-  2014-06-29 Version 0.9.6 released
-  =================================
-
-  Changes affecting backwards compatibility
-  -----------------------------------------
-
-  - ``spawn`` now uses an elaborate self-adapting thread pool and as such
-    has been moved into its own module. So to use it, you now have to import
-    ``threadpool``.
-  - The symbol binding rules in generics changed: ``bar`` in ``foo.bar`` is
-    now considered for implicit early binding.
-  - ``c2nim`` moved into its own repository and is now a Babel package.
-  - ``pas2nim`` moved into its own repository and is now a Babel package.
-  - ``system.$`` for floating point types now produces a human friendly string
-    representation.
-  - ``uri.TUrl`` as well as the ``parseurl`` module are now deprecated in favour
-    of the new ``TUri`` type in the ``uri`` module.
-  - The ``destructor`` pragma has been deprecated. Use the ``override`` pragma
-    instead. The destructor's name has to be ``destroy`` now.
-  - ``lambda`` is not a keyword anymore.
-  - **system.defined has been split into system.defined and system.declared**.
-    You have to use ``--symbol`` to declare new conditional symbols that can be
-    set via ``--define``.
-  - ``--threadanalysis:on`` is now the default. To make your program compile
-    you can disable it but this is only a temporary solution as this option
-    will disappear soon!
