-=================================

-.. container:: metadata

-  Posted by Andreas Rumpf on 21/12/2009

-The version jump from 0.8.2 to 0.8.6 acknowledges the fact that all development
-of the compiler is now done in Nimrod.

-Bugfixes
---------
-- The pragmas ``hint[X]:off`` and ``warning[X]:off`` now work.
-- Method call syntax for iterators works again (``for x in lines.split()``).
-- Fixed a typo in ``removeDir`` for POSIX that lead to an infinite recursion.
-- The compiler now checks that module filenames are valid identifiers.
-- Empty patterns for the ``dynlib`` pragma are now possible.
-- ``os.parseCmdLine`` returned wrong results for trailing whitespace.
-- Inconsequent tuple usage (using the same tuple with and without named fields)
-  does not crash the code generator anymore.
-- A better error message is provided when the loading of a proc within a
-  dynamic lib fails.
-

-Additions
----------
-- Added ``system.contains`` for open arrays.
-- The PEG module now supports the *search loop operator* ``@``.
-- Grammar/parser: ``SAD|IND`` is allowed before any kind of closing bracket.
-  This allows for more flexible source code formating.
-- The compiler now uses a *bind* table for symbol lookup within a ``bind``
-  context. (See `<manual.html#templates>`_ for details.)
-- ``discard """my long comment"""`` is now optimized away.
-- New ``--floatChecks: on|off`` switches and pragmas for better debugging
-  of floating point operations. (See
-  `<manual.html#pre-defined-floating-point-types>`_ for details.)
-- The manual has been improved. (Many thanks to Philippe Lhoste!)

-Changes affecting backwards compatibility
------------------------------------------
-- The compiler does not skip the linking step anymore even if no file
-  has changed.
-- ``os.splitFile(".xyz")`` now returns ``("", ".xyz", "")`` instead of
-  ``("", "", ".xyz")``. So filenames starting with a dot are handled
-  differently.
-- ``strutils.split(s: string, seps: set[char])`` never yields the empty string
-  anymore. This behaviour is probably more appropriate for whitespace splitting.
-- The compiler now stops after the ``--version`` command line switch.
-- Removed support for enum inheritance in the parser; enum inheritance has
-  never been documented anyway.
-- The ``msg`` field of ``system.E_base`` has now the type ``string``, instead
-  of ``cstring``. This improves memory safety.
