+Function `echo` outputs the wrong string.
+
+### Example
+```nim
+echo "Hello World!"
+# This code should be a minimum reproducible example:
+# try to simplify and minimize as much as possible. If it's a compiler
+# issue, try to minimize further by removing any imports if possible.
+```
+
+### Current Output
+please check whether the problem still exists in git head before posting,
+see [rebuilding the compiler](https://nim-lang.github.io/Nim/intern.html#rebuilding-the-compiler).
+```
+Hola mundo!
+```
+
+### Expected Output
+```
+Hello World!
+```
+
+### Possible Solution
+
+* In file xyz there is a call that might be the cause of it.
+
+### Additional Information
+If it's a regression, you can help us by identifying which version introduced
+the bug, see [Bisecting for regressions](https://nim-lang.github.io/Nim/intern.html#bisecting-for-regressions),
+or at least try known past releases (eg `choosenim 1.2.0`).

 ## Changes affecting backward compatibility
 
-- `-d:nimPreviewFloatRoundtrip` becomes the default. `system.addFloat` and `system.$` now can produce string representations of
-floating point numbers that are minimal in size and possess round-trip and correct
-rounding guarantees (via the
-[Dragonbox](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jk-jeon/dragonbox/master/other_files/Dragonbox.pdf) algorithm). Use `-d:nimLegacySprintf` to emulate old behaviors.
+- The `Math.trunc` polyfill for targeting Internet Explorer was
+  previously emitted for every JavaScript output file except if
+  the symbol `nodejs` was defined via `-d:nodejs`. Now, it is only
+  emitted if the symbol `nimJsMathTruncPolyfill` is defined. 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.
 
-- The `default` parameter of `tables.getOrDefault` has been renamed to `def` to
-  avoid conflicts with `system.default`, so named argument usage for this
-  parameter like `getOrDefault(..., default = ...)` will have to be changed.
+- Deprecated `std/sums`.
 
-- With `-d:nimPreviewCheckedClose`, the `close` function in the `std/syncio` module now raises an IO exception in case of an error.
+- Optional parameters in combination with `: body` syntax (RFC #405) are now opt-in via
+  `experimental:flexibleOptionalParams`.
 
-- Unknown warnings and hints now gives warnings `warnUnknownNotes` instead of
-errors.
+- `std/sharedstrings` module is removed.
+- Constants `colors.colPaleVioletRed` and `colors.colMediumPurple` changed to match the CSS color standard.
 
-- With `-d:nimPreviewAsmSemSymbol`, backticked symbols are type checked in the `asm/emit` statements.
+- `addr` is now available for all addressable locations, `unsafeAddr` is deprecated and
+becomes an alias for `addr`.
 
-- The bare `except:` now panics on `Defect`. Use `except Exception:` or `except Defect:` to catch `Defect`. `--legacy:noPanicOnExcept` is provided for a transition period.
+- io is about to move out of system; use `-d:nimPreviewSlimSystem` and import `std/syncio`.
 
-- With `-d:nimPreviewCStringComparisons`, comparsions (`<`, `>`, `<=`, `>=`) between cstrings switch from reference semantics to value semantics like `==` and `!=`.
-
-- `std/parsesql` has been moved to a nimble package, use `nimble` or `atlas` to install it.
-
-- With `-d:nimPreviewDuplicateModuleError`, importing two modules that share the same name becomes a compile-time error. This includes importing the same module more than once. Use `import foo as foo1` (or other aliases) to avoid collisions.
-
-- Adds the switch `--mangle:nim|cpp`, which selects `nim` or `cpp` style name mangling when used with `debuginfo` on, defaults to `cpp`.
-
-- The second parameter of `succ`, `pred`, `inc`, and `dec` in `system` now accepts `SomeInteger` (previously `Ordinal`).
-
-- Bitshift operators (`shl`, `shr`, `ashr`) now apply bitmasking to the right operand in the C/C++/VM/JS backends.
-
-- Adds a new warning `--warning:ImplicitRangeConversion` that detects downsizing implicit conversions to range types (e.g., `int -> range[0..255]` or `range[1..256] -> range[0..255]`) that could cause runtime panics. Safe conversions like `range[0..255] -> range[0..65535]` and explicit casts do not trigger warnings. `int` to `Natural` and `Positive` conversions do not trigger warnings, which can be enabled with `--warning:systemRangeConversion`.
-
-- Procedure compatibility also checks the backend representation of the
-parameter and result types, not just their source-level shape. Use
-`--legacy:procParamTypeBackendAliases` to restore the older behavior.
+- The `gc:v2` option is removed.
 
 ## Standard library additions and changes
 
-[//]: # "Additions:"
-
-- `setutils.symmetricDifference` along with its operator version
-  `` setutils.`-+-` `` and in-place version `setutils.toggle` have been added
-  to more efficiently calculate the symmetric difference of bitsets.
-- `strutils.multiReplace` overload for character set replacements in a single pass.
-	Useful for string sanitation. Follows existing multiReplace semantics.
-
-- `std/files` adds:
-  - Exports `CopyFlag` enum and `FilePermission` type for fine-grained control of file operations
-  - New file operation procs with `Path` support:
-    - `getFilePermissions`, `setFilePermissions` for managing permissions
-    - `tryRemoveFile` for file deletion
-    - `copyFile` with configurable buffer size and symlink handling
-    - `copyFileWithPermissions` to preserve file attributes
-    - `copyFileToDir` for copying files into directories
-
-- `std/dirs` adds:
-  - New directory operation procs with `Path` support:
-    - `copyDir` with special file handling options
-    - `copyDirWithPermissions` to recursively preserve attributes
-
-- `system.setLenUninit` now supports refc, JS and VM backends.
-- `system.setLenUninit` for the `string` type. Allows setting length without initializing new memory on growth.
-
-- `std/parseopt` now supports multiple parser modes via a `CliMode` enum.
-  Modes include `Nim` (default, fully compatible) and two new experimental modes:
-  `Lax` and `Gnu` for different option parsing behaviors.
-
-- `std/symlinks.expandSymlink` now supports Windows symlinks and junctions with
-  POSIX-like single-hop `readlink` semantics.
-- `std/nre2` is added to replace deprecated NRE.
-
-- `system.typeof` adds a new parameter `modifierMode` to specify how type modifiers are handled.
-
 [//]: # "Changes:"
+- `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.
+- 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.
+- `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 use it in a const.
+- `strutils.find` now use and default to `last=-1` for whole string searches, making limiting it to just the first char (`last=0`) valid.
 
-- `std/math` The `^` symbol now supports floating-point as exponent in addition to the Natural type.
-- `min`, `max`, and `sequtils`' `minIndex`, `maxIndex` and `minmax` for `openArray`s now accept a comparison function.
-- `system.substr` implementation now uses `copymem` (wrapped C `memcpy`) for copying data, if available at compilation.
-- `system.newStringUninit` is now considered free of side-effects allowing it to be used with `--experimental:strictFuncs`.
-- `std/re` and `std/nre` are deprecated as PCRE library is obsolete.
-  Use https://github.com/nitely/nim-regex or `std/nre2`.
-  See: https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/issues/23668.
-- `std/pegs` now correctly lexes UTF-8 bytes inside bare identifier-style
-  terminals, so case-insensitive matching of non-ASCII terms (e.g. ``\i café``)
-  works without single-quoting.
-- `std/uri`: The `?` operator now appends query parameters to an existing query
-  string instead of replacing it. Fixes [#19782](https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/issues/19782).
-- `std/jsonutils`: `fromJson` now throws an exception when converting to `array`/`seq` if the JSON isn't an array instead of silently failing
+[//]: # "Additions:"
+- Added `IsoWeekRange`, a range type to represent the number of weeks in an ISO week-based year.
+- Added `IsoYear`, a distinct int type to prevent bugs from confusing the week-based year and the regular year.
+- Added `initDateTime` in `times` to create a datetime from a weekday, and ISO 8601 week number and week-based year.
+- Added `getIsoWeekAndYear` in `times` to get an ISO week number along with the corresponding ISO week-based year from a datetime.
+- Added `getIsoWeeksInYear` in `times` to return the number of weeks in an ISO 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 [`Array.shift`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/shift) for JavaScript targets.
+- Added [`queueMicrotask`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/queueMicrotask) for JavaScript targets.
+
+[//]: # "Deprecations:"
+- Deprecated `selfExe` for Nimscript.
+
+[//]: # "Removals:"
+- Removed deprecated `oids.oidToString`.
+- Removed define `nimExperimentalAsyncjsThen` for `std/asyncjs.then` and `std/jsfetch`.
+- Removed deprecated `jsre.test` and `jsre.toString`.
+- Removed deprecated `math.c_frexp`.
+- Removed deprecated `` httpcore.`==` ``.
+- Removed deprecated `std/dom_extensions`.
+- Removed deprecated `std/posix.CMSG_SPACE` and `std/posix.CMSG_LEN` that takes wrong argument types.
+- Removed deprecated `osproc.poDemon`, symbol with typo.
 
 ## Language changes
 
-- An experimental option `--experimental:typeBoundOps` has been added that
-  implements the RFC https://github.com/nim-lang/RFCs/issues/380.
-  This makes the behavior of interfaces like `hash`, `$`, `==` etc. more
-  reliable for nominal types across indirect/restricted imports.
+- 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.

-  ```

-  See the [experimental manual](https://nim-lang.github.io/Nim/manual_experimental.html#typeminusbound-overloads)
-  for more information.
+- [Case statement macros](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".
 
 ## Compiler changes
 
-- Fixed a bug where `sizeof(T)` inside a `typedesc` template called from a generic type's
-  `when` clause would error with "'sizeof' requires '.importc' types to be '.completeStruct'".
-  The issue was that `hasValuelessStatics` in `semtypinst.nim` didn't recognize
-  `tyTypeDesc(tyGenericParam)` as an unresolved generic parameter.
+- `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.
 
-- The JS backend now implements write-through for `var openArray` parameters that
-  receive a `toOpenArray` view (bug #15952): mutations reach the caller's storage
-  instead of silently writing to a copy. Fixed homogeneous numeric arrays
-  (`array[N, T]`, JS typed arrays) slice via `subarray`; `seq` and non-numeric
-  arrays slice via a `{base, off, len}` view. This also covers seq/non-numeric-array
-  write-through, pass-through, re-slicing and `@` (openArray-to-seq) of such views.
 
 ## Tool changes
 
-- Added `--raw` flag when generating JSON docs to not render markup.
-- Added `--stdinfile` flag to name of the file used when running program from stdin (defaults to `stdinfile.nim`)
-- Added `--styleCheck:warning` flag to treat style check violations as warnings.
+- 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".)
 
-## Documentation 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`.
 
-- Added documentation for the `completeStruct` pragma in the manual.
+- There is a new switch `--nimMainPrefix:prefix` to influence the `NimMain` that the
+  compiler produces. This is particularly useful for generating static libraries.

+
+### 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 expressiveness. 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`

-
-
-## 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 fulfill 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 {.closure.} =
-    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).

-
-## 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.

-- `-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.
-
-- The JS backend now supports lambda lifting for closures. Use `--legacy:jsNoLambdaLifting` to emulate old behaviors.
-
-- The 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.
-
-- Inside a C++ constructor, `result` can be used to access the created object rather than `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.

+## many problems for this DFA representation, ``raise`` is a statement
+## that ``goes to`` the outer ``finally`` or ``except`` if there is one,
+## otherwise it is the same as ``return``. Every call is treated as
+## a call that can potentially ``raise``. However, without a surrounding
+## ``try`` we don't emit these ``fork ReturnLabel`` instructions in order

+Join is no more
+===============
+Instead of generating join instructions we adapt our traversal of the CFG.
+
+When encountering a fork we split into two paths, we follow the path
+starting at "pc + 1" until it encounters the joinpoint: "pc + forkInstr.dest".
+If we encounter gotos that would jump further than the current joinpoint,
+as can happen with gotos generated by unstructured controlflow such as break, raise or return,
+we simply suspend following the current path, and follow the other path until the new joinpoint
+which is simply the instruction pointer returned to us by the now suspended path.
+If the path we are following now, also encounters a goto that exceeds the joinpoint
+we repeat the process; suspending the current path and evaluating the other one with a new joinpoint.
+If we eventually reach a common joinpoint we join the two paths.
+This new "ping-pong" approach has the obvious advantage of not requiring join instructions, as such
+cutting down on the CFG size but is also mandatory for correctly handling complicated cases
+of unstructured controlflow.
+
+
+Design of join
+==============
+
+block:
+  if cond: break
+  def(x)
+
+use(x)
+
+Generates:
+
+L0: fork lab1
+  join L0  # patched.
+  goto Louter
+lab1:
+  def x
+  join L0
+Louter:
+  use x
+
+
+block outer:
+  while a:
+    while b:
+      if foo:
+        if bar:
+          break outer # --> we need to 'join' every pushed 'fork' here
+
+
+This works and then our abstract interpretation needs to deal with 'fork'
+differently. It really causes a split in execution. Two threads are
+"spawned" and both need to reach the 'join L' instruction. Afterwards
+the abstract interpretations are joined and execution resumes single
+threaded.
+
+
+Abstract Interpretation
+-----------------------
+
+proc interpret(pc, state, comesFrom): state =
+  result = state
+  # we need an explicit 'create' instruction (an explicit heap), in order
+  # to deal with 'var x = create(); var y = x; var z = y; destroy(z)'
+  while true:
+    case pc
+    of fork:
+      let a = interpret(pc+1, result, pc)
+      let b = interpret(forkTarget, result, pc)
+      result = a ++ b # ++ is a union operation
+      inc pc
+    of join:
+      if joinTarget == comesFrom: return result
+      else: inc pc
+    of use X:
+      if not result.contains(x):
+        error "variable not initialized " & x
+      inc pc
+    of def X:
+      if not result.contains(x):
+        result.incl X
+      else:
+        error "overwrite of variable causes memory leak " & x
+      inc pc
+    of destroy X:
+      result.excl X
+
+This is correct but still can lead to false positives:
+
+proc p(cond: bool) =
+  if cond:
+    new(x)
+  otherThings()
+  if cond:
+    destroy x
+
+Is not a leak. We should find a way to model *data* flow, not just
+control flow. One solution is to rewrite the 'if' without a fork
+instruction. The unstructured aspect can now be easily dealt with
+the 'goto' and 'join' instructions.
+
+proc p(cond: bool) =
+  L0: fork Lend
+    new(x)
+    # do not 'join' here!
+
+  Lend:
+    otherThings()
+    join L0  # SKIP THIS FOR new(x) SOMEHOW
+  destroy x
+  join L0 # but here.
+
+
+
+But if we follow 'goto Louter' we will never come to the join point.
+We restore the bindings after popping pc from the stack then there
+"no" problem?!
+
+
+while cond:
+  prelude()
+  if not condB: break
+  postlude()
+

+var setFlag = true
+while cond and not setFlag:

+      postlude()
