 ## Standard library additions and changes
 
+[//]: # "Changes:"
+
+
+[//]: # "Additions:"
+
+- Added `newStringUninit` to system, which creates a new string of length `len` like `newString` but with uninitialized content.
+- Added `setLenUninit` to system, which doesn't initalize
+slots when enlarging a sequence.
+- Added `hasDefaultValue` to `std/typetraits` to check if a type has a valid default value.
+- Added Viewport API for the JavaScript targets in the `dom` module.
+
+[//]: # "Deprecations:"
+
+
+[//]: # "Removals:"
+
 
 ## Language changes
 
 
+
+- An experimental option `genericsOpenSym` has been added to allow captured
+  symbols in generic routine bodies to be replaced by symbols injected locally
+  by templates/macros at instantiation time. `bind` may be used to keep the
+  captured symbols over the injected ones regardless of enabling the option.
+
+  Since this change may affect runtime behavior, the experimental switch
+  `genericsOpenSym` needs to be enabled, and a warning is given in the case
+  where an injected symbol would replace a captured symbol not bound by `bind`
+  and the experimental switch isn't enabled.
+
+  ```nim
+  const value = "captured"
+  template foo(x: int, body: untyped) =
+    let value {.inject.} = "injected"
+    body
+
+  proc old[T](): string =
+    foo(123):
+      return value # warning: a new `value` has been injected, use `bind` or turn on `experimental:genericsOpenSym`
+  echo old[int]() # "captured"
+
+  {.experimental: "genericsOpenSym".}
+
+  proc bar[T](): string =
+    foo(123):
+      return value
+  assert bar[int]() == "injected" # previously it would be "captured"
+
+  proc baz[T](): string =
+    bind value
+    foo(123):
+      return value
+  assert baz[int]() == "captured"
+  ```
+
 ## Compiler changes
 
 
 ## Tool changes
 
+- koch now allows bootstrapping with `-d:nimHasLibFFI`, replacing the older option of building the compiler directly w/ the `libffi` nimble package in tow.

-## Changes affecting backward compatibility
-
-- `-d:nimStrictDelete` becomes the default. An index error is produced when the index passed to `system.delete` is out of bounds. Use `-d:nimAuditDelete` to mimic the old behavior for backward compatibility.
-
-- The default user-agent in `std/httpclient` has been changed to `Nim-httpclient/<version>` instead of `Nim httpclient/<version>` which was incorrect according to the HTTP spec.
-
-- Methods now support implementations based on a VTable by using `--experimental:vtables`. Methods are then confined to the same module where their type has been defined.
-
-- With `-d:nimPreviewNonVarDestructor`, non-var destructors become the default.
-
-- A bug where tuple unpacking assignment with a longer tuple on the RHS than the LHS was allowed has been fixed, i.e. code like:
-  ```nim
-  var a, b: int
-  (a, b) = (1, 2, 3, 4)
-  ```
-  will no longer compile.
-
-- `internalNew` is removed from the `system` module, use `new` instead.
-
-- `bindMethod` in `std/jsffi` is deprecated, don't use it with closures.
-
-- JS backend now supports lambda lifting for closures. Use `--legacy:jsNoLambdaLifting` to emulate old behaviors.
-
-- JS backend now supports closure iterators.
-
-- `owner` in `std/macros` is deprecated.
-
-- Ambiguous type symbols in generic procs and templates now generate symchoice nodes.
-  Previously; in templates they would error immediately at the template definition,
-  and in generic procs a type symbol would arbitrarily be captured, losing the
-  information of the other symbols. This means that generic code can now give
-  errors for ambiguous type symbols, and macros operating on generic proc AST
-  may encounter symchoice nodes instead of the arbitrarily resolved type symbol nodes.
-
-- Partial generic instantiation of routines is no longer allowed. Previously
-  it compiled in niche situations due to bugs in the compiler.
-
-  ```nim
-  proc foo[T, U](x: T, y: U) = echo (x, y)
-  proc foo[T, U](x: var T, y: U) = echo "var ", (x, y)
-
-  proc bar[T]() =
-    foo[float](1, "abc")
-
-  bar[int]() # before: (1.0, "abc"), now: type mismatch, missing generic parameter

-
-- `const` values now open a new scope for each constant, meaning symbols
-  declared in them can no longer be used outside or in the value of
-  other constants.
-
-  ```nim
-  const foo = (var a = 1; a)
-  const bar = a # error
-  let baz = a # error
-  ```
-
-- The following POSIX wrappers have had their types changed from signed to
-  unsigned types on OSX and FreeBSD/OpenBSD to correct codegen errors:
-  - `Gid` (was `int32`, is now `uint32`)
-  - `Uid` (was `int32`, is now `uint32`)
-  - `Dev` (was `int32`, is now `uint32` on FreeBSD)
-  - `Nlink` (was `int16`, is now `uint32` on OpenBSD and `uint16` on OSX/other BSD)
-  - `sin6_flowinfo` and `sin6_scope_id` fields of `Sockaddr_in6`
-    (were `int32`, are now `uint32`)
-  - `n_net` field of `Tnetent` (was `int32`, is now `uint32`)
-
-- The `Atomic[T]` type on C++ now uses C11 primitives by default instead of
-  `std::atomic`. To use `std::atomic` instead, `-d:nimUseCppAtomics` can be defined.

-## Standard library additions and changes
-
-[//]: # "Changes:"
-
-- Changed `std/osfiles.copyFile` to allow specifying `bufferSize` instead of a hard-coded one.
-- Changed `std/osfiles.copyFile` to use `POSIX_FADV_SEQUENTIAL` hints for kernel-level aggressive sequential read-aheads.
-- `std/htmlparser` has been moved to a nimble package, use `nimble` or `atlas` to install it.
-- Changed `std/os.copyDir` and `copyDirWithPermissions` to allow skipping special "file" objects like FIFOs, device files, etc on Unix by specifying a `skipSpecial` parameter.
-
-[//]: # "Additions:"
-
-- Added `newStringUninit` to the `system` module, which creates a new string of length `len` like `newString` but with uninitialized content.
-- Added `setLenUninit` to the `system` module, which doesn't initialize
-slots when enlarging a sequence.
-- Added `hasDefaultValue` to `std/typetraits` to check if a type has a valid default value.
-- Added `rangeBase` to `std/typetraits` to obtain the base type of a range type or
-  convert a value with a range type to its base type.
-- Added Viewport API for the JavaScript targets in the `dom` module.
-- Added `toSinglyLinkedRing` and `toDoublyLinkedRing` to `std/lists` to convert from `openArray`s.
-- ORC: To be enabled via `nimOrcStats` there is a new API called `GC_orcStats` that can be used to query how many
-  objects the cyclic collector did free. If the number is zero that is a strong indicator that you can use `--mm:arc`
-  instead of `--mm:orc`.
-- A `$` template is provided for `Path` in `std/paths`.
-- `std/hashes.hash(x:string)` changed to produce a 64-bit string `Hash` (based
-on Google's Farm Hash) which is also often faster than the present one.  Define
-`nimStringHash2` to get the old values back.  `--jsbigint=off` mode always only
-produces the old values.  This may impact your automated tests if they depend
-on hash order in some obvious or indirect way.  Using `sorted` or `OrderedTable`
-is often an easy workaround.
-
-[//]: # "Deprecations:"
-
-- Deprecates `system.newSeqUninitialized`, which is replaced by `newSeqUninit`.
-
-[//]: # "Removals:"
-
-
-
-
-
-
-## Language changes
-
-- `noInit` can be used in types and fields to disable member initializers in the C++ backend.
-
-- C++ custom constructors initializers see https://nim-lang.org/docs/manual_experimental.html#constructor-initializer
-
-- `member` can be used to attach a procedure to a C++ type.
-
-- C++ `constructor` now reuses `result` instead creating `this`.
-
-- Tuple unpacking changes:
-  - Tuple unpacking assignment now supports using underscores to discard values.
-    ```nim
-    var a, c: int
-    (a, _, c) = (1, 2, 3)
-    ```
-  - Tuple unpacking variable declarations now support type annotations, but
-    only for the entire tuple.
-    ```nim
-    let (a, b): (int, int) = (1, 2)
-    let (a, (b, c)): (byte, (float, cstring)) = (1, (2, "abc"))
-    ```
-
-- The experimental option `--experimental:openSym` has been added to allow
-  captured symbols in generic routine and template bodies respectively to be
-  replaced by symbols injected locally by templates/macros at instantiation
-  time. `bind` may be used to keep the captured symbols over the injected ones
-  regardless of enabling the option, but other methods like renaming the
-  captured symbols should be used instead so that the code is not affected by
-  context changes.
-
-  Since this change may affect runtime behavior, the experimental switch
-  `openSym` needs to be enabled; and a warning is given in the case where an
-  injected symbol would replace a captured symbol not bound by `bind` and
-  the experimental switch isn't enabled.
-
-  ```nim
-  const value = "captured"
-  template foo(x: int, body: untyped): untyped =
-    let value {.inject.} = "injected"
-    body
-
-  proc old[T](): string =
-    foo(123):
-      return value # warning: a new `value` has been injected, use `bind` or turn on `experimental:openSym`
-  echo old[int]() # "captured"
-
-  template oldTempl(): string =
-    block:
-      foo(123):
-        value # warning: a new `value` has been injected, use `bind` or turn on `experimental:openSym`
-  echo oldTempl() # "captured"
-
-  {.experimental: "openSym".}
-
-  proc bar[T](): string =
-    foo(123):
-      return value
-  assert bar[int]() == "injected" # previously it would be "captured"
-
-  proc baz[T](): string =
-    bind value
-    foo(123):
-      return value
-  assert baz[int]() == "captured"
-
-  template barTempl(): string =
-    block:
-      foo(123):
-        value
-  assert barTempl() == "injected" # previously it would be "captured"
-
-  template bazTempl(): string =
-    bind value
-    block:
-      foo(123):
-        value
-  assert bazTempl() == "captured"
-  ```
-
-  This option also generates a new node kind `nnkOpenSym` which contains
-  exactly 1 `nnkSym` node. In the future this might be merged with a slightly
-  modified `nnkOpenSymChoice` node but macros that want to support the
-  experimental feature should still handle `nnkOpenSym`, as the node kind would
-  simply not be generated as opposed to being removed.
-
-  Another experimental switch `genericsOpenSym` exists that enables this behavior
-  at instantiation time, meaning templates etc can enable it specifically when
-  they are being called. However this does not generate `nnkOpenSym` nodes
-  (unless the other switch is enabled) and so doesn't reflect the regular
-  behavior of the switch.
-
-  ```nim
-  const value = "captured"
-  template foo(x: int, body: untyped): untyped =
-    let value {.inject.} = "injected"
-    {.push experimental: "genericsOpenSym".}
-    body
-    {.pop.}
-
-  proc bar[T](): string =
-    foo(123):
-      return value
-  echo bar[int]() # "injected"
-
-  template barTempl(): string =
-    block:
-      var res: string
-      foo(123):
-        res = value
-      res
-  assert barTempl() == "injected"
-  ```
-
-
-
-
-
-## Compiler changes
-
-- `--nimcache` using a relative path as the argument in a config file is now relative to the config file instead of the current directory.
-
-
-
-
-
-## Tool changes
-
-- koch now allows bootstrapping with `-d:nimHasLibFFI`, replacing the older option of building the compiler directly w/ the `libffi` nimble package.
