-Bugfixes
---------
-
-- Bugfix: ``httpclient`` correct passes the path starting with ``/``.
-- Bugfixes for the ``htmlparser`` module.
-- Bugfix: ``pegs.find`` did not respect ``start`` parameter.
-- Bugfix: ``dialogs.ChooseFilesToOpen`` did not work if only one file is
-  selected.
-- Bugfix: niminst: ``nimrod`` is not default dir for *every* project.
-- Bugfix: Multiple yield statements in iterators did not cause local vars to be
-  copied.
-- Bugfix: The compiler does not emit very inaccurate floating point literals
-  anymore.
-- Bugfix: Subclasses are taken into account for ``try except`` matching.
-- Bugfix: Generics and macros are more stable. There are still known bugs left
-  though.
-- Bugfix: Generated type information for tuples was sometimes wrong, causing
-  random crashes.
-- Lots of other bugfixes: Too many to list them all.

-Changes affecting backwards compatibility
------------------------------------------
-
-- Operators starting with ``^`` are now right-associative and have the highest
-  priority.
-- Deprecated ``os.getApplicationFilename``: Use ``os.getAppFilename`` instead.
-- Deprecated ``os.getApplicationDir``: Use ``os.getAppDir`` instead.
-- Deprecated ``system.copy``: Use ``substr`` or string slicing instead.
-- Changed and documented how generalized string literals work: The syntax
-  ``module.re"abc"`` is now supported.
-- Changed the behaviour of ``strutils.%``, ``ropes.%``
-  if both notations ``$#`` and ``$i`` are involved.
-- The ``pegs`` and ``re`` modules distinguish between ``replace``
-  and ``replacef`` operations.
-- The pointer dereference operation ``p^`` is deprecated and might become
-  ``^p`` in later versions or be dropped entirely since it is rarely used.
-  Use the new notation ``p[]`` in the rare cases where you need to
-  dereference a pointer explicitly.
-- ``system.readFile`` does not return ``nil`` anymore but raises an ``EIO``
-  exception instead.
-- Unsound co-/contravariance for procvars has been removed.
-

-Language Additions
-------------------
-
-- Source code filters are now documented.
-- Added the ``linearScanEnd``, ``unroll``, ``shallow`` pragmas.
-- Added ``emit`` pragma for direct code generator control.
-- Case statement branches support constant sets for programming convenience.
-- Tuple unpacking is not enforced in ``for`` loops anymore.
-- The compiler now supports array, sequence and string slicing.
-- A field in an ``enum`` may be given an explicit string representation.
-  This yields more maintainable code than using a constant
-  ``array[TMyEnum, string]`` mapping.
-- Indices in array literals may be explicitly given, enhancing readability:
-  ``[enumValueA: "a", enumValueB: "b"]``.
-- Added thread support via the ``threads`` core module and
-  the ``--threads:on`` command line switch.
-- The built-in iterators ``system.fields`` and ``system.fieldPairs`` can be
-  used to iterate over any field of a tuple. With this mechanism operations
-  like ``==`` and ``hash`` are lifted to tuples.
-- The slice ``..`` is now a first-class operator, allowing code like:
-  ``x in 1000..100_000``.
-
-
-Compiler Additions
-------------------
-
-- The compiler supports IDEs via the new group of ``idetools`` command line
-  options.
-- The *interactive mode* (REPL) has been improved and documented for the
-  first time.
-- The compiler now might use hashing for string case statements depending
-  on the number of string literals in the case statement.
-
-
-Library Additions
------------------
-
-- Added ``lists`` module which contains generic linked lists.
-- Added ``sets`` module which contains generic hash sets.
-- Added ``tables`` module which contains generic hash tables.
-- Added ``queues`` module which contains generic sequence based queues.
-- Added ``intsets`` module which contains a specialized int set data type.
-- Added ``scgi`` module.
-- Added ``smtp`` module.
-- Added ``encodings`` module.
-- Added ``re.findAll``, ``pegs.findAll``.
-- Added ``os.findExe``.
-- Added ``parseutils.parseUntil`` and ``parseutils.parseWhile``.
-- Added ``strutils.align``, ``strutils.tokenize``, ``strutils.wordWrap``.
-- Pegs support a *captured search loop operator* ``{@}``.
-- Pegs support new built-ins: ``\letter``, ``\upper``, ``\lower``,
-  ``\title``, ``\white``.
-- Pegs support the new built-in ``\skip`` operation.
-- Pegs support the ``$`` and ``^`` anchors.
-- Additional operations were added to the ``complex`` module.
-- Added ``strutils.formatFloat``,  ``strutils.formatBiggestFloat``.
-- Added unary ``<`` for nice looking excluding upper bounds in ranges.
-- Added ``math.floor``.
-- Added ``system.reset`` and a version of ``system.open`` that
-  returns a ``TFile`` and raises an exception in case of an error.
-- Added a wrapper for ``redis``.
-- Added a wrapper for ``0mq`` via the ``zmq`` module.
-- Added a wrapper for ``sphinx``.
-- Added ``system.newStringOfCap``.
-- Added ``system.raiseHook`` and ``system.outOfMemHook``.
-- Added ``system.writeFile``.
-- Added ``system.shallowCopy``.
-- ``system.echo`` is guaranteed to be thread-safe.
-- Added ``prelude`` include file for scripting convenience.
-- Added ``typeinfo`` core module for access to runtime type information.
-- Added ``marshal`` module for JSON serialization.
