Changelog
~~~~~~~~~

Changes affecting backwards compatibility
-----------------------------------------

- ``staticExec`` now uses the directory of the nim file that contains the
  ``staticExec`` call as the current working directory.
- ``TimeInfo.tzname`` has been removed from ``times`` module because it was
  broken. Because of this, the option ``"ZZZ"`` will no longer work in format
  strings for formatting and parsing.

Library Additions
-----------------

- Added new parameter to ``error`` proc of ``macro`` module to provide better
  error message
- Added new ``deques`` module intended to replace ``queues``.
  ``deques`` provides a superset of ``queues`` API with clear naming.
  ``queues`` module is now deprecated and will be removed in the future.
