes affecting backwards compatibility
|
||||
-----------------------------------------
|
||||
- ``tables.[]``, ``strtabs.[]``, ``critbits.[]`` **now raise**
|
||||
the ``KeyError`` **exception when the key does not exist**! Use the
|
||||
new ``getOrDefault`` instead to get the old behaviour. Compile all your
|
||||
code with ``-d:nimTableGet`` to get a listing of where your code
|
||||
uses ``[]``!
|
||||
- The ``rawsockets`` module has been renamed to ``nativesockets`` to avoid
|
||||
confusion with TCP/IP raw sockets, so ``newNativeSocket`` should be used
|
||||
instead of ``newRawSocket``.
|
||||
- The ``miliseconds`` property of ``times.TimeInterval`` is now ``milliseconds``.
|
||||
Code accessing that property is deprecated and code using ``miliseconds``
|
||||
during object initialization or as a named parameter of ``initInterval()``
|
||||
will need to be updated.
|
||||
- ``std.logging`` functions no longer do formatting and semantically treat
|
||||
their arguments just like ``echo`` does. Affected functions: ``log``,
|
||||
``debug``, ``info``, ``warn``, ``error``, ``fatal``. Custom subtypes of
|
||||
``Logger`` also need to be adjusted accordingly.
|
||||
- Floating point numbers can now look like ``2d`` (float64)
|
||||
and ``2f`` (float32) which means imports like ``import scene/2d/sprite``
|
||||
do not work anymore. Instead quotes have to be
|
||||
used: ``import "scene/2d/sprite"``. The former code never was valid Nim.
|
||||
- The Windows API wrapper (``windows.nim``) is now not part of the official
|
||||
distribution anymore. Instead use the ``oldwinapi`` Nimble package.
|
||||
- There is now a clear distinction between ``--os:standalone``
|
||||
and ``--gc:none``. So if you use ``--os:standalone`` ensure you also use
|
||||
``--gc:none``. ``--os:standalone`` without ``--gc:none`` is now a version
|
||||
that doesn't depend on any OS but includes the GC. However this version
|
||||
is currently untested!
|
||||
- All procedures which construct a ``Socket``/``AsyncSocket`` now need to
|
||||
specify the socket domain, type and protocol. The param name
|
||||
``typ: SockType`` (in ``newSocket``/``newAsyncSocket`` procs) was also
|
||||
renamed to ``sockType``. The param ``af`` in the ``connect`` procs was
|
||||
removed. This affects ``asyncnet``, ``asyncdispatch``, ``net``, and
|
||||
``rawsockets``.
|
||||
- ``varargs[typed]`` and ``varargs[untyped]`` have been refined and now work
|
||||
as expected. However ``varargs[untyped]`` is not an alias anymore for
|
||||
``varargs[expr]``. So if your code breaks for ``varargs[untyped]``, use
|
||||
``varargs[expr]`` instead. The same applies to ``varargs[typed]`` vs
|
||||
``varargs[stmt]``.
|
||||
- ``sequtils.delete`` doesn't take confusing default arguments anymore.
|
||||
- ``system.free`` was an error-prone alias to ``system.dealloc`` and has
|
||||
been removed.
|
||||
- ``macros.high`` never worked and the manual says ``high`` cannot be
|
||||
overloaded, so we removed it with no deprecation cycle.
|
||||
- To use the ``parallel`` statement you now have to
|
||||
use the ``--experimental`` mode.
|
||||
- Toplevel procs of calling convention ``closure`` never worked reliably
|
||||
and are now deprecated and will be removed from the language. Instead you
|
||||
have to insert type conversions
|
||||
like ``(proc (a, b: int) {.closure.})(myToplevelProc)`` if necessary.
|
||||
- The modules ``libffi``, ``sdl``, ``windows``, ``zipfiles``, ``libzip``,
|
||||
``zlib``, ``zzip``, ``dialogs``, ``expat``, ``graphics``, ``libcurl``,
|
||||
``sphinx`` have been moved out of the stdlib and are Nimble packages now.
|
||||
- The constant fights between 32 and 64 bit DLLs on Windows have been put to
|
||||
an end: The standard distribution now ships with 32 and 64 bit versions
|
||||
of all the DLLs the standard library needs. This means that the following
|
||||
DLLs are now split into 32 and 64 versions:
|
||||
|
||||
* ``pcre.dll``: Split into ``pcre32.dll`` and ``pcre64.dll``.
|
||||
* ``pdcurses.dll``: Split into ``pdcurses32.dll`` and ``pdcurses64.dll``.
|
||||
* ``sqlite3.dll``: Split into ``sqlite3_32.dll`` and ``sqlite3_64.dll``.
|
||||
* ``ssleay32.dll``: Split into ``ssleay32.dll`` and ``ssleay64.dll``.
|
||||
* ``libeay32.dll``: Split into ``libeay32.dll`` and ``libeay64.dll``.
|
||||
|
||||
Compile with ``-d:nimOldDLLs`` to make the stdlib use the old DLL names.
|
||||
- Nim VM now treats objects as ``nkObjConstr`` nodes, and not ``nkPar`` nodes
|
||||
as it was previously. Macros that generate ``nkPar`` nodes when object is
|
||||
expected are likely to break. Macros that expect ``nkPar`` nodes to which
|
||||
objects are passed are likely to break as well.
|
||||
- Base methods now need to be annotated with the ``base`` pragma. This makes
|
||||
multi methods less error-prone to use with the effect system.
|
||||
- Nim's parser directive ``#!`` is now ``#?`` in order to produce no conflicts
|
||||
with Unix's ``#!``.
|
||||
- An implicit return type for an iterator is now deprecated. Use ``auto`` if
|
||||
you want more type inference.
|
||||
- The type ``auto`` is now a "multi-bind" metatype, so the following compiles:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: nim
|
||||
proc f(x, y: auto): auto =
|
||||
result = $x & y
|
||||
|
||||
echo f(0, "abc")
|
||||
- The ``ftpclient`` module is now deprecated in favour of the
|
||||
``asyncftpclient`` module.
|
||||
- In sequtils.nim renamed ``repeat`` function to ``cycle`` (concatenating
|
||||
a sequence by itself the given times), and also introduced ``repeat``,
|
||||
which repeats an element the given times.
|
||||
- The function ``map`` is moved to sequtils.nim. The inplace ``map`` version
|
||||
is renamed to ``apply``.
|
||||
- The template ``mapIt`` now doesn't require the result's type parameter.
|
||||
Also the inplace ``mapIt`` is renamed to ``apply``.
|
||||
|
||||
Library Additions
|
||||
-----------------
|
||||
|
||||
- The nre module has been added, providing a better interface to PCRE than re.
|
||||
- The ``expandSymlink`` proc has been added to the ``os`` module.
|
||||
- The ``tailDir`` proc has been added to the ``os`` module.
|
||||
- Define ``nimPinToCpu`` to make the ``threadpool`` use explicit thread
|
||||
affinities. This can speed up or slow down the thread pool; it's up to you
|
||||
to benchmark it.
|
||||
- ``strutils.formatFloat`` and ``formatBiggestFloat`` do not depend on the C
|
||||
locale anymore and now take an optional ``decimalSep = '.'`` parameter.
|
||||
- Added ``unicode.lastRune``, ``unicode.graphemeLen``.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Compiler Additions
|
||||
------------------
|
||||
|
||||
- The compiler now supports a new configuration system based on
|
||||
`NimScript <docs/nims.html>`_.
|
||||
- The compiler finally considers symbol binding rules in templates and
|
||||
generics for overloaded ``[]``, ``[]=``, ``{}``, ``{}=`` operators
|
||||
(issue `#2599 <https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/issues/2599>`_).
|
||||
- The compiler now supports a `bitsize pragma <docs/manual.html#pragmas-bitsize-pragma>`_
|
||||
for constructing bitfields.
|
||||
- Added a new ``--reportConceptFailures`` switch for better debugging of
|
||||
concept related type mismatches. This can also be used to debug
|
||||
``system.compiles`` failures.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Language Additions
|
||||
------------------
|
||||
|
||||
- ``system.unsafeAddr`` can be used to access the address of a ``let``
|
||||
variable or parameter for C interoperability. Since technically this
|
||||
makes parameters and ``let`` variables mutable, it is considered even more
|
||||
unsafe than the ordinary ``addr`` builtin.
|
||||
- Added ``macros.getImpl`` that can be used to access the implementation of
|
||||
a routine or a constant. This allows for example for user-defined inlining
|
||||
of function calls.
|
||||
- Tuple unpacking finally works in a non-var/let context: ``(x, y) = f()``
|
||||
is allowed. Note that this doesn't declare ``x`` and ``y`` variables, for
|
||||
this ``let (x, y) = f()`` still needs to be used.
|
||||
- ``when nimvm`` can now be used for compiletime versions of some code
|
||||
sections. Click `here <docs/manual.html#when-nimvm-statement>`_ for details.
|
||||
- Usage of the type ``NimNode`` in a proc now implicitly annotates the proc
|
||||
with ``.compileTime``. This means generics work much better for ``NimNode``.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
