 ## Changes affecting backward compatibility
-- `httpclient.contentLength` default to `-1` if the Content-Length header is not set in the response, it followed Apache HttpClient(Java), http(go) and .Net HttpWebResponse(C#) behavior. Previously it raised `ValueError`.
 
-- `addr` is now available for all addressable locations,
-  `unsafeAddr` is now deprecated and an alias for `addr`.
-
-- Certain definitions from the default `system` module have been moved to
-  the following new modules:
-
-  - `std/syncio`
-  - `std/assertions`
-  - `std/formatfloat`
-  - `std/objectdollar`
-  - `std/widestrs`
-  - `std/typedthreads`
-  - `std/sysatomics`
-
-  In the future, these definitions will be removed from the `system` module,
-  and their respective modules will have to be imported to use them.
-  Currently, to make these imports required, the `-d:nimPreviewSlimSystem` option
-  may be used.
-
-- Enabling `-d:nimPreviewSlimSystem` also removes the following deprecated
-  symbols in the `system` module:
-  - Aliases with `Error` suffix to exception types that have a `Defect` suffix
-    (see [exceptions](https://nim-lang.org/docs/exceptions.html)):
-    `ArithmeticError`, `DivByZeroError`, `OverflowError`,
-    `AccessViolationError`, `AssertionError`, `OutOfMemError`, `IndexError`,
-    `FieldError`, `RangeError`, `StackOverflowError`, `ReraiseError`,
-    `ObjectAssignmentError`, `ObjectConversionError`, `FloatingPointError`,
-    `FloatOverflowError`, `FloatUnderflowError`, `FloatInexactError`,
-    `DeadThreadError`, `NilAccessError`
-  - `addQuitProc`, replaced by `exitprocs.addExitProc`
-  - Legacy unsigned conversion operations: `ze`, `ze64`, `toU8`, `toU16`, `toU32`
-  - `TaintedString`, formerly a distinct alias to `string`
-  - `PInt32`, `PInt64`, `PFloat32`, `PFloat64`, aliases to
-    `ptr int32`, `ptr int64`, `ptr float32`, `ptr float64`
-
-- Enabling `-d:nimPreviewSlimSystem` removes the import of `channels_builtin` in
-  in the `system` module.
-
-- Enabling `-d:nimPreviewCstringConversion`, `ptr char`, `ptr array[N, char]` and `ptr UncheckedArray[N, char]` don't support conversion to cstring anymore.
-
-- The `gc:v2` option is removed.
-
-- The `mainmodule` and `m` options are removed.
-
-- The `threads:on` option is now the default.
-
-- Optional parameters in combination with `: body` syntax (RFC #405) are now opt-in via
-  `experimental:flexibleOptionalParams`.
-
-- Automatic dereferencing (experimental feature) is removed.
-
-- The `Math.trunc` polyfill for targeting Internet Explorer was
-  previously included in most JavaScript output files.
-  Now, it is only included with `-d:nimJsMathTruncPolyfill`.
-  If you are targeting Internet Explorer, you may choose to enable this option
-  or define your own `Math.trunc` polyfill using the [`emit` pragma](https://nim-lang.org/docs/manual.html#implementation-specific-pragmas-emit-pragma).
-  Nim uses `Math.trunc` for the division and modulo operators for integers.
-
-- `shallowCopy` and `shallow` are removed for ARC/ORC. Use `move` when possible or combine assignment and
-`sink` for optimization purposes.
-
-- The `nimPreviewDotLikeOps` define is going to be removed or deprecated.
-
-- The `{.this.}` pragma, deprecated since 0.19, has been removed.
-- `nil` literals can no longer be directly assigned to variables or fields of `distinct` pointer types. They must be converted instead.
-  ```nim
-  type Foo = distinct ptr int
-
-  # Before:
-  var x: Foo = nil
-  # After:
-  var x: Foo = Foo(nil)
-  ```
-- Removed two type pragma syntaxes deprecated since 0.20, namely
-  `type Foo = object {.final.}`, and `type Foo {.final.} [T] = object`.
-
-- [Overloadable enums](https://nim-lang.github.io/Nim/manual.html#overloadable-enum-value-names) and Unicode Operators
-  are no longer experimental.
-
-- Removed the `nimIncrSeqV3` define.
-
-- `macros.getImpl` for `const` symbols now returns the full definition node
-  (as `nnkConstDef`) rather than the AST of the constant value.
-
-- Lock levels are deprecated, now a noop.
-
-- ORC is now the default memory management strategy. Use
-  `--mm:refc` for a transition period.
-
-- `strictEffects` are no longer experimental.
-  Use `legacy:laxEffects` to keep backward compatibility.
-
-- The `gorge`/`staticExec` calls will now return a descriptive message in the output
-  if the execution fails for whatever reason. To get back legacy behaviour use `-d:nimLegacyGorgeErrors`.
-
-- Pointer to `cstring` conversion now triggers a `[PtrToCstringConv]` warning.
-  This warning will become an error in future versions! Use a `cast` operation
-  like `cast[cstring](x)` instead.
-
-- `logging` will default to flushing all log level messages. To get the legacy behaviour of only flushing Error and Fatal messages, use `-d:nimV1LogFlushBehavior`.
-
-- Object fields now support default values, see https://nim-lang.github.io/Nim/manual.html#types-default-values-for-object-fields for details.
-
-- Using an unnamed break in a block is deprecated. This warning will become an error in future versions! Use a named block with a named break instead.
 
 ## Standard library additions and changes
 
 [//]: # "Changes:"
-- OpenSSL 3 is now supported.
-- `macros.parseExpr` and `macros.parseStmt` now accept an optional
-  filename argument for more informative errors.
-- 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)).
-- The `md5` module now works at compile time and in JavaScript.
-- Changed `mimedb` to use an `OrderedTable` instead of `OrderedTableRef` to support `const` tables.
-- `strutils.find` now uses and defaults 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.
-- Undeprecated `os.isvalidfilename`.
-- `std/oids` now uses `int64` to store time internally (before it was int32).
-- `std/uri.Uri` dollar `$` improved, precalculates the `string` result length from the `Uri`.
-- `std/uri.Uri.isIpv6` is now exported.
-- `std/logging.ConsoleLogger` and `FileLogger` now have a `flushThreshold` attribute to set what log message levels are automatically flushed. For Nim v1 use `-d:nimFlushAllLogs` to automatically flush all message levels. Flushing all logs is the default behavior for Nim v2.
-
-
-- `std/net.IpAddress` dollar `$` improved, uses a fixed capacity for the `string` result based from the `IpAddressFamily`.
-- `std/jsfetch.newFetchOptions` now has default values for all parameters
-- `std/jsformdata` now accepts `Blob` data type.
 
 
 [//]: # "Additions:"
-- 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 new modules which were part of `std/os`:
-  - Added `std/oserrors` for OS error reporting. Added `std/envvars` for environment variables handling.
-  - Added `std/paths`, `std/dirs`, `std/files`, `std/symlinks` and `std/appdirs`.
-- 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)
-  and [`queueMicrotask`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/queueMicrotask)
-  in `jscore` for JavaScript targets.
-- Added `UppercaseLetters`, `LowercaseLetters`, `PunctuationChars`, `PrintableChars` sets to `std/strutils`.
-- Added `complex.sgn` for obtaining the phase of complex numbers.
-- Added `insertAdjacentText`, `insertAdjacentElement`, `insertAdjacentHTML`,

 ## Language changes
 
-- [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](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.
-- 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:
-  - Templates now accept 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]))
-    type
-      Foo = object
-      Bar {.multiply: 3.} = object
-        x, y, z: int
-      Baz = object
-    # becomes
-    type
-      Foo = object
-      Bar1 = object
-        x, y, z: int
-      Bar2 = object
-        x, y, z: int
-      Bar3 = object
-        x, y, z: int
-      Baz = object
-    ```
-
-- Redefining templates with the same signature implicitly was previously
-  allowed to support certain macro code. A `{.redefine.}` pragma has been
-  added to make this work explicitly, and a warning is generated in the case
-  where it is implicit. This behavior only applies to templates, redefinition
-  is generally disallowed for other symbols.
-
-- A new form of type inference called [top-down inference](https://nim-lang.github.io/Nim/manual_experimental.html#topminusdown-type-inference)
-  has been implemented for a variety of basic cases. For example, code like the following now compiles:
-
-  ```nim
-  let foo: seq[(float, byte, cstring)] = @[(1, 2, "abc")]
-  ```
-
-- `cstring` is now accepted as a selector in `case` statements, removing the
-  need to convert to `string`. On the JS backend, this is translated directly
-  to a `switch` statement.
-
-- Nim now supports `out` parameters and ["strict definitions"](https://nim-lang.github.io/Nim/manual_experimental.html#strict-definitions-and-nimout-parameters).
-- Nim now offers a [strict mode](https://nim-lang.github.io/Nim/manual_experimental.html#strict-case-objects) for `case objects`.
 
 
 ## 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`, `--hintAsError` and `--warningAsError` now only apply 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.
-
-- When compiling for Release the flag `-fno-math-errno` is used for GCC.
-
 
 ## Tool changes
 
-- 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`.
+- koch now allows bootstrapping with `-d:nimHasLibFFI`, replacing the older option of building the compiler directly w/ the `libffi` nimble package in tow.

-- `std/sharedlist` and `std/sharedtables` are now deprecated, see RFC [#433](https://github.com/nim-lang/RFCs/issues/433).
-
-### New compile flag (`-d:nimNoGetRandom`) when building `std/sysrand` to remove dependency on linux `getrandom` syscall
-
-This compile flag only affects linux builds and is necessary if either compiling on a linux kernel version < 3.17, or if code built will be executing on kernel < 3.17.
-
-On linux kernels < 3.17 (such as kernel 3.10 in RHEL7 and CentOS7), the `getrandom` syscall was not yet introduced. Without this, the `std/sysrand` module will not build properly, and if code is built on a kernel >= 3.17 without the flag, any usage of the `std/sysrand` module will fail to execute on a kernel < 3.17 (since it attempts to perform a syscall to `getrandom`, which isn't present in the current kernel). A compile flag has been added to force the `std/sysrand` module to use /dev/urandom (available since linux kernel 1.3.30), rather than the `getrandom` syscall. This allows for use of a cryptographically secure PRNG, regardless of kernel support for the `getrandom` syscall.
-
-When building for RHEL7/CentOS7 for example, the entire build process for nim from a source package would then be:
-```sh
-$ yum install devtoolset-8 # Install GCC version 8 vs the standard 4.8.5 on RHEL7/CentOS7. Alternatively use -d:nimEmulateOverflowChecks. See issue #13692 for details
-$ scl enable devtoolset-8 bash # Run bash shell with default toolchain of gcc 8
-$ sh build.sh  # per unix install instructions
-$ bin/nim c koch  # per unix install instructions
-$ ./koch boot -d:release  # per unix install instructions
-$ ./koch tools -d:nimNoGetRandom  # pass the nimNoGetRandom flag to compile std/sysrand without support for getrandom syscall
-```
-
-This is necessary to pass when building nim on kernel versions < 3.17 in particular to avoid an error of "SYS_getrandom undeclared" during the build process for stdlib (sysrand in particular).

+# v2.0.0 - 2023-08-01
+
+Version 2.0 is a big milestone with too many changes to list them all here.
+
+For a full list see [details](changelog_2_0_0_details.html).
+
+
+## New features
+
+### Better tuple unpacking
+
+Tuple unpacking for variables is now treated as syntax sugar that directly
+expands into multiple assignments. Along with this, tuple unpacking for
+variables can now be nested.
+
+```nim
+proc returnsNestedTuple(): (int, (int, int), int, int) = (4, (5, 7), 2, 3)
+
+# Now nesting is supported!
+let (x, (_, y), _, z) = returnsNestedTuple()
+
+```
+
+### Improved type inference
+
+A new form of type inference called [top-down inference](https://nim-lang.github.io/Nim/manual_experimental.html#topminusdown-type-inference) has been implemented for a variety of basic cases.
+
+For example, code like the following now compiles:
+
+```nim
+let foo: seq[(float, byte, cstring)] = @[(1, 2, "abc")]
+```
+
+### Forbidden Tags
+
+[Tag tracking](https://nim-lang.github.io/Nim/manual.html#effect-system-tag-tracking) now supports the definition
+of forbidden tags by the `.forbids` pragma which can be used to disable certain effects in proc types.
+
+For example:
+
+```nim
+
+type IO = object ## input/output effect
+proc readLine(): string {.tags: [IO].} = discard
+proc echoLine(): void = discard
+
+proc no_IO_please() {.forbids: [IO].} =
+  # this is OK because it didn't define any tag:
+  echoLine()
+  # the compiler prevents this:
+  let y = readLine()
+
+```
+
+### New standard library modules
+
+The famous `os` module got an overhaul. Several of its features are available
+under a new interface that introduces a `Path` abstraction. A `Path` is
+a `distinct string`, which improves the type safety when dealing with paths, files
+and directories.
+
+Use:
+
+- `std/oserrors` for OS error reporting.
+- `std/envvars` for environment variables handling.
+- `std/paths` for path handling.
+- `std/dirs` for directory creation/deletion/traversal.
+- `std/files` for file existence checking, file deletions and moves.
+- `std/symlinks` for symlink handling.
+- `std/appdirs` for accessing configuration/home/temp directories.
+- `std/cmdline` for reading command line parameters.
+
+### Consistent underscore handling
+
+The underscore identifier (`_`) is now generally not added to scope when
+used as the name of a definition. While this was already the case for
+variables, it is now also the case for routine parameters, generic
+parameters, routine declarations, type declarations, etc. This means that the following code now does not compile:
+
+```nim
+proc foo(_: int): int = _ + 1
+echo foo(1)
+
+proc foo[_](t: typedesc[_]): seq[_] = @[default(_)]
+echo foo[int]()
+
+proc _() = echo "_"
+_()
+
+type _ = int
+let x: _ = 3
+```
+
+Whereas the following code now compiles:
+
+```nim
+proc foo(_, _: int): int = 123
+echo foo(1, 2)
+
+proc foo[_, _](): int = 123
+echo foo[int, bool]()
+
+proc foo[T, U](_: typedesc[T], _: typedesc[U]): (T, U) = (default(T), default(U))
+echo foo(int, bool)
+
+proc _() = echo "one"
+proc _() = echo "two"
+
+type _ = int
+type _ = float
+```
+
+### JavaScript codegen improvement
+
+The JavaScript backend now uses [BigInt](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/BigInt)
+for 64-bit integer types (`int64` and `uint64`) by default. As this affects
+JS code generation, code using these types to interface with the JS backend
+may need to be updated. Note that `int` and `uint` are not affected.
+
+For compatibility with [platforms that do not support BigInt](https://caniuse.com/bigint)
+and in the case of potential bugs with the new implementation, the
+old behavior is currently still supported with the command line option
+`--jsbigint64:off`.
+
+
+## Docgen improvements
+
+`Markdown` is now the default markup language of doc comments (instead
+of the legacy `RstMarkdown` mode). In this release we begin to separate
+RST and Markdown features to better follow specification of each
+language, with the focus on Markdown development.
+See also [the docs](https://nim-lang.github.io/Nim/markdown_rst.html).
+
+* Added a `{.doctype: Markdown | RST | RstMarkdown.}` pragma allowing to
+  select the markup language mode in the doc comments of the current `.nim`
+  file for processing by `nim doc`:
+
+    1. `Markdown` (default) is basically CommonMark (standard Markdown) +
+        some Pandoc Markdown features + some RST features that are missing
+        in our current implementation of CommonMark and Pandoc Markdown.
+    2. `RST` closely follows the RST spec with few additional Nim features.
+    3. `RstMarkdown` is a maximum mix of RST and Markdown features, which
+        is kept for the sake of compatibility and ease of migration.
+
+* Added separate `md2html` and `rst2html` commands for processing
+  standalone `.md` and `.rst` files respectively (and also `md2tex`/`rst2tex`).
+
+* Added Pandoc Markdown bracket syntax `[...]` for making anchor-less links.
+* Docgen now supports concise syntax for referencing Nim symbols:
+  instead of specifying HTML anchors directly one can use original
+  Nim symbol declarations (adding the aforementioned link brackets
+  `[...]` around them).
+  * To use this feature across modules, a new `importdoc` directive was added.
+    Using this feature for referencing also helps to ensure that links
+    (inside one module or the whole project) are not broken.
+* Added support for RST & Markdown quote blocks (blocks starting with `>`).
+* Added a popular Markdown definition lists extension.
+* Added Markdown indented code blocks (blocks indented by >= 4 spaces).
+* Added syntax for additional parameters to Markdown code blocks:
+
+       ```nim test="nim c $1"
+       ...
+       ```
+
+
+## C++ interop enhancements
+
+Nim 2.0 takes C++ interop to the next level. With the new [virtual](https://nim-lang.github.io/Nim/manual_experimental.html#virtual-pragma) pragma and the extended [constructor](https://nim-lang.github.io/Nim/manual_experimental.html#constructor-pragma) pragma.
+Now one can define constructors and virtual procs that maps to C++ constructors and virtual methods, allowing one to further customize
+the interoperability. There is also extended support for the [codeGenDecl](https://nim-lang.org/docs/manual.html#implementation-specific-pragmas-codegendecl-pragma) pragma, so that it works on types.
+
+It's a common pattern in C++ to use inheritance to extend a library. Some even use multiple inheritance as a mechanism to make interfaces.
+
+Consider the following example:
+
+```cpp
+
+struct Base {
+  int someValue;
+  Base(int inValue)  {
+    someValue = inValue;
+  };
+};
+
+class IPrinter {
+public:
+  virtual void print() = 0;
+};
+```
+
+```nim
+
+type
+  Base* {.importcpp, inheritable.} = object
+    someValue*: int32
+  IPrinter* {.importcpp.} = object
+
+const objTemplate = """
+  struct $1 : public $3, public IPrinter {
+    $2
+  };
+""";
+
+type NimChild {.codegenDecl: objTemplate .} = object of Base
+
+proc makeNimChild(val: int32): NimChild {.constructor: "NimClass('1 #1) : Base(#1)".} =
+  echo "It calls the base constructor passing " & $this.someValue
+  this.someValue = val * 2 # Notice how we can access `this` inside the constructor. It's of the type `ptr NimChild`.
+
+proc print*(self: NimChild) {.virtual.} =
+  echo "Some value is " & $self.someValue
+
+let child = makeNimChild(10)
+child.print()
+```
+
+It outputs:
+
+```
+It calls the base constructor passing 10
+Some value is 20
+```
+
+
+## ARC/ORC refinements
+
+With the 2.0 release, the ARC/ORC model got refined once again and is now finally complete:
+
+1. Programmers now have control over the "item was moved from" state as `=wasMoved` is overridable.
+2. There is a new `=dup` hook which is more efficient than the old combination of `=wasMoved(tmp); =copy(tmp, x)` operations.
+3. Destructors now take a parameter of the attached object type `T` directly and don't have to take a `var T` parameter.
+
+With these important optimizations we improved the runtime of the compiler and important benchmarks by 0%! Wait ... what?
+Yes, unfortunately it turns out that for a modern optimizer like in GCC or LLVM there is no difference.
+
+But! This refined model is more efficient once separate compilation enters the picture. In other words, as we think of
+providing a stable ABI it is important not to lose any efficiency in the calling conventions.
+
+
+## Tool changes
+
+- Nim now ships Nimble version 0.14 which added support for lock-files. Libraries are stored in `$nimbleDir/pkgs2` (it was `$nimbleDir/pkgs` before). Use `nimble develop --global` to create an old style link file in the special links directory documented at https://github.com/nim-lang/nimble#nimble-develop.
+- nimgrep now offers the option `--inContext` (and `--notInContext`), which
+  allows to filter only matches with the context block containing a given pattern.
+- nimgrep: names of options containing "include/exclude" are deprecated,
+  e.g. instead of `--includeFile` and `--excludeFile` we have
+  `--filename` and `--notFilename` respectively.
+  Also, the semantics are now consistent for such positive/negative filters.
+- Nim now ships with an alternative package manager called Atlas. More on this in upcoming versions.
+
+
+## Porting guide
+
+### Block and Break
+
+Using an unnamed break in a block is deprecated. This warning will become an error in future versions! Use a named block with a named break instead. In other words, turn:
+
+```nim
+
+block:
+  a()
+  if cond:
+    break
+  b()
+
+```
+
+Into:
+
+```nim
+
+block maybePerformB:
+  a()
+  if cond:
+    break maybePerformB
+  b()
+
+```
+
+### Strict funcs
+
+The definition of `"strictFuncs"` was changed.
+The old definition was roughly: "A store to a ref/ptr deref is forbidden unless it's coming from a `var T` parameter".
+The new definition is: "A store to a ref/ptr deref is forbidden."
+
+This new definition is much easier to understand, the price is some expressitivity. The following code used to be
+accepted:
+
+```nim
+
+{.experimental: "strictFuncs".}
+
+type Node = ref object
+  s: string
+
+func create(s: string): Node =
+  result = Node()
+  result.s = s # store to result[]
+
+```
+
+Now it has to be rewritten to:
+
+```nim
+
+{.experimental: "strictFuncs".}
+
+type Node = ref object
+  s: string
+
+func create(s: string): Node =
+  result = Node(s: s)
+
+```
+
+### Standard library
+
+Several standard library modules have been moved to nimble packages, use `nimble` or `atlas` to install them:
+
+- `std/punycode` => `punycode`
+- `std/asyncftpclient` => `asyncftpclient`
+- `std/smtp` => `smtp`
+- `std/db_common` => `db_connector/db_common`
+- `std/db_sqlite` => `db_connector/db_sqlite`
+- `std/db_mysql` => `db_connector/db_mysql`
+- `std/db_postgres` => `db_connector/db_postgres`
+- `std/db_odbc` => `db_connector/db_odbc`
+- `std/md5` => `checksums/md5`
+- `std/sha1` => `checksums/sha1`
+- `std/sums` => `sums`

+# v2.0.0 - 2023-08-01
+
+
+## Changes affecting backward compatibility
+
+- ORC is now the default memory management strategy. Use
+  `--mm:refc` for a transition period.
+
+- The `threads:on` option is now the default.
+
+- `httpclient.contentLength` default to `-1` if the Content-Length header is not set in the response. It follows Apache's `HttpClient` (Java), `http` (go) and .NET `HttpWebResponse` (C#) behaviors. Previously it raised a `ValueError`.
+
+- `addr` is now available for all addressable locations,
+  `unsafeAddr` is now deprecated and an alias for `addr`.
+
+- Certain definitions from the default `system` module have been moved to
+  the following new modules:
+
+  - `std/syncio`
+  - `std/assertions`
+  - `std/formatfloat`
+  - `std/objectdollar`
+  - `std/widestrs`
+  - `std/typedthreads`
+  - `std/sysatomics`
+
+  In the future, these definitions will be removed from the `system` module,
+  and their respective modules will have to be imported to use them.
+  Currently, to make these imports required, the `-d:nimPreviewSlimSystem` option
+  may be used.
+
+- Enabling `-d:nimPreviewSlimSystem` also removes the following deprecated
+  symbols in the `system` module:
+  - Aliases with an `Error` suffix to exception types that have a `Defect` suffix
+    (see [exceptions](https://nim-lang.github.io/Nim/exceptions.html)):
+    `ArithmeticError`, `DivByZeroError`, `OverflowError`,
+    `AccessViolationError`, `AssertionError`, `OutOfMemError`, `IndexError`,
+    `FieldError`, `RangeError`, `StackOverflowError`, `ReraiseError`,
+    `ObjectAssignmentError`, `ObjectConversionError`, `FloatingPointError`,
+    `FloatOverflowError`, `FloatUnderflowError`, `FloatInexactError`,
+    `DeadThreadError`, `NilAccessError`
+  - `addQuitProc`, replaced by `exitprocs.addExitProc`
+  - Legacy unsigned conversion operations: `ze`, `ze64`, `toU8`, `toU16`, `toU32`
+  - `TaintedString`, formerly a distinct alias to `string`
+  - `PInt32`, `PInt64`, `PFloat32`, `PFloat64`, aliases to
+    `ptr int32`, `ptr int64`, `ptr float32`, `ptr float64`
+
+- Enabling `-d:nimPreviewSlimSystem` removes the import of `channels_builtin` in
+  in the `system` module, which is replaced by [threading/channels](https://github.com/nim-lang/threading/blob/master/threading/channels.nim). Use the command `nimble install threading` and import `threading/channels`.
+
+- Enabling `-d:nimPreviewCstringConversion` causes `ptr char`, `ptr array[N, char]` and `ptr UncheckedArray[N, char]` to not support conversion to `cstring` anymore.
+
+- Enabling `-d:nimPreviewProcConversion` causes `proc` to not support conversion to
+  `pointer` anymore. `cast` may be used instead.
+
+- The `gc:v2` option is removed.
+
+- The `mainmodule` and `m` options are removed.
+
+- Optional parameters in combination with `: body` syntax ([RFC #405](https://github.com/nim-lang/RFCs/issues/405))
+  are now opt-in via `experimental:flexibleOptionalParams`.
+
+- Automatic dereferencing (experimental feature) is removed.
+
+- The `Math.trunc` polyfill for targeting Internet Explorer was
+  previously included in most JavaScript output files.
+  Now, it is only included with `-d:nimJsMathTruncPolyfill`.
+  If you are targeting Internet Explorer, you may choose to enable this option
+  or define your own `Math.trunc` polyfill using the [`emit` pragma](https://nim-lang.org/docs/manual.html#implementation-specific-pragmas-emit-pragma).
+  Nim uses `Math.trunc` for the division and modulo operators for integers.
+
+- `shallowCopy` and `shallow` are removed for ARC/ORC. Use `move` when possible or combine assignment and
+`sink` for optimization purposes.
+
+- The experimental `nimPreviewDotLikeOps` switch is going to be removed or deprecated because it didn't fullfill its promises.
+
+- The `{.this.}` pragma, deprecated since 0.19, has been removed.
+- `nil` literals can no longer be directly assigned to variables or fields of `distinct` pointer types. They must be converted instead.
+  ```nim
+  type Foo = distinct ptr int
+
+  # Before:
+  var x: Foo = nil
+  # After:
+  var x: Foo = Foo(nil)
+  ```
+- Removed two type pragma syntaxes deprecated since 0.20, namely
+  `type Foo = object {.final.}`, and `type Foo {.final.} [T] = object`. Instead,
+  use `type Foo[T] {.final.} = object`.
+
+- `foo a = b` now means `foo(a = b)` rather than `foo(a) = b`. This is consistent
+  with the existing behavior of `foo a, b = c` meaning `foo(a, b = c)`.
+  This decision was made with the assumption that the old syntax was used rarely;
+  if your code used the old syntax, please be aware of this change.
+
+- [Overloadable enums](https://nim-lang.github.io/Nim/manual.html#overloadable-enum-value-names) and Unicode Operators
+  are no longer experimental.
+
+- `macros.getImpl` for `const` symbols now returns the full definition node
+  (as `nnkConstDef`) rather than the AST of the constant value.
+
+- Lock levels are deprecated, now a noop.
+
+- `strictEffects` are no longer experimental.
+  Use `legacy:laxEffects` to keep backward compatibility.
+
+- The `gorge`/`staticExec` calls will now return a descriptive message in the output
+  if the execution fails for whatever reason. To get back legacy behaviour, use `-d:nimLegacyGorgeErrors`.
+
+- Pointer to `cstring` conversions now trigger a `[PtrToCstringConv]` warning.
+  This warning will become an error in future versions! Use a `cast` operation
+  like `cast[cstring](x)` instead.
+
+- `logging` will default to flushing all log level messages. To get the legacy behaviour of only flushing Error and Fatal messages, use `-d:nimV1LogFlushBehavior`.
+
+- Redefining templates with the same signature was previously
+  allowed to support certain macro code. To do this explicitly, the
+  `{.redefine.}` pragma has been added. Note that this is only for templates.
+  Implicit redefinition of templates is now deprecated and will give an error in the future.
+
+- Using an unnamed break in a block is deprecated. This warning will become an error in future versions! Use a named block with a named break instead.
+
+- Several Standard libraries have been moved to nimble packages, use `nimble` to install them:
+  - `std/punycode` => `punycode`
+  - `std/asyncftpclient` => `asyncftpclient`
+  - `std/smtp` => `smtp`
+  - `std/db_common` => `db_connector/db_common`
+  - `std/db_sqlite` => `db_connector/db_sqlite`
+  - `std/db_mysql` => `db_connector/db_mysql`
+  - `std/db_postgres` => `db_connector/db_postgres`
+  - `std/db_odbc` => `db_connector/db_odbc`
+  - `std/md5` => `checksums/md5`
+  - `std/sha1` => `checksums/sha1`
+  - `std/sums` => `std/sums`
+
+- Previously, calls like `foo(a, b): ...` or `foo(a, b) do: ...` where the final argument of
+  `foo` had type `proc ()` were assumed by the compiler to mean `foo(a, b, proc () = ...)`.
+  This behavior is now deprecated. Use `foo(a, b) do (): ...` or `foo(a, b, proc () = ...)` instead.
+
+- When `--warning[BareExcept]:on` is enabled, if an `except` specifies no exception or any exception not inheriting from `Defect` or `CatchableError`, a `warnBareExcept` warning will be triggered. For example, the following code will emit a warning:
+  ```nim
+  try:
+    discard
+  except: # Warning: The bare except clause is deprecated; use `except CatchableError:` instead [BareExcept]
+    discard
+  ```
+
+- The experimental `strictFuncs` feature now disallows a store to the heap via a `ref` or `ptr` indirection.
+
+- The underscore identifier (`_`) is now generally not added to scope when
+  used as the name of a definition. While this was already the case for
+  variables, it is now also the case for routine parameters, generic
+  parameters, routine declarations, type declarations, etc. This means that the following code now does not compile:
+
+  ```nim
+  proc foo(_: int): int = _ + 1
+  echo foo(1)
+
+  proc foo[_](t: typedesc[_]): seq[_] = @[default(_)]
+  echo foo[int]()
+
+  proc _() = echo "_"
+  _()
+
+  type _ = int
+  let x: _ = 3
+  ```
+
+  Whereas the following code now compiles:
+
+  ```nim
+  proc foo(_, _: int): int = 123
+  echo foo(1, 2)
+
+  proc foo[_, _](): int = 123
+  echo foo[int, bool]()
+
+  proc foo[T, U](_: typedesc[T], _: typedesc[U]): (T, U) = (default(T), default(U))
+  echo foo(int, bool)
+
+  proc _() = echo "one"
+  proc _() = echo "two"
+
+  type _ = int
+  type _ = float
+  ```
+
+- Added the `--legacy:verboseTypeMismatch` switch to get legacy type mismatch error messages.
+
+- The JavaScript backend now uses [BigInt](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/BigInt)
+  for 64-bit integer types (`int64` and `uint64`) by default. As this affects
+  JS code generation, code using these types to interface with the JS backend
+  may need to be updated. Note that `int` and `uint` are not affected.
+
+  For compatibility with [platforms that do not support BigInt](https://caniuse.com/bigint)
+  and in the case of potential bugs with the new implementation, the
+  old behavior is currently still supported with the command line option
+  `--jsbigint64:off`.
+
+- The `proc` and `iterator` type classes now respectively only match
+  procs and iterators. Previously both type classes matched any of
+  procs or iterators.
+
+  ```nim
+  proc prc(): int =
+    123
+
+  iterator iter(): int =
+    yield 123
+
+  proc takesProc[T: proc](x: T) = discard
+  proc takesIter[T: iterator](x: T) = discard
+
+  # always compiled:
+  takesProc(prc)
+  takesIter(iter)
+  # no longer compiles:
+  takesProc(iter)
+  takesIter(prc)
+  ```
+
+- The `proc` and `iterator` type classes now accept a calling convention pragma
+  (i.e. `proc {.closure.}`) that must be shared by matching proc or iterator
+  types. Previously, pragmas were parsed but discarded if no parameter list
+  was given.
+
+  This is represented in the AST by an `nnkProcTy`/`nnkIteratorTy` node with
+  an `nnkEmpty` node in the place of the `nnkFormalParams` node, and the pragma
+  node in the same place as in a concrete `proc` or `iterator` type node. This
+  state of the AST may be unexpected to existing code, both due to the
+  replacement of the `nnkFormalParams` node as well as having child nodes
+  unlike other type class AST.
+
+- Signed integer literals in `set` literals now default to a range type of
+  `0..255` instead of `0..65535` (the maximum size of sets).
+
+- `case` statements with `else` branches put before `elif`/`of` branches in macros
+  are rejected with "invalid order of case branches".
+
+- Destructors now default to `.raises: []` (i.e. destructors must not raise
+  unlisted exceptions) and explicitly raising destructors are implementation
+  defined behavior.
+
+- The very old, undocumented `deprecated` pragma statement syntax for
+  deprecated aliases is now a no-op. The regular deprecated pragma syntax is
+  generally sufficient instead.
+
+  ```nim
+  # now does nothing:
+  {.deprecated: [OldName: NewName].}
+
+  # instead use:
+  type OldName* {.deprecated: "use NewName instead".} = NewName
+  const oldName* {.deprecated: "use newName instead".} = newName
+  ```
+
+  `defined(nimalias)` can be used to check for versions when this syntax was
+  available; however since code that used this syntax is usually very old,
+  these deprecated aliases are likely not used anymore and it may make sense
+  to simply remove these statements.
+
+- `getProgramResult` and `setProgramResult` in `std/exitprocs` are no longer
+  declared when they are not available on the backend. Previously it would call
+  `doAssert false` at runtime despite the condition being checkable at compile-time.
+
+- Custom destructors now supports non-var parameters, e.g. ``proc `=destroy`[T: object](x: T)`` is valid. ``proc `=destroy`[T: object](x: var T)`` is deprecated.
+
+- Relative imports will not resolve to searched paths anymore, e.g. `import ./tables` now reports an error properly.
+
+## Standard library additions and changes
+
+[//]: # "Changes:"
+- OpenSSL 3 is now supported.
+- `macros.parseExpr` and `macros.parseStmt` now accept an optional
+  `filename` argument for more informative errors.
+- The `colors` module is 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)).
+- The `md5` module now works at compile time and in JavaScript.
+- Changed `mimedb` to use an `OrderedTable` instead of `OrderedTableRef`, to support `const` tables.
+- `strutils.find` now uses and defaults to `last = -1` for whole string searches,
+  making limiting it to just the first char (`last = 0`) valid.
+- `strutils.split` and `strutils.rsplit` now return the source string as a single element for an empty separator.
+- `random.rand` now works with `Ordinal`s.
+- Undeprecated `os.isvalidfilename`.
+- `std/oids` now uses `int64` to store time internally (before, it was int32).
+- `std/uri.Uri` dollar (`$`) improved, precalculates the `string` result length from the `Uri`.
+- `std/uri.Uri.isIpv6` is now exported.
+- `std/logging.ConsoleLogger` and `FileLogger` now have a `flushThreshold` attribute to set what log message levels are automatically flushed. For Nim v1 use `-d:nimFlushAllLogs` to automatically flush all message levels. Flushing all logs is the default behavior for Nim v2.
+
+
+- `std/jsfetch.newFetchOptions` now has default values for all parameters.
+- `std/jsformdata` now accepts the `Blob` data type.
+
+- `std/sharedlist` and `std/sharedtables` are now deprecated, see [RFC #433](https://github.com/nim-lang/RFCs/issues/433).
+
+- There is a new compile flag (`-d:nimNoGetRandom`) when building `std/sysrand` to remove the dependency on the Linux `getrandom` syscall.
+
+  This compile flag only affects Linux builds and is necessary if either compiling on a Linux kernel version < 3.17, or if code built will be executing on kernel < 3.17.
+
+  On Linux kernels < 3.17 (such as kernel 3.10 in RHEL7 and CentOS7), the `getrandom` syscall was not yet introduced. Without this, the `std/sysrand` module will not build properly, and if code is built on a kernel >= 3.17 without the flag, any usage of the `std/sysrand` module will fail to execute on a kernel < 3.17 (since it attempts to perform a syscall to `getrandom`, which isn't present in the current kernel). A compile flag has been added to force the `std/sysrand` module to use /dev/urandom (available since Linux kernel 1.3.30), rather than the `getrandom` syscall. This allows for use of a cryptographically secure PRNG, regardless of kernel support for the `getrandom` syscall.
+
+  When building for RHEL7/CentOS7 for example, the entire build process for nim from a source package would then be:
+  ```sh
+  $ yum install devtoolset-8 # Install GCC version 8 vs the standard 4.8.5 on RHEL7/CentOS7. Alternatively use -d:nimEmulateOverflowChecks. See issue #13692 for details
+  $ scl enable devtoolset-8 bash # Run bash shell with default toolchain of gcc 8
+  $ sh build.sh  # per unix install instructions
+  $ bin/nim c koch  # per unix install instructions
+  $ ./koch boot -d:release  # per unix install instructions
+  $ ./koch tools -d:nimNoGetRandom  # pass the nimNoGetRandom flag to compile std/sysrand without support for getrandom syscall
+  ```
+
+  This is necessary to pass when building Nim on kernel versions < 3.17 in particular to avoid an error of "SYS_getrandom undeclared" during the build process for the stdlib (`sysrand` in particular).
+

+  + Added `toDateString`, `toISOString`, `toJSON`, `toTimeString`, `toUTCString` converters for `DateTime`.
+- Added `BackwardsIndex` overload for `CacheSeq`.
+- Added support for nested `with` blocks in `std/with`.

+
+
+## Language changes
+
+- [Tag tracking](https://nim-lang.github.io/Nim/manual.html#effect-system-tag-tracking) now supports the definition of forbidden tags by the `.forbids` pragma
+  which can be used to disable certain effects in proc types.
+- [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.
+- 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".
+
+- Compile-time define changes:
+  - `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 backticks as in ``defined(`a.b.c`)`` to access such defines.
+  - [Define pragmas for constants](https://nim-lang.github.io/Nim/manual.html#implementation-specific-pragmas-compileminustime-define-pragmas)
+    now support a string argument for qualified define names.
+
+    ```nim
+    # -d:package.FooBar=42
+    const FooBar {.intdefine: "package.FooBar".}: int = 5
+    echo FooBar # 42
+    ```
+
+    This was added to help disambiguate similar define names for different packages.
+    In older versions, this could only be achieved with something like the following:
+
+    ```nim
+    const FooBar = block:
+      const `package.FooBar` {.intdefine.}: int = 5
+      `package.FooBar`
+    ```
+  - A generic `define` pragma for constants has been added that interprets
+    the value of the define based on the type of the constant value.
+    See the [experimental manual](https://nim-lang.github.io/Nim/manual_experimental.html#generic-nimdefine-pragma)
+    for a list of supported types.
+
+- [Macro pragmas](https://nim-lang.github.io/Nim/manual.html#userminusdefined-pragmas-macro-pragmas) changes:
+  - Templates now accept 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]))
+
+    type
+      Foo = object
+      Bar {.multiply: 3.} = object
+        x, y, z: int
+      Baz = object
+    # becomes
+    type
+      Foo = object
+      Bar1 = object
+        x, y, z: int
+      Bar2 = object
+        x, y, z: int
+      Bar3 = object
+        x, y, z: int
+      Baz = object
+    ```
+
+- A new form of type inference called [top-down inference](https://nim-lang.github.io/Nim/manual_experimental.html#topminusdown-type-inference)
+  has been implemented for a variety of basic cases. For example, code like the following now compiles:
+
+  ```nim
+  let foo: seq[(float, byte, cstring)] = @[(1, 2, "abc")]
+  ```
+
+- `cstring` is now accepted as a selector in `case` statements, removing the
+  need to convert to `string`. On the JS backend, this is translated directly
+  to a `switch` statement.
+
+- Nim now supports `out` parameters and ["strict definitions"](https://nim-lang.github.io/Nim/manual_experimental.html#strict-definitions-and-nimout-parameters).
+- Nim now offers a [strict mode](https://nim-lang.github.io/Nim/manual_experimental.html#strict-case-objects) for `case objects`.
+
+- IBM Z architecture and macOS m1 arm64 architecture are supported.
+
+- `=wasMoved` can now be overridden by users.
+
+- There is a new pragma called [quirky](https://nim-lang.github.io/Nim/manual_experimental.html#quirky-routines) that can be used to affect the code
+  generation of goto based exception handling. It can improve the produced code size but its effects can be subtle so use it with care.
+
+- Tuple unpacking for variables is now treated as syntax sugar that directly
+  expands into multiple assignments. Along with this, tuple unpacking for
+  variables can now be nested.
+
+  ```nim
+  proc returnsNestedTuple(): (int, (int, int), int, int) = (4, (5, 7), 2, 3)
+
+  let (x, (_, y), _, z) = returnsNestedTuple()
+  # roughly becomes
+  let
+    tmpTup1 = returnsNestedTuple()
+    x = tmpTup1[0]
+    tmpTup2 = tmpTup1[1]
+    y = tmpTup2[1]
+    z = tmpTup1[3]
+  ```
+
+  As a result `nnkVarTuple` nodes in variable sections will no longer be
+  reflected in `typed` AST.
+
+- C++ interoperability:
+  - New [`virtual`](https://nim-lang.github.io/Nim/manual_experimental.html#virtual-pragma) pragma added.
+  - Improvements to [`constructor`](https://nim-lang.github.io/Nim/manual_experimental.html#constructor-pragma) pragma.
+
+## 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`, `--hintAsError` and `--warningAsError` now only apply 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.
+
+- When compiling for release, the flag `-fno-math-errno` is used for GCC.
+- Removed deprecated `LineTooLong` hint.
+- Line numbers and file names of source files work correctly inside templates for JavaScript targets.
+
+- Removed support for LCC (Local C), Pelles C, Digital Mars and Watcom compilers.
+
+
+## Docgen
+
+- `Markdown` is now the default markup language of doc comments (instead
+  of the legacy `RstMarkdown` mode). In this release we begin to separate
+  RST and Markdown features to better follow specification of each
+  language, with the focus on Markdown development.
+  See also [the docs](https://nim-lang.github.io/Nim/markdown_rst.html).
+
+  * Added a `{.doctype: Markdown | RST | RstMarkdown.}` pragma allowing to
+    select the markup language mode in the doc comments of the current `.nim`
+    file for processing by `nim doc`:
+
+      1. `Markdown` (default) is basically CommonMark (standard Markdown) +
+         some Pandoc Markdown features + some RST features that are missing
+         in our current implementation of CommonMark and Pandoc Markdown.
+      2. `RST` closely follows the RST spec with few additional Nim features.
+      3. `RstMarkdown` is a maximum mix of RST and Markdown features, which
+          is kept for the sake of compatibility and ease of migration.
+
+  * Added separate `md2html` and `rst2html` commands for processing
+    standalone `.md` and `.rst` files respectively (and also `md2tex`/`rst2tex`).
+
+- Added Pandoc Markdown bracket syntax `[...]` for making anchor-less links.
+- Docgen now supports concise syntax for referencing Nim symbols:
+  instead of specifying HTML anchors directly one can use original
+  Nim symbol declarations (adding the aforementioned link brackets
+  `[...]` around them).
+    * To use this feature across modules, a new `importdoc` directive was added.
+      Using this feature for referencing also helps to ensure that links
+      (inside one module or the whole project) are not broken.
+- Added support for RST & Markdown quote blocks (blocks starting with `>`).
+- Added a popular Markdown definition lists extension.
+- Added Markdown indented code blocks (blocks indented by >= 4 spaces).
+- Added syntax for additional parameters to Markdown code blocks:
+
+       ```nim test="nim c $1"
+       ...
+       ```
+
+## Tool changes
+
+- Nim now ships Nimble version 0.14 which added support for lock-files. Libraries are stored in `$nimbleDir/pkgs2` (it was `$nimbleDir/pkgs` before). Use `nimble develop --global` to create an old style link file in the special links directory documented at https://github.com/nim-lang/nimble#nimble-develop.
+- nimgrep added the option `--inContext` (and `--notInContext`), which
+  allows to filter only matches with the context block containing a given pattern.
+- nimgrep: names of options containing "include/exclude" are deprecated,
+  e.g. instead of `--includeFile` and `--excludeFile` we have
+  `--filename` and `--notFilename` respectively.
+  Also the semantics are now consistent for such positive/negative filters.
+- koch now supports the `--skipIntegrityCheck` option. The command `koch --skipIntegrityCheck boot -d:release` always builds the compiler twice.
