+Developers needed

+implementing the new programming language Nimrod, visit our project page at 

+Launchpad: https://launchpad.net/nimrod and contact me.

+2008-08-22 Version 0.6.0 released

+=================================

+

+Nimrod version 0.6.0 has been released! Get it `here <./download.html>`_.

+**This is the first version of the compiler that is able to compile itself!**

+A nice side-effect from this is that a source-based installation does not 

+depend on FreePascal any longer.

+

+Changes:

+* various bug fixes, too many to list them here

+* cleaned up the type system: records are now superfluous and not

+  supported anymore

+* improved the performance of the garbage collector

+* new modules in the library: 

+  - ``parseopt``: a simple to use command line parser

+  - ``hashes``: efficient computation of hash values

+  - ``strtabs``: efficient mapping from strings to strings 

+  - ``parsecfg``: an efficient configuration file parser 

+* macros and compile-time evaluation implemented (however, still experimental)

+* generics implemented (however, still experimental)
