-Standalone except and finally statements
-----------------------------------------
+Try expression
+--------------
 
-``except`` and ``finally`` can also be used as a stand-alone statements.
-Any statements following them in the current block will be considered to be 
-in an implicit try block:
+Try can also be used as an expression; the type of the ``try`` branch then
+needs to fit the types of ``except`` branches, but the type of the ``finally``
+branch always has to be ``void``:
+
+.. code-block:: nim
+  let x = try: parseInt("133a")
+          except: -1
+          finally: echo "hi"
+
+
+To prevent confusing code there is a parsing limitation; if the ``try``
+follows a ``(`` it has to be written as a one liner:
+
+.. code-block:: nim
+  let x = (try: parseInt("133a") except: -1)
+
+
+
+Defer statement
+---------------
+
+Instead of a ``try finally`` statement a ``defer`` statement can be used.
+
+Any statements following the ``defer`` in the current block will be considered

-  finally: close(f)
-  ...
+  defer: close(f)
+  f.write "abc"
+  f.write "def"
 
-The ``except`` statement has a limitation in this form: one can't specify the
-type of the exception, one has to catch everything. Also, if one wants to use
-both ``finally`` and ``except`` one needs to reverse the usual sequence of the
-statements. Example:
+Is rewritten to:
 
 .. code-block:: nim

-    except: echo "2. Except block"
-    echo "1. Pre exception"
-    test()
-    echo "4. Post exception"

+  try:
+    f.write "abc"
+    f.write "def"
+  finally:

+
+Top level ``defer`` statements are not supported
 since it's unclear what such a statement should refer to.

-  2014-10-21 Version 0.10.2 released
-  ==================================
-
-  This release is the latest release before the release canditates for version
-  1.0 roll in. Starting with version 0.10.2 the rename of the language to Nim
-  is officially complete. As the list of language changes is quite long it's
-  much more work to update the average Nim project than used to be the case.
-  However there is a new tool, `nimfix <nimfix.html>`_ to help you
-  in updating your code from Nimrod to Nim. This tool is unfortunately not
-  perfect but has been used to update thousands of lines of code successfully.
-
-
-  Changes affecting backwards compatibility
-  -----------------------------------------
-
-  - **The language has been renamed from Nimrod to Nim.** The name of the
-    compiler changed from ``nimrod`` to ``nim`` too.
-  - ``system.fileHandle`` has been renamed to ``system.getFileHandle`` to
-    prevent name conflicts with the new type ``FileHandle``.
-  - Comments are now not part of the AST, as such you cannot use them in place
-    of ``discard``.
-  - Large parts of the stdlib got rid of the T/P type prefixes. Instead most
-    types now simply start with an uppercased letter. The
-    so called "partial case sensitivity" rule is now active allowing for code
-    like ``var foo: Foo`` in more contexts.
-  - String case (or any non-ordinal case) statements
-    without 'else' are deprecated.
-  - Recursive tuple types are not allowed anymore. Use ``object`` instead.
-  - The PEGS module returns ``nil`` instead of ``""`` when an optional capture
-    fails to match.
-  - The re module returns ``nil`` instead of ``""`` when an optional capture
-    fails to match.
-  - The "symmetric set difference" operator (``-+-``) never worked and has been
-    removed.
-  - ``defer`` is a keyword now.
-  - ``func`` is a keyword now.
-  - The ``using`` language feature now needs to be activated via the new
-    ``{.experimental.}`` pragma that enables experimental language features.
-  - Destructors are now officially *experimental*.
-  - Standalone ``except`` and ``finally`` statements are deprecated now.
-    The standalone ``finally`` can be replaced with ``defer``,
-    standalone ``except`` requires an explicit ``try``.
-  - Operators ending in ``>`` are considered as "arrow like" and have their
-    own priority level and are right associative. This means that
-    the ``=>`` and ``->`` operators from the `future <future.html>`_ module
-    work better.
-  - Field names in tuples are now ignored for type comparisons. This allows
-    for greater interoperability between different modules.
-
-
-  Language Additions
-  ------------------
-
-  - The new concurrency model has been implemented including ``locks`` sections,
-    lock levels and object field ``guards``.
-  - The ``parallel`` statement has been implemented.
-  - ``deepCopy`` has been added to the language.
-  - The builtin ``procCall`` can be used to get ``super``-like functionality
-    for multi methods.
-  - There is a new pragma ``{.experimental.}`` that enables experimental
-    language features per module, or you can enable this features on a global
-    level with the ``--experimental`` command line option.
-
-
-  Compiler Additions
-  ------------------
-
-  - The compiler now supports *mixed* Objective C / C++ / C code generation:
-    The modules that use ``importCpp`` or ``importObjc`` are compiled to C++
-    or Objective C code, any other module is compiled to C code. This
-    improves interoperability.
-  - There is a new ``parallel`` statement for safe fork&join parallel computing.
-  - ``guard`` and ``lock`` pragmas have been implemented to support safer
-    concurrent programming.
-  - The following procs are now available at compile-time::
-
-      math.sqrt, math.ln, math.log10, math.log2, math.exp, math.round,
-      math.arccos, math.arcsin, math.arctan, math.arctan2, math.cos, math.cosh,
-      math.hypot, math.sinh, math.sin, math.tan, math.tanh, math.pow,
-      math.trunc, math.floor, math.ceil, math.fmod,
-      os.getEnv, os.existsEnv, os.dirExists, os.fileExists,
-      system.writeFile
-
-  - Two backticks now produce a single backtick within an ``emit`` or ``asm``
-    statement.
-  - There is a new tool, `nimfix <nimfix.html>`_ to help you in updating your
-    code from Nimrod to Nim.
-  
+2014-12-29 Version 0.10.2 released
+==================================
+
+This release marks the completion of a very important change to the project:
+the official renaming from Nimrod to Nim. Version 0.10.2 contains many language
+changes, some of which may break your existing code. For your convenience, we
+added a new tool called `nimfix <nimfix.html>`_ that will help you convert your
+existing projects so that it works with the latest version of the compiler.
+
+Progress towards version 1.0
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Although Nim is still pre-1.0, we were able to keep the number of breaking
+changes to a minimum so far. Starting with version 1.0, we will not introduce
+any breaking changes between major release versions.
+One of Nim's goals is to ensure that the compiler is as efficient as possible.
+Take a look at the
+`latest benchmarks <https://github.com/logicchains/LPATHBench/blob/master/writeup.md>`_,
+which show that Nim is consistently near
+the top and already nearly as fast as C and C++. Recent developments, such as
+the new ``asyncdispatch`` module will allow you to write efficient web server
+applications using non-blocking code. Nim now also has a built-in thread pool
+for lightweight threading through the use of ``spawn``.
+
+The unpopular "T" and "P" prefixes on types have been deprecated. Nim also
+became more expressive by weakening the distinction between statements and
+expressions. We also added a new and searchable forum, a new website, and our
+documentation generator ``docgen`` has seen major improvements.
+
+What's left to be done
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The 1.0 release is actually very close. Apart from bug fixes, there are
+two major features missing or incomplete:
+
+* ``static[T]`` needs to be defined precisely and the bugs in the
+  implementation need to be fixed.
+* Overloading of the assignment operator is required for some generic
+  containers and needs to be implemented.
+
+This means that fancy matrix libraries will finally start to work, which used
+to be a major point of pain in the language.
+
+
+Nimble and other Nim tools
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Outside of the language and the compiler itself many Nim tools have seen
+considerable improvements.
+
+Babel the Nim package manager has been renamed to Nimble. Nimble's purpose
+is the installation of packages containing libraries and/or applications
+written in Nim.
+Even though Nimble is still very young it already is very
+functional. It can install packages by name, it does so by accessing a
+packages repository which is hosted on a Github repo. Packages can also be
+installed via a Git repo URL or Mercurial repo URL. The package repository
+is searchable through Nimble. Anyone is free to add their own packages to
+the package repository by forking the
+`nim-lang/packages <https://github.com/nim-lang/packages>`_ repo and creating
+a pull request. Nimble is fully cross-platform and should be fully functional
+on all major operating systems.
+It is of course completely written in Nim.
+
