 - The `Math.trunc` polyfill for targeting Internet Explorer was

 - `shallowCopy` is removed for ARC/ORC. Use `move` when possible or combine assignment and
 `sink` for optimization purposes.

 - Module `colors` expanded with missing colors from the CSS color standard.
  `colPaleVioletRed` and `colMediumPurple` have also been changed to match the CSS color standard.
 - Fixed `lists.SinglyLinkedList` being broken after removing the last node ([#19353](https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/19353)).
- `md5` now works at compile time and in JavaScript.
+- The `md5` module now works at compile time and in JavaScript.
 - `std/smtp` sends `ehlo` first. If the mail server does not understand, it sends `helo` as a fallback.
 - Changed `mimedb` to use an `OrderedTable` instead of `OrderedTableRef` to support `const` tables.
- `strutils.find` now use and default to `last=-1` for whole string searches, making limiting it to just the first char (`last=0`) valid.

 - `random.rand` now works with `Ordinal`s.

 [//]: # "Additions:"
- Added `times.IsoWeekRange`, a range type to represent the number of weeks in an ISO week-based year.
- Added `times.IsoYear`, a distinct int type to prevent bugs from confusing the week-based year and the regular year.
- Added `times.initDateTime` to create a datetime from a weekday, and ISO 8601 week number and week-based year.
- Added `times.getIsoWeekAndYear` to get an ISO week number along with the corresponding ISO week-based year from a datetime.
- Added `times.getIsoWeeksInYear` to return the number of weeks in an ISO week-based year.
+- Added ISO 8601 week date utilities in `times`:
+  - Added `IsoWeekRange`, a range type for weeks in a week-based year.
+  - Added `IsoYear`, a distinct type for a week-based year in contrast to a regular year.
+  - Added a `initDateTime` overload to create a datetime from an ISO week date.
+  - Added `getIsoWeekAndYear` to get an ISO week number and week-based year from a datetime.
+  - Added `getIsoWeeksInYear` to return the number of weeks in a week-based year.
 - Added `std/oserrors` for OS error reporting. Added `std/envvars` for environment variables handling.
 - Added `sep` parameter in `std/uri` to specify the query separator.
 - Added bindings to [`Array.shift`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/shift)

 ## Language changes

- [Tag tracking](manual.html#tag-tracking) supports the definition of forbidden tags by the `.forbids` pragma
+- [Tag tracking](https://nim-lang.github.io/Nim/manual.html#effect-system-tag-tracking) supports the definition of forbidden tags by the `.forbids` pragma
  which can be used to disable certain effects in proc types.
- [Case statement macros](manual.html#macros-case-statement-macros) are no longer experimental,
+- [Case statement macros](https://nim-lang.github.io/Nim/manual.html#macros-case-statement-macros) are no longer experimental,
  meaning you no longer need to enable the experimental switch `caseStmtMacros` to use them.
- Templates now accept [macro pragmas](https://nim-lang.github.io/Nim/manual.html#userminusdefined-pragmas-macro-pragmas).
- Macro pragmas for var/let/const sections have been redesigned in a way that works
-  similarly to routine macro pragmas. The new behavior is documented in the
-  [experimental manual](https://nim-lang.github.io/Nim/manual_experimental.html#extended-macro-pragmas).
- Pragma macros on type definitions can now return `nnkTypeSection` nodes as well as `nnkTypeDef`,
-  allowing multiple type definitions to be injected in place of the original type definition.
-
-  ```nim
-  import macros
-
-  macro multiply(amount: static int, s: untyped): untyped =
-    let name = $s[0].basename
-    result = newNimNode(nnkTypeSection)
-    for i in 1 .. amount:
-      result.add(newTree(nnkTypeDef, ident(name & $i), s[1], s[2]))

-    Baz = object
-  ```
 - Full command syntax and block arguments i.e. `foo a, b: c` are now allowed
  for the right-hand side of type definitions in type sections. Previously
  they would error with "invalid indentation".
 - `defined` now accepts identifiers separated by dots, i.e. `defined(a.b.c)`.
  In the command line, this is defined as `-d:a.b.c`. Older versions can
  use accents as in ``defined(`a.b.c`)`` to access such defines.
+- [Macro pragmas](https://nim-lang.github.io/Nim/manual.html#userminusdefined-pragmas-macro-pragmas) changes:

- Defines the `gcRefc` symbol which allows writing specific code for the refc GC.

+    macro multiply(amount: static int, s: untyped): untyped =
+      let name = $s[0].basename
+      result = newNimNode(nnkTypeSection)

 ## Compiler changes

+- The `gc` switch has been renamed to `mm` ("memory management") in order to reflect the
+  reality better. (Nim moved away from all techniques based on "tracing".)
+  
+- Defines the `gcRefc` symbol which allows writing specific code for the refc GC.
+
 - `nim` can now compile version 1.4.0 as follows: `nim c --lib:lib --stylecheck:off compiler/nim`,
  without requiring `-d:nimVersion140` which is now a noop.

 - `--styleCheck` now only applies to the current package.

+- The switch `--nimMainPrefix:prefix` has been added to add a prefix to the names of `NimMain` and
+  related functions produced on the backend. This prevents conflicts with other Nim
+  static libraries.

 ## Tool changes

- The `gc` switch has been renamed to `mm` ("memory management") in order to reflect the
-  reality better. (Nim moved away from all techniques based on "tracing".)
-
 - Nim now supports Nimble version 0.14 which added support for lock-files. This is done by
  a simple configuration change setting that you can do yourself too. In `$nim/config/nim.cfg`
  replace `pkgs` by `pkgs2`.

- There is a new switch `--nimMainPrefix:prefix` to influence the `NimMain` that the
-  compiler produces. This is particularly useful for generating static libraries.
