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. |
