-Bugfixes
---------
-- The Posix version of ``os.copyFile`` has better error handling.
-- Fixed bug #502670 (underscores in identifiers).
-- Fixed a bug in the ``parsexml`` module concerning the parsing of
-  ``<tag attr="value" />``.
-- Fixed a bug in the ``parsexml`` module concerning the parsing of
-  enities like ``&ltXX``.
-- ``system.write(f: TFile, s: string)`` now works even if ``s`` contains binary
-  zeros.
-- Fixed a bug in ``os.setFilePermissions`` for Windows.
-- An overloadable symbol can now have the same name as an imported module.
-- Fixed a serious bug in ``strutils.cmpIgnoreCase``.
-- Fixed ``unicode.toUTF8``.
-- The compiler now rejects ``'\n'`` (use ``"\n"`` instead).
-- ``times.getStartMilsecs()`` now works on Mac OS X.
-- Fixed a bug in ``pegs.match`` concerning start offsets.
-- Lots of other little bugfixes.

-Additions
----------
-- Added ``system.cstringArrayToSeq``.
-- Added ``system.lines(f: TFile)`` iterator.
-- Added ``system.delete``, ``system.del`` and ``system.insert`` for sequences.
-- Added ``system./`` for int.
-- Exported ``system.newException`` template.
-- Added ``cgi.decodeData(data: string): tuple[key, value: string]``.
-- Added ``strutils.insertSep``.
-- Added ``math.trunc``.
-- Added ``ropes`` module.
-- Added ``sockets`` module.
-- Added ``browsers`` module.
-- Added ``httpserver`` module.
-- Added ``httpclient`` module.
-- Added ``parseutils`` module.
-- Added ``unidecode`` module.
-- Added ``xmldom`` module.
-- Added ``xmldomparser`` module.
-- Added ``xmltree`` module.
-- Added ``xmlparser`` module.
-- Added ``htmlparser`` module.
-- Added ``re`` module.
-- Added ``graphics`` module.
-- Added ``colors`` module.
-- Many wrappers now do not contain redundant name prefixes (like ``GTK_``,
-  ``lua``). The old wrappers are still available in ``lib/oldwrappers``.
-  You can change your configuration file to use these.
-- Triple quoted strings allow for ``"`` in more contexts.
-- ``""`` within raw string literals stands for a single quotation mark.
-- Arguments to ``openArray`` parameters can be left out.
-- More extensive subscript operator overloading. (To be documented.)
-- The documentation generator supports the ``.. raw:: html`` directive.
-- The Pegs module supports back references via the notation ``$capture_index``.

-Changes affecting backwards compatibility
------------------------------------------
-
-- Overloading of the subscript operator only works if the type does not provide
-  a built-in one.
-- The search order for libraries which is affected by the ``path`` option
-  has been reversed, so that the project's path is searched before
-  the standard library's path.
-- The compiler does not include a Pascal parser for bootstrapping purposes any
-  more. Instead there is a ``pas2nim`` tool that contains the old functionality.
-- The procs ``os.copyFile`` and ``os.moveFile`` have been deprecated
-  temporarily, so that the compiler warns about their usage. Use them with
-  named arguments only, because the parameter order will change the next
-  version!
-- ``atomic`` and ``let`` are now keywords.
-- The ``\w`` character class for pegs now includes the digits ``'0'..'9'``.
-- Many wrappers now do not contain redundant name prefixes (like ``GTK_``,
-  ``lua``) anymore.
-- Arguments to ``openArray`` parameters can be left out.
