Update to 1.6.6 * standard library use consistent styles for variable names so it can be used in projects which force a consistent style with --styleCheck:usages option. * ARC/ORC are now considerably faster at method dispatching, bringing its performance back on the level of the refc memory management. * Full changelog: https://nim-lang.org/blog/2022/05/05/version-166-released.html - Previous updates and changelogs: * 1.6.4: https://nim-lang.org/blog/2022/02/08/version-164-released.html * 1.6.2: https://nim-lang.org/blog/2021/12/17/version-162-released.html * 1.6.0: https://nim-lang.org/blog/2021/10/19/version-160-released.html * 1.4.8: https://nim-lang.org/blog/2021/05/25/version-148-released.html * 1.4.6: https://nim-lang.org/blog/2021/04/15/versions-146-and-1212-released.html * 1.4.4: https://nim-lang.org/blog/2021/02/23/versions-144-and-1210-released.html * 1.4.2: https://nim-lang.org/blog/2020/12/01/version-142-released.html * 1.4.0: https://nim-lang.org/blog/2020/10/16/version-140-released.html Update to 1.2.16 * oids: switch from PRNG to random module * nimc.rst: fix table markup * nimRawSetjmp: support Windows * correctly enable chronos * bigints are not supposed to work on 1.2.x * disable nimpy * misc bugfixes * fixes a 'mixin' statement handling regression [backport:1.2 Update to version 1.2.12 * Fixed GC crash resulting from inlining of the memory allocation procs * Fixed “incorrect raises effect for $(NimNode)” (#17454) - from version 1.2.10 * Fixed “JS backend doesn’t handle float->int type conversion “ (#8404) * Fixed “The “try except” not work when the “OSError: Too many open files” error occurs!” (#15925) * Fixed “Nim emits #line 0 C preprocessor directives with –debugger:native, with ICE in gcc-10” (#15942) * Fixed “tfuturevar fails when activated” (#9695) * Fixed “nre.escapeRe is not gcsafe” (#16103) * Fixed ““Error: internal error: genRecordFieldAux” - in the “version-1-4” branch” (#16069) * Fixed “-d:fulldebug switch does not compile with gc:arc” (#16214) * Fixed “osLastError may randomly raise defect and crash” (#16359) * Fixed “generic importc proc’s don’t work (breaking lots of vmops procs for js)” (#16428) * Fixed “Concept: codegen ignores parameter passing” (#16897) * Fixed “{.push exportc.} interacts with anonymous functions” (#16967) * Fixed “memory allocation during {.global.} init breaks GC” (#17085) * Fixed 'Nimble arbitrary code execution for specially crafted package metadata' + https://github.com/nim-lang/security/security/advisories/GHSA-rg9f-w24h-962p + (boo#1185083, CVE-2021-21372) * Fixed 'Nimble falls back to insecure http url when fetching packages' + https://github.com/nim-lang/security/security/advisories/GHSA-8w52-r35x-rgp8 + (boo#1185084, CVE-2021-21373) * Fixed 'Nimble fails to validate certificates due to insecure httpClient defaults' + https://github.com/nim-lang/security/security/advisories/GHSA-c2wm-v66h-xhxx + (boo#1185085, CVE-2021-21374) - from version 1.2.8 * Fixed “Defer and –gc:arc” (#15071) * Fixed “Issue with –gc:arc at compile time” (#15129) * Fixed “Nil check on each field fails in generic function” (#15101) * Fixed “[strscans] scanf doesn’t match a single character with $+ if it’s the end of the string” (#15064) * Fixed “Crash and incorrect return values when using readPasswordFromStdin on Windows.” (#15207) * Fixed “Inconsistent unsigned -> signed RangeDefect usage across integer sizes” (#15210) * Fixed “toHex results in RangeDefect exception when used with large uint64” (#15257) * Fixed “Mixing ‘return’ with expressions is allowed in 1.2” (#15280) * Fixed “proc execCmdEx doesn’t work with -d:useWinAnsi” (#14203) * Fixed “memory corruption in tmarshall.nim” (#9754) * Fixed “Wrong number of variables” (#15360) * Fixed “defer doesnt work with block, break and await” (#15243) * Fixed “Sizeof of case object is incorrect.
