## v0.18.0 - 01/03/2018
|
||||
|
||||
### Changes affecting backwards compatibility
|
||||
|
||||
#### Breaking changes in the standard library
|
||||
|
||||
- The ``[]`` proc for strings now raises an ``IndexError`` exception when
|
||||
the specified slice is out of bounds. See issue
|
||||
[#6223](https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/issues/6223) for more details.
|
||||
You can use ``substr(str, start, finish)`` to get the old behaviour back,
|
||||
see [this commit](https://github.com/nim-lang/nimbot/commit/98cc031a27ea89947daa7f0bb536bcf86462941f) for an example.
|
||||
|
||||
- ``strutils.split`` and ``strutils.rsplit`` with an empty string and a
|
||||
separator now returns that empty string.
|
||||
See issue [#4377](https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/issues/4377).
|
||||
|
||||
- Arrays of char cannot be converted to ``cstring`` anymore, pointers to
|
||||
arrays of char can! This means ``$`` for arrays can finally exist
|
||||
in ``system.nim`` and do the right thing. This means ``$myArrayOfChar`` changed
|
||||
its behaviour! Compile with ``-d:nimNoArrayToString`` to see where to fix your
|
||||
code.
|
||||
|
||||
- `reExtended` is no longer default for the `re` constructor in the `re`
|
||||
module.
|
||||
|
||||
- The behavior of ``$`` has been changed for all standard library collections. The
|
||||
collection-to-string implementations now perform proper quoting and escaping of
|
||||
strings and chars.
|
||||
|
||||
- `newAsyncSocket` taking an `AsyncFD` now runs `setBlocking(false)` on the
|
||||
fd.
|
||||
|
||||
- ``mod`` and bitwise ``and`` do not produce ``range`` subtypes anymore. This
|
||||
turned out to be more harmful than helpful and the language is simpler
|
||||
without this special typing rule.
|
||||
|
||||
- ``formatFloat``/``formatBiggestFloat`` now support formatting floats with zero
|
||||
precision digits. The previous ``precision = 0`` behavior (default formatting)
|
||||
is now available via ``precision = -1``.
|
||||
|
||||
- Moved from stdlib into Nimble packages:
|
||||
- [``basic2d``](https://github.com/nim-lang/basic2d)
|
||||
_deprecated: use ``glm``, ``arraymancer``, ``neo``, or another package instead_
|
||||
- [``basic3d``](https://github.com/nim-lang/basic3d)
|
||||
_deprecated: use ``glm``, ``arraymancer``, ``neo``, or another package instead_
|
||||
- [``gentabs``](https://github.com/lcrees/gentabs)
|
||||
- [``libuv``](https://github.com/lcrees/libuv)
|
||||
- [``numeric``](https://github.com/lcrees/polynumeric)
|
||||
- [``poly``](https://github.com/lcrees/polynumeric)
|
||||
- [``pdcurses``](https://github.com/lcrees/pdcurses)
|
||||
- [``romans``](https://github.com/lcrees/romans)
|
||||
- [``libsvm``](https://github.com/nim-lang/libsvm_legacy)
|
||||
- [``joyent_http_parser``](https://github.com/nim-lang/joyent_http_parser)
|
||||
|
||||
- Proc [toCountTable](https://nim-lang.org/docs/tables.html#toCountTable,openArray[A])
|
||||
now produces a `CountTable` with values correspoding to the number of occurrences
|
||||
of the key in the input. It used to produce a table with all values set to `1`.
|
||||
|
||||
Counting occurrences in a sequence used to be:
|
||||
|
||||
```nim
|
||||
let mySeq = @[1, 2, 1, 3, 1, 4]
|
||||
var myCounter = initCountTable[int]()
|
||||
|
||||
for item in mySeq:
|
||||
myCounter.inc item
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Now, you can simply do:
|
||||
|
||||
```nim
|
||||
let
|
||||
mySeq = @[1, 2, 1, 3, 1, 4]
|
||||
myCounter = mySeq.toCountTable()
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- If you use ``--dynlibOverride:ssl`` with OpenSSL 1.0.x, you now have to
|
||||
define ``openssl10`` symbol (``-d:openssl10``). By default OpenSSL 1.1.x is
|
||||
assumed.
|
||||
|
||||
- ``newNativeSocket`` is now named ``createNativeSocket``.
|
||||
|
||||
- ``newAsyncNativeSocket`` is now named ``createAsyncNativeSocket``
|
||||
and it no longer raises an OS error but returns an ``osInvalidSocket`` when
|
||||
creation fails.
|
||||
|
||||
- The ``securehash`` module is now deprecated. Instead import ``std / sha1``.
|
||||
|
||||
- The ``readPasswordFromStdin`` proc has been moved from the ``rdstdin``
|
||||
to the ``terminal`` module, thus it does not depend on linenoise anymore.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Breaking changes in the compiler
|
||||
|
||||
- ``\n`` is now only the single line feed character like in most
|
||||
other programming languages. The new platform specific newline escape sequence is
|
||||
written as ``\p``. This change only affects the Windows platform.
|
||||
|
||||
- The overloading rules changed slightly so that constrained generics are
|
||||
preferred over unconstrained generics. (Bug #6526)
|
||||
|
||||
- We changed how array accesses "from backwards" like ``a[^1]`` or ``a[0..^1]`` are
|
||||
implemented. These are now implemented purely in ``system.nim`` without compiler
|
||||
support. There is a new "heterogenous" slice type ``system.HSlice`` that takes 2
|
||||
generic parameters which can be ``BackwardsIndex`` indices. ``BackwardsIndex`` is
|
||||
produced by ``system.^``.
|
||||
This means if you overload ``[]`` or ``[]=`` you need to ensure they also work
|
||||
with ``system.BackwardsIndex`` (if applicable for the accessors).
|
||||
|
||||
- The parsing rules of ``if`` expressions were changed so that multiple
|
||||
statements are allowed in the branches. We found few code examples that
|
||||
now fail because of this change, but here is one:
|
||||
|
||||
```nim
|
||||
t[ti] = if exp_negative: '-' else: '+'; inc(ti)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This now needs to be written as:
|
||||
|
||||
```nim
|
||||
t[ti] = (if exp_negative: '-' else: '+'); inc(ti)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- The experimental overloading of the dot ``.`` operators now take
|
||||
an ``untyped``` parameter as the field name, it used to be
|
||||
a ``static[string]``. You can use ``when defined(nimNewDot)`` to make
|
||||
your code work with both old and new Nim versions.
|
||||
See [special-operators](https://nim-lang.org/docs/manual.html#special-operators)
|
||||
for more information.
|
||||
|
||||
- ``yield`` (or ``await`` which is mapped to ``yield``) never worked reliably
|
||||
in an array, seq or object constructor and is now prevented at compile-time.
|
||||
|
||||
### Library additions
|
||||
|
||||
- **Added ``sequtils.mapLiterals`` for easier construction of array and tuple literals.**
|
||||
|
||||
- Added ``system.runnableExamples`` to make examples in Nim's documentation easier
|
||||
to write and test. The examples are tested as the last step of
|
||||
``nim doc``.
|
||||
|
||||
- Implemented ``getIoHandler`` proc in the ``asyncdispatch`` module that allows
|
||||
you to retrieve the underlying IO Completion Port or ``Selector[AsyncData]``
|
||||
object in the specified dispatcher.
|
||||
|
||||
- For string formatting / interpolation a new module
|
||||
called [strformat](https://nim-lang.org/docs/strformat.html) has been added
|
||||
to the stdlib.
|
||||
|
||||
- The `ReadyKey` type in the selectors module now contains an ``errorCode``
|
||||
field to help distinguish between ``Event.Error`` events.
|
||||
|
||||
- Implemented an `accept` proc that works on a `SocketHandle` in
|
||||
``nativesockets``.
|
||||
|
||||
- Added ``algorithm.rotateLeft``.
|
||||
|
||||
- Added ``typetraits.$`` as an alias for ``typetraits.name``.
|
||||
|
||||
- Added ``system.getStackTraceEntries`` that allows you to access the stack
|
||||
trace in a structured manner without string parsing.
|
||||
|
||||
- Added ``parseutils.parseSaturatedNatural``.
|
||||
|
||||
- Added ``macros.unpackVarargs``.
|
||||
|
||||
- Added support for asynchronous programming for the JavaScript backend using
|
||||
the `asyncjs` module.
|
||||
|
||||
- Added true color support for some terminals. Example:
|
||||
```nim
|
||||
import colors, terminal
|
||||
|
||||
const Nim = "Efficient and expressive programming."
|
||||
|
||||
var
|
||||
fg = colYellow
|
||||
bg = colBlue
|
||||
int = 1.0
|
||||
|
||||
enableTrueColors()
|
||||
|
||||
for i in 1..15:
|
||||
styledEcho bgColor, bg, fgColor, fg, Nim, resetStyle
|
||||
int -= 0.01
|
||||
fg = intensity(fg, int)
|
||||
|
||||
setForegroundColor colRed
|
||||
setBackgroundColor colGreen
|
||||
styledEcho "Red on Green.", resetStyle
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Library changes
|
||||
|
||||
- ``echo`` now works with strings that contain ``\0`` (the binary zero is not
|
||||
shown) and ``nil`` strings are equal to empty strings.
|
||||
|
||||
- JSON: Deprecated `getBVal`, `getFNum`, and `getNum` in favour of
|
||||
`getBool`, `getFloat`, `getBiggestInt`. A new `getInt` procedure was also
|
||||
added.
|
||||
|
||||
- ``rationals.toRational`` now uses an algorithm based on continued fractions.
|
||||
This means its results are more precise and it can't run into an infinite loop
|
||||
anymore.
|
||||
|
||||
- ``os.getEnv`` now takes an optional ``default`` parameter that tells ``getEnv``
|
||||
what to return if the environment variable does not exist.
|
||||
|
||||
- The ``random`` procs in ``random.nim`` have all been deprecated. Instead use
|
||||
the new ``rand`` procs. The module now exports the state of the random
|
||||
number generator as type ``Rand`` so multiple threads can easily use their
|
||||
own random number generators that do not require locking. For more information
|
||||
about this rename see issue [#6934](https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/issues/6934)
|
||||
|
||||
- ``writeStackTrace`` is now proclaimed to have no IO effect (even though it does)
|
||||
so that it is more useful for debugging purposes.
|
||||
|
||||
- ``db_mysql`` module: ``DbConn`` is now a ``distinct`` type that doesn't expose the
|
||||
details of the underlying ``PMySQL`` type.
|
||||
|
||||
- ``parseopt2`` is now deprecated, use ``parseopt`` instead.
|
||||
|
||||
### Language additions
|
||||
|
||||
- It is now possible to forward declare object types so that mutually
|
||||
recursive types can be created across module boundaries. See
|
||||
[package level objects](https://nim-lang.org/docs/manual.html#package-level-objects)
|
||||
for more information.
|
||||
|
||||
- Added support for casting between integers of same bitsize in VM (compile time and nimscript).
|
||||
This allows to, among other things, reinterpret signed integers as unsigned.
|
||||
|
||||
- Custom pragmas are now supported using pragma ``pragma``, please see language
|
||||
manual for details.
|
||||
|
||||
- Standard library modules can now also be imported via the ``std`` pseudo-directory.
|
||||
This is useful in order to distinguish between standard library and nimble package
|
||||
imports:
|
||||
|
||||
```nim
|
||||
import std / [strutils, os, osproc]
|
||||
import someNimblePackage / [strutils, os]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Language changes
|
||||
|
||||
- The **unary** ``<`` is now deprecated, for ``.. <`` use ``..<`` for other usages
|
||||
use the ``pred`` proc.
|
||||
|
||||
- Bodies of ``for`` loops now get their own scope:
|
||||
|
||||
```nim
|
||||
# now compiles:
|
||||
for i in 0..4:
|
||||
let i = i + 1
|
||||
echo i
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- To make Nim even more robust the system iterators ``..`` and ``countup``
|
||||
now only accept a single generic type ``T``. This means the following code
|
||||
doesn't die with an "out of range" error anymore:
|
||||
|
||||
```nim
|
||||
var b = 5.Natural
|
||||
var a = -5
|
||||
for i in a..b:
|
||||
echo i
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- ``atomic`` and ``generic`` are no longer keywords in Nim. ``generic`` used to be
|
||||
an alias for ``concept``, ``atomic`` was not used for anything.
|
||||
|
||||
- The memory manager now uses a variant of the TLSF algorithm that has much
|
||||
better memory fragmentation behaviour. According
|
||||
to [http://www.gii.upv.es/tlsf/](http://www.gii.upv.es/tlsf/) the maximum
|
||||
fragmentation measured is lower than 25%. As a nice bonus ``alloc`` and
|
||||
``dealloc`` became O(1) operations.
|
||||
|
||||
- The compiler is now more consistent in its treatment of ambiguous symbols:
|
||||
Types that shadow procs and vice versa are marked as ambiguous (bug #6693).
|
||||
|
||||
- codegenDecl pragma now works for the JavaScript backend. It returns an empty
|
||||
string for function return type placeholders.
|
||||
|
||||
- Extra semantic checks for procs with noreturn pragma: return type is not allowed,
|
||||
statements after call to noreturn procs are no longer allowed.
|
||||
|
||||
- Noreturn proc calls and raising exceptions branches are now skipped during common type
|
||||
deduction in ``if`` and ``case`` expressions. The following code snippets now compile:
|
||||
```nim
|
||||
import strutils
|
||||
let str = "Y"
|
||||
let a = case str:
|
||||
of "Y": true
|
||||
of "N": false
|
||||
else: raise newException(ValueError, "Invalid boolean")
|
||||
let b = case str:
|
||||
of nil, "": raise newException(ValueError, "Invalid boolean")
|
||||
elif str.startsWith("Y"): true
|
||||
elif str.startsWith("N"): false
|
||||
else: false
|
||||
let c = if str == "Y": true
|
||||
elif str == "N": false
|
||||
else:
|
||||
echo "invalid bool"
|
||||
quit("this is the end")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- Pragmas now support call syntax, for example: ``{.exportc"myname".}`` and
|
||||
``{.exportc("myname").}``
|
||||
|
||||
- The ``deprecated`` pragma now supports a user-definable warning message for procs.
|
||||
|
||||
```nim
|
||||
proc bar {.deprecated: "use foo instead".} =
|
||||
return
|
||||
|
||||
bar()
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Tool changes
|
||||
|
||||
- The ``nim doc`` command is now an alias for ``nim doc2``, the second version of
|
||||
the documentation generator. The old version 1 can still be accessed
|
||||
via the new ``nim doc0`` command.
|
||||
|
||||
- Nim's ``rst2html`` command now supports the testing of code snippets via an RST
|
||||
extension that we called ``:test:``::
|
||||
|
||||
```rst
|
||||
.. code-block:: nim
|
||||
:test:
|
||||
# shows how the 'if' statement works
|
||||
if true: echo "yes"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

## v0.19.X - XX/XX/2018
|
||||
|
||||
### Changes affecting backwards compatibility
|
||||
|
||||
- The stdlib module ``future`` has been renamed to ``sugar``.
|
||||
- ``macros.callsite`` is now deprecated. Since the introduction of ``varargs``
|
||||
parameters this became unnecessary.
|
||||
- Anonymous tuples with a single element can now be written as ``(1,)`` with a
|
||||
trailing comma. The underlying AST is ``nnkTupleConstr(newLit 1)`` for this
|
||||
example. ``nnkTupleConstr`` is a new node kind your macros need to be able
|
||||
to deal with!
|
||||
- Indexing into a ``cstring`` for the JS target is now mapped
|
||||
to ``charCodeAt``.
|
||||
- Assignments that would "slice" an object into its supertype are now prevented
|
||||
at runtime. Use ``ref object`` with inheritance rather than ``object`` with
|
||||
inheritance to prevent this issue.
|
||||
- The ``not nil`` type annotation now has to be enabled explicitly
|
||||
via ``{.experimental: "notnil"}`` as we are still not pleased with how this
|
||||
feature works with Nim's containers.
|
||||
- The parser now warns about inconsistent spacing around binary operators as
|
||||
these can easily be confused with unary operators. This warning will likely
|
||||
become an error in the future.
|
||||
- The ``'c`` and ``'C'`` suffix for octal literals is now deprecated to
|
||||
bring the language in line with the standard library (e.g. ``parseOct``).
|
||||
- The dot style for import paths (e.g ``import path.to.module`` instead of
|
||||
``import path/to/module``) has been deprecated.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Breaking changes in the standard library
|
||||
|
||||
- ``re.split`` for empty regular expressions now yields every character in
|
||||
the string which is what other programming languages chose to do.
|
||||
- The returned tuple of ``system.instantiationInfo`` now has a third field
|
||||
containing the column of the instantiation.
|
||||
|
||||
- ``cookies.setCookie`` no longer assumes UTC for the expiration date.
|
||||
- ``strutils.formatEng`` does not distinguish between ``nil`` and ``""``
|
||||
strings anymore for its ``unit`` parameter. Instead the space is controlled
|
||||
by a new parameter ``useUnitSpace``.
|
||||
|
||||
- The ``times.parse`` and ``times.format`` procs have been rewritten.
|
||||
The proc signatures are the same so it should generally not break anything.
|
||||
However, the new implementation is a bit stricter, which is a breaking change.
|
||||
For example ``parse("2017-01-01 foo", "yyyy-MM-dd")`` will now raise an error.
|
||||
|
||||
- ``proc `-`*(a, b: Time): int64`` in the ``times`` module has changed return type
|
||||
to ``times.Duration`` in order to support higher time resolutions.
|
||||
The proc is no longer deprecated.
|
||||
|
||||
- The ``times.Timezone`` is now an immutable ref-type that must be initialized
|
||||
with an explicit constructor (``newTimezone``).
|
||||
|
||||
- ``posix.Timeval.tv_sec`` has changed type to ``posix.Time``.
|
||||
|
||||
- ``math.`mod` `` for floats now behaves the same as ``mod`` for integers
|
||||
(previously it used floor division like Python). Use ``math.floorMod`` for the old behavior.
|
||||
|
||||
- For string inputs, ``unicode.isUpper`` and ``unicode.isLower`` now require a
|
||||
second mandatory parameter ``skipNonAlpha``.
|
||||
|
||||
- For string inputs, ``strutils.isUpperAscii`` and ``strutils.isLowerAscii`` now
|
||||
require a second mandatory parameter ``skipNonAlpha``.
|
||||
|
||||
- ``osLastError`` is now marked with ``sideEffect``
|
||||
- The procs ``parseHexInt`` and ``parseOctInt`` now fail on empty strings
|
||||
and strings containing only valid prefixes, e.g. "0x" for hex integers.
|
||||
|
||||
- ``terminal.setCursorPos`` and ``terminal.setCursorXPos`` now work correctly
|
||||
with 0-based coordinates on POSIX (previously, you needed to use
|
||||
1-based coordinates on POSIX for correct behaviour; the Windows behaviour
|
||||
was always correct).
|
||||
|
||||
- ``lineInfoObj`` now returns absolute path instead of project path.
|
||||
It's used by ``lineInfo``, ``check``, ``expect``, ``require``, etc.
|
||||
|
||||
- ``net.sendTo`` no longer returns an int and now raises an ``OSError``.
|
||||
- `threadpool`'s `await` and derivatives have been renamed to `blockUntil`
|
||||
to avoid confusions with `await` from the `async` macro.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
#### Breaking changes in the compiler
|
||||
|
||||
- The undocumented ``#? braces`` parsing mode was removed.
|
||||
- The undocumented PHP backend was removed.
|
||||
- The default location of ``nimcache`` for the native code targets was
|
||||
changed. Read [the compiler user guide](https://nim-lang.org/docs/nimc.html#generated-c-code-directory)
|
||||
for more information.
|
||||
|
||||
### Library additions
|
||||
|
||||
- ``re.split`` now also supports the ``maxsplit`` parameter for consistency
|
||||
with ``strutils.split``.
|
||||
- Added ``system.toOpenArray`` in order to support zero-copy slicing
|
||||
operations. This is currently not yet available for the JavaScript target.
|
||||
- Added ``getCurrentDir``, ``findExe``, ``cpDir`` and ``mvDir`` procs to
|
||||
``nimscript``.
|
||||
- The ``times`` module now supports up to nanosecond time resolution when available.
|
||||
- Added the type ``times.Duration`` for representing fixed durations of time.
|
||||
- Added the proc ``times.convert`` for converting between different time units,
|
||||
e.g days to seconds.
|
||||
- Added the proc ``algorithm.binarySearch[T, K]`` with the ```cmp``` parameter.
|
||||
- Added the proc ``algorithm.upperBound``.
|
||||
- Added inverse hyperbolic functions, ``math.arcsinh``, ``math.arccosh`` and ``math.arctanh`` procs.
|
||||
- Added cotangent, secant and cosecant procs ``math.cot``, ``math.sec`` and ``math.csc``; and their hyperbolic, inverse and inverse hyperbolic functions, ``math.coth``, ``math.sech``, ``math.csch``, ``math.arccot``, ``math.arcsec``, ``math.arccsc``, ``math.arccoth``, ``math.arcsech`` and ``math.arccsch`` procs.
|
||||
- Added the procs ``math.floorMod`` and ``math.floorDiv`` for floor based integer division.
|
||||
- Added the procs ``rationals.`div```, ``rationals.`mod```, ``rationals.floorDiv`` and ``rationals.floorMod`` for rationals.
|
||||
- Added the proc ``math.prod`` for product of elements in openArray.
|
||||
- Added the proc ``parseBinInt`` to parse a binary integer from a string, which returns the value.
|
||||
- ``parseOct`` and ``parseBin`` in parseutils now also support the ``maxLen`` argument similar to ``parseHexInt``.
|
||||
- Added the proc ``flush`` for memory mapped files.
|
||||
- Added the ``MemMapFileStream``.
|
||||
- Added a simple interpreting event parser template ``eventParser`` to the ``pegs`` module.
|
||||
- Added ``macros.copyLineInfo`` to copy lineInfo from other node.
|
||||
- Added ``system.ashr`` an arithmetic right shift for integers.
|
||||
|
||||
### Library changes
|
||||
|
||||
- ``macros.astGenRepr``, ``macros.lispRepr`` and ``macros.treeRepr``
|
||||
now escapes the content of string literals consistently.
|
||||
- ``macros.NimSym`` and ``macros.NimIdent`` is now deprecated in favor
|
||||
of the more general ``NimNode``.
|
||||
- ``macros.getImpl`` now includes the pragmas of types, instead of omitting them.
|
||||
- ``macros.hasCustomPragma`` and ``macros.getCustomPragmaVal`` now
|
||||
also support ``ref`` and ``ptr`` types, pragmas on types and variant
|
||||
fields.
|
||||
- ``system.SomeReal`` is now called ``SomeFloat`` for consistency and
|
||||
correctness.
|
||||
- ``algorithm.smartBinarySearch`` and ``algorithm.binarySearch`` is
|
||||
now joined in ``binarySearch``. ``smartbinarySearch`` is now
|
||||
deprecated.
|
||||
- The `terminal` module now exports additional procs for generating ANSI color
|
||||
codes as strings.
|
||||
- Added the parameter ``val`` for the ``CritBitTree[int].inc`` proc.
|
||||
- An exception raised from a ``test`` block of ``unittest`` now shows its type in
|
||||
error message.
|
||||
- The ``compiler/nimeval`` API was rewritten to simplify the "compiler as an
|
||||
API". Using the Nim compiler and its VM as a scripting engine has never been
|
||||
easier. See ``tests/compilerapi/tcompilerapi.nim`` for an example of how to
|
||||
use the Nim VM in a native Nim application.
|
||||
- Added the parameter ``val`` for the ``CritBitTree[T].incl`` proc.
|
||||
- The proc ``tgamma`` was renamed to ``gamma``. ``tgamma`` is deprecated.
|
||||
- The ``pegs`` module now exports getters for the fields of its ``Peg`` and ``NonTerminal``
|
||||
object types. ``Peg``s with child nodes now have the standard ``items`` and ``pairs``
|
||||
iterators.
|
||||
- The ``accept`` socket procedure defined in the ``net`` module can now accept
|
||||
a nil socket.
|
||||
|
||||
### Language additions
|
||||
|
||||
- Dot calls combined with explicit generic instantiations can now be written
|
||||
as ``x.y[:z]`` which is transformed into ``y[z](x)`` by the parser.
|
||||
- ``func`` is now an alias for ``proc {.noSideEffect.}``.
|
||||
- In order to make ``for`` loops and iterators more flexible to use Nim now
|
||||
supports so called "for-loop macros". See
|
||||
the [manual](manual.html#macros-for-loop-macros) for more details.
|
||||
This feature enables a Python-like generic ``enumerate`` implementation.
|
||||
|
||||
- Case statements can now be rewritten via macros. See the [manual](manual.html#macros-case-statement-macros) for more information.
|
||||
This feature enables custom pattern matchers.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
- the `typedesc` special type has been renamed to just `type`.
|
||||
- `static` and `type` are now also modifiers similar to `ref` and `ptr`.
|
||||
They denote the special types `static[T]` and `type[T]`.
|
||||
- Forcing compile-time evaluation with `static` now supports specifying
|
||||
the desired target type (as a concrete type or as a type class)
|
||||
- The `type` operator now supports checking that the supplied expression
|
||||
matches an expected type constraint.
|
||||
|
||||
### Language changes
|
||||
|
||||
- The `importcpp` pragma now allows importing the listed fields of generic
|
||||
C++ types. Support for numeric parameters have also been added through
|
||||
the use of `static[T]` types.
|
||||
(#6415)
|
||||
|
||||
- Native C++ exceptions can now be imported with `importcpp` pragma.
|
||||
Imported exceptions can be raised and caught just like Nim exceptions.
|
||||
More details in language manual.
|
||||
|
||||
- ``nil`` for strings/seqs is finally gone. Instead the default value for
|
||||
these is ``"" / @[]``. Use ``--nilseqs:on`` for a transition period.
|
||||
|
||||
- Accessing the binary zero terminator in Nim's native strings
|
||||
is now invalid. Internally a Nim string still has the trailing zero for
|
||||
zero-copy interoperability with ``cstring``. Compile your code with the
|
||||
new switch ``--laxStrings:on`` if you need a transition period.
|
||||
|
||||
- The command syntax now supports keyword arguments after the first comma.
|
||||
|
||||
- Thread-local variables can now be declared inside procs. This implies all
|
||||
the effects of the ``global`` pragma.
|
||||
|
||||
- Nim now supports the ``except`` clause in the export statement.
|
||||
|
||||
- Range float types, example ``range[0.0 .. Inf]``. More details in language manual.
|
||||
- The ``{.this.}`` pragma has been deprecated. It never worked within generics and
|
||||
we found the resulting code harder to read than the more explicit ``obj.field``
|
||||
syntax.
|
||||
- "Memory regions" for pointer types have been deprecated, they were hardly used
|
||||
anywhere. Note that this has **nothing** to do with the ``--gc:regions`` switch
|
||||
of managing memory.
|
||||
|
||||
- The exception hierarchy was slightly reworked, ``SystemError`` was renamed to
|
||||
``CatchableError`` and is the new base class for any exception that is guaranteed to
|
||||
be catchable. This change should have minimal impact on most existing Nim code.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Tool changes
|
||||
|
||||
- ``jsondoc2`` has been renamed ``jsondoc``, similar to how ``doc2`` was renamed
|
||||
``doc``. The old ``jsondoc`` can still be invoked with ``jsondoc0``.
|
||||
|
||||
### Compiler changes
|
||||
|
||||
- The VM's instruction count limit was raised to 3 million instructions in
|
||||
order to support more complex computations at compile-time.
|
||||
|
||||
- Support for hot code reloading has been implemented for the JavaScript
|
||||
target. To use it, compile your code with `--hotCodeReloading:on` and use a
|
||||
helper library such as LiveReload or BrowserSync.
|
||||
|
||||
- A new compiler option `--cppCompileToNamespace` puts the generated C++ code
|
||||
into the namespace "Nim" in order to avoid naming conflicts with existing
|
||||
C++ code. This is done for all Nim code - internal and exported.
|
||||
|
||||
- Added ``macros.getProjectPath`` and ``ospaths.putEnv`` procs to Nim's virtual
|
||||
machine.
|
||||
|
||||
- The ``deadCodeElim`` option is now always turned on and the switch has no
|
||||
effect anymore, but is recognized for backwards compatibility.
|
||||
|
||||
- ``experimental`` is now a pragma / command line switch that can enable specific
|
||||
language extensions, it is not an all-or-nothing switch anymore.
|
||||
|
||||
- Nintendo Switch was added as a new platform target. See [the compiler user guide](https://nim-lang.org/docs/nimc.html)
|
||||
for more info.
|
||||
|
||||
- macros.bindSym now capable to accepts not only literal string or string constant expression.
|
||||
bindSym enhancement make it also can accepts computed string or ident node inside macros /
|
||||
compile time functions / static blocks. Only in templates / regular code it retains it's old behavior.
|
||||
This new feature can be accessed via {.experimental: "dynamicBindSym".} pragma/switch.
|
||||
|
||||
- On Posix systems the global system wide configuration is now put under ``/etc/nim/nim.cfg``,
|
||||
it used to be ``/etc/nim.cfg``. Usually it does not exist, however.
|
||||
|
||||
- On Posix systems the user configuration is now looked under ``$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/nim/nim.cfg``
|
||||
(if ``XDG_CONFIG_HOME`` is not defined, then under ``~/.config/nim/nim.cfg``). It used to be
|
||||
``$XDG_CONFIG_DIR/nim.cfg`` (and ``~/.config/nim.cfg``).
|
||||
|
||||
Similarly, on Windows, the user configuration is now looked under ``%APPDATA%/nim/nim.cfg``.
|
||||
This used to be ``%APPDATA%/nim.cfg``.
