-  2015-03-01 Version 0.11.0 released
-  ==================================
-
-
-  Changes affecting backwards compatibility
-  -----------------------------------------
-
-  - Parameter names are finally properly ``gensym``'ed. This can break
-    templates though that used to rely on the fact that they are not.
-    (Bug #1915.) This means this doesn't compile anymore:
-
-  .. code-block:: nim
-
-    template doIt(body: stmt) {.immediate.} =
-      # this used to inject the 'str' parameter:
-      proc res(str: string) =
-        body
-
-    doIt:
-      echo str # Error: undeclared identifier: 'str'
-
-    Declare the ``doIt`` template as ``immediate, dirty`` to get the old
-    behaviour.
-  - Tuple field names are not ignored anymore, this caused too many problems
-    in practice so now the behaviour as it was for version 0.9.6: If field
-    names exist for the tuple type, they are checked.
-  - ``logging.level`` and ``logging.handlers`` are no longer exported.
-    ``addHandler``, ``getHandlers``, ``setLogFilter`` and ``getLogFilter``
-    should be used instead.
-  - ``nim idetools`` has been replaced by a separate tool `nimsuggest`_.
-  - *arrow like* operators are not right associative anymore.
-  - *arrow like* operators are now required to end with either ``->``, ``~>`` or
-    ``=>``, not just ``>``. Examples of operators still considered arrow like:
-    ``->``, ``==>``, ``+=>``. On the other hand, the following operators are now
-    considered regular operators again: ``|>``, ``-+>``, etc.
-  - Typeless parameters are now only allowed in templates and macros. The old
-    way turned out to be too error-prone.
-  - The 'addr' and 'type' operators are now parsed as unary function
-    application. This means ``type(x).name`` is now parsed as ``(type(x)).name``
-    and not as ``type((x).name)``. Note that this also affects the AST
-    structure; for immediate macro parameters ``nkCall('addr', 'x')`` is
-    produced instead of ``nkAddr('x')``.
-  - ``concept`` is now a keyword and is used instead of ``generic``.
-  - The ``inc``, ``dec``, ``+=``, ``-=`` builtins now produce OverflowError
-    exceptions. This means code like the following:
-
-  .. code-block:: nim
-    var x = low(T)
-    while x <= high(T):
-      echo x
-      inc x
-
-  Needs to be replaced by something like this:
-
-  .. code-block:: nim
-    var x = low(T).int
-    while x <= high(T).int:
-      echo x.T
-      inc x
-
-  - **Negative indexing for slicing does not work anymore!** Instead
-    of ``a[0.. -1]`` you can
-    use ``a[0.. ^1]``. This also works with accessing a single
-    element ``a[^1]``. Note that we cannot detect this reliably as it is
-    determined at **runtime** whether negative indexing is used!
-    ``a[0.. -1]`` now produces the empty string/sequence.
-  - The compiler now warns about code like ``foo +=1`` which uses inconsistent
-    spacing around binary operators. Later versions of the language will parse
-    these as unary operators instead so that ``echo $foo`` finally can do what
-    people expect it to do.
-  - ``system.untyped`` and ``system.typed`` have been introduced as aliases
-    for ``expr`` and ``stmt``. The new names capture the semantics much better
-    and most likely  ``expr`` and ``stmt`` will be deprecated in favor of the
-    new names.
-  - The ``split`` method in module ``re`` has changed. It now handles the case
-    of matches having a length of 0, and empty strings being yielded from the
-    iterator. A notable change might be that a pattern being matched at the
-    beginning and end of a string, will result in an empty string being produced
-    at the start and the end of the iterator.
-
-  Language Additions
-  ------------------
-
-  - For empty ``case object`` branches ``discard`` can finally be used instead
-    of ``nil``.
-  - Automatic dereferencing is now done for the first argument of a routine
-    call if overloading resolution produces no match otherwise. This feature
-    has to be enabled with the `experimental`_ pragma.
-  - Objects that do not use inheritance nor ``case`` can be put into ``const``
-    sections. This means that finally this is possible and produces rather
-    nice code:
-
-  .. code-block:: nim
-    import tables
-
-    const
-      foo = {"ah": "finally", "this": "is", "possible.": "nice!"}.toTable()
-
-
-  - Ordinary parameters can follow after a varargs parameter. This means the
-    following is finally accepted by the compiler:
-
-  .. code-block:: nim
-    template takesBlock(a, b: int, x: varargs[expr]; blck: stmt) =
-      blck
-      echo a, b
-
-    takesBlock 1, 2, "some", 0.90, "random stuff":
-      echo "yay"
-
-  - Overloading by 'var T' is now finally possible:
-
-  .. code-block:: nim
-    proc varOrConst(x: var int) = echo "var"
-    proc varOrConst(x: int) = echo "const"
-
-    var x: int
-    varOrConst(x) # "var"
-    varOrConst(45) # "const"
-
-  - Array and seq indexing can now use the builtin ``^`` operator to access
-    things from backwards: ``a[^1]`` is like Python's ``a[-1]``.
-  - A first version of the specification and implementation of the overloading
-    of the assignment operator has arrived!
-  - ``system.len`` for strings and sequences now returns 0 for nil.
-
-  - A single underscore can now be used to discard values when unpacking tuples.
-  - ``marshal.$$`` and ``marshal.to`` can be executed at compile-time.
-  - Interoperability with C++ improved tremendously; C++'s templates and
-    operators can be wrapped directly. See `this <nimc.html#ImportCpp-pragma>`_
-    for more information.
-
-
-  Library additions
-  -----------------
-
-  - ``reversed`` proc added to the ``unicode`` module.
-  - Added multipart param to httpclient's ``post`` and ``postContent`` together
-    with a ``newMultipartData`` proc.
-  - Added `%*` operator for JSON.
-  - The compiler is now available as Nimble package for c2nim.
-  - Added ``..^`` and ``..<`` templates to system so that the rather annoying
-    space between ``.. <`` and ``.. ^`` is not necessary anymore.
-  - Added ``system.xlen`` for strings and sequences to get back the old ``len``
-    operation that doesn't check for ``nil`` for efficiency.
-

+
+2015-04-30 Version 0.11.0 released
+==================================
+
+
+What's left to be done
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The 1.0 release is expected by the end of this year. Rumors say it will be in
+summer 2015. What's left:
+
+* Bug fixes, bug fixes, bug fixes!
+* ``immediate`` templates and macros will be deprecated as these will soon be
+  completely unnecessary, instead the ``typed`` or ``untyped`` metatypes can
+  be used.
+* The standard library needs cleanups and use the features we have for
+  concurrency and parallelism.
+
+
+
+Changes affecting backwards compatibility
+-----------------------------------------
+
+- Parameter names are finally properly ``gensym``'ed. This can break
+  templates though that used to rely on the fact that they are not.
+  (Bug #1915.) This means this doesn't compile anymore:
+
+.. code-block:: nim
+
+  template doIt(body: stmt) {.immediate.} =
+    # this used to inject the 'str' parameter:
+    proc res(str: string) =
+      body
+
+  doIt:
+    echo str # Error: undeclared identifier: 'str'
+
+  Declare the ``doIt`` template as ``immediate, dirty`` to get the old
+  behaviour.
+- Tuple field names are not ignored anymore, this caused too many problems
+  in practice so now the behaviour as it was for version 0.9.6: If field
+  names exist for the tuple type, they are checked.
+- ``logging.level`` and ``logging.handlers`` are no longer exported.
+  ``addHandler``, ``getHandlers``, ``setLogFilter`` and ``getLogFilter``
+  should be used instead.
+- ``nim idetools`` has been replaced by a separate tool `nimsuggest`_.
+- *arrow like* operators are not right associative anymore.
+- *arrow like* operators are now required to end with either ``->``, ``~>`` or

+    echo x
+    inc x
+
+Needs to be replaced by something like this:
+
+.. code-block:: nim
+  var x = low(T).int
+  while x <= high(T).int:
+    echo x.T
+    inc x
+
+- **Negative indexing for slicing does not work anymore!** Instead
+  of ``a[0.. -1]`` you can
+  use ``a[0.. ^1]``. This also works with accessing a single
+  element ``a[^1]``. Note that we cannot detect this reliably as it is
+  determined at **runtime** whether negative indexing is used!
+  ``a[0.. -1]`` now produces the empty string/sequence.
+- The compiler now warns about code like ``foo +=1`` which uses inconsistent
+  spacing around binary operators. Later versions of the language will parse
+  these as unary operators instead so that ``echo $foo`` finally can do what
+  people expect it to do.
+- ``system.untyped`` and ``system.typed`` have been introduced as aliases
+  for ``expr`` and ``stmt``. The new names capture the semantics much better
+  and most likely  ``expr`` and ``stmt`` will be deprecated in favor of the
+  new names.
+- The ``split`` method in module ``re`` has changed. It now handles the case
+  of matches having a length of 0, and empty strings being yielded from the
+  iterator. A notable change might be that a pattern being matched at the
+  beginning and end of a string, will result in an empty string being produced
+  at the start and the end of the iterator.
+
+Language Additions
+------------------
+
+- For empty ``case object`` branches ``discard`` can finally be used instead
+  of ``nil``.
+- Automatic dereferencing is now done for the first argument of a routine
+  call if overloading resolution produces no match otherwise. This feature
+  has to be enabled with the `experimental`_ pragma.
+- Objects that do not use inheritance nor ``case`` can be put into ``const``
+  sections. This means that finally this is possible and produces rather
+  nice code:
+
+.. code-block:: nim
+  import tables
+
+  const
+    foo = {"ah": "finally", "this": "is", "possible.": "nice!"}.toTable()
+
+
+- Ordinary parameters can follow after a varargs parameter. This means the
+  following is finally accepted by the compiler:
+
+.. code-block:: nim
+  template takesBlock(a, b: int, x: varargs[expr]; blck: stmt) =
+    blck
+    echo a, b
+
+  takesBlock 1, 2, "some", 0.90, "random stuff":
+    echo "yay"
+
+- Overloading by 'var T' is now finally possible:
+
+.. code-block:: nim
+  proc varOrConst(x: var int) = echo "var"
+  proc varOrConst(x: int) = echo "const"
+
+  var x: int
+  varOrConst(x) # "var"
+  varOrConst(45) # "const"
+
+- Array and seq indexing can now use the builtin ``^`` operator to access
+  things from backwards: ``a[^1]`` is like Python's ``a[-1]``.
+- A first version of the specification and implementation of the overloading
+  of the assignment operator has arrived!
+- ``system.len`` for strings and sequences now returns 0 for nil.
+
+- A single underscore can now be used to discard values when unpacking tuples:
+
+.. code-block:: nim
+  let (path, _, _) = os.splitFile("path/file.ext")
+
+
+- ``marshal.$$`` and ``marshal.to`` can be executed at compile-time.
+- Interoperability with C++ improved tremendously; C++'s templates and
+  operators can be wrapped directly. See
+  `this <nimc.html#additional-features-importcpp-pragma>`_
+  for more information.
+
+
+Library additions
+-----------------
+
+- ``reversed`` proc added to the ``unicode`` module.
+- Added multipart param to httpclient's ``post`` and ``postContent`` together
+  with a ``newMultipartData`` proc.
+- Added `%*` operator for JSON.
+- The compiler is now available as Nimble package for c2nim.
+- Added ``..^`` and ``..<`` templates to system so that the rather annoying
+  space between ``.. <`` and ``.. ^`` is not necessary anymore.
+- Added ``system.xlen`` for strings and sequences to get back the old ``len``
+  operation that doesn't check for ``nil`` for efficiency.
+
+
