-Bugfixes
---------
-
-- Bugfix: Command line parsing on Windows and ``os.parseCmdLine`` now adheres
-  to the same parsing rules as Microsoft's C/C++ startup code.
-- Bugfix: Passing a ``ref`` pointer to the untyped ``pointer`` type is invalid.
-- Bugfix: Updated ``keyval`` example.
-- Bugfix: ``system.splitChunk`` still contained code for debug output.
-- Bugfix: ``dialogs.ChooseFileToSave`` uses ``STOCK_SAVE`` instead of
-  ``STOCK_OPEN`` for the GTK backend.
-- Bugfix: Various bugs concerning exception handling fixed.
-- Bugfix: ``low(somestring)`` crashed the compiler.
-- Bugfix: ``strutils.endsWith`` lacked range checking.
-- Bugfix: Better detection for AMD64 on Mac OS X.

-Changes affecting backwards compatibility
------------------------------------------
-
-- Reversed parameter order for ``os.copyFile`` and ``os.moveFile``!!!
-- Procs not marked as ``procvar`` cannot only be passed to a procvar anymore,
-  unless they are used in the same module.
-- Deprecated ``times.getStartMilsecs``: Use ``epochTime`` or ``cpuTime``
-  instead.
-- Removed ``system.OpenFile``.
-- Removed ``system.CloseFile``.
-- Removed ``strutils.replaceStr``.
-- Removed ``strutils.deleteStr``.
-- Removed ``strutils.splitLinesSeq``.
-- Removed ``strutils.splitSeq``.
-- Removed ``strutils.toString``.
-- If a DLL cannot be loaded (via the ``dynlib`` pragma) ``EInvalidLibrary``
-  is not raised anymore. Instead ``system.quit()`` is called. This is because
-  raising an exception requires heap allocations. However the memory manager
-  might be contained in the DLL that failed to load.
-- The ``re`` module (and the ``pcre`` wrapper) now depend on the pcre dll.

-Additions
----------
-
-- The ``{.compile: "file.c".}`` pragma uses a CRC check to see if the file
-  needs to be recompiled.
-- Added ``system.reopen``.
-- Added ``system.getCurrentException``.
-- Added ``system.appType``.
-- Added ``system.compileOption``.
-- Added ``times.epochTime`` and ``times.cpuTime``.
-- Implemented explicit type arguments for generics.
-- Implemented ``{.size: sizeof(cint).}`` pragma for enum types. This is useful
-  for interfacing with C.
-- Implemented ``{.pragma.}`` pragma for user defined pragmas.
-- Implemented ``{.extern.}`` pragma for better control of name mangling.
-- The ``importc`` and ``exportc`` pragmas support format strings:
-  ``proc p{.exportc: "nim_$1".}`` exports ``p`` as ``nim_p``. This is useful
-  for user defined pragmas.
-- The standard library can be built as a DLL. Generating DLLs has been
-  improved.
-- Added ``expat`` module.
-- Added ``json`` module.
-- Added support for a *Tiny C* backend. Currently this only works on Linux.
-  You need to bootstrap with ``-d:tinyc`` to enable Tiny C support. Nimrod
-  can then execute code directly via ``nimrod run myfile``.
