 version 0.9.0
 =============
 
+- change overloading resolution
+- implicit ref/ptr->var conversion
 - deprecate ``var x, y = 0`` as it's confusing for tuple consistency
 - finish support for unsigned ints:
   - support more unsigned operations
@@ -53,12 +55,9 @@ version 0.9.XX
 - make 'clamp' a magic for the range stuff
 - implement a warning message for shadowed 'result' variable
 - implement the high level optimizer
-- change overloading resolution
 - we need to support iteration of 2 different data structures in parallel
 - implement proper coroutines
-- implicit ref/ptr->var conversion; the compiler may store an object
-  implicitly on the heap for write barrier efficiency; better: 
-  proc specialization in the code gen
+- proc specialization in the code gen for write barrier specialization
 - tlastmod returns wrong results on BSD (Linux, MacOS X: works)
 - nested tuple unpacking; tuple unpacking in non-var-context
 - 'nimrod def': does not always work?
