Version 0.20.0 released
2019年06月06日 The Nim Team
We are very proud to announce Nim version 0.20.
This is a massive release, both literally and figuratively. It contains more than 1,000 commits and it marks our release candidate for version 1.0!
Version 0.20 introduces a number of breaking changes required for version 1.0. These are changes that we feel have been necessary to include in Nim 1.0 and we currently have no plans for any further breaking changes. Version 0.20 is effectively Nim 1.0 RC1.
Why not just release v1.0? We want to give the community a chance to test 0.20.0 and find bugs that may require breaking changes. This is unlikely, but may require further release candidates. Make no mistake, this release represents what we consider Nim 1.0, we have been working towards this milestone for many years and are incredibly excited to reach it.
The stability guarantee
A 1.0 release means that once either Nim 0.20.0 is promoted to 1.0 status, or another release candidate is, there will no longer be any breaking changes made. Version 1.0 will become a long-term supported stable release that will only receive bug fixes and new features in the future, as long as they don’t break backwards compatibility.
The 1.0.x branch will receive bug fixes for as long as there is demand for them. New features (which do not break backwards compatibility) will continue in steadily advancing 1.x branches.
Our goal is to make sure that code which compiled under Nim 1.0 continues to compile under any stable Nim 1.x version.
What’s included under the stability guarantee?
Backwards compatibility covers only the stable fragment of the language, as defined by the manual.
The compiler still implements experimental features which are documented in the newly written “experimental manual”, these features are subject to changes which may be backwards incompatible, some of the features included under this umbrella are concepts, the do notation and a few others. Be wary of using these features in production, but do get in touch with us if you want to learn more about our plans regarding them.
The standard library is also covered, we will continue to deprecate procedures if we must, but they will remain supported throughout the 1.x version series.
Exceptions to the rule
We of course have to concede that there are exceptions. In certain serious cases, like for example when a security vulnerability is discovered in the stdlib, we reserve the right to break code which uses it.
Installing 0.20.0
If you have installed a previous version of Nim using choosenim,
getting Nim 0.20.0 is as easy as:
$ choosenim update stable
If you don’t have it already, you can get choosenim by following
these instructions or you can install
Nim by following the instructions on our
install page.
Nimble 0.10.2
This release includes a brand new version of Nimble. See Nimble changelog.
Contributors to v0.20
Our contributors are amazing, and there is far too many to list here. Big thanks to all of you, we couldn’t have pulled off this release without you!
New features
Version 0.20 is positively jam packed with features. Here is a selection of our favourites:
not is always a unary operator
let a = false
# v0.19:
assert not a # Error: type mismatch: got <proc (cond: untyped, msg: string): typed, bool>
assert(not a) # workaround
# v0.20:
assert not a
Stricter compile time checks for integer and float conversions
# v0.19:
const b = uint16(-1)
echo b # 65535
# v0.20:
const b = uint16(-1)
# Error: -1 can't be converted to uint16
const c = not uint16(0)
echo c # 65535
Tuple unpacking for constant and for loop variables
const (d, e) = (7, "eight")
# v0.19: Error: identifier expected, but got '('
# v0.20:
echo d # 7
echo e # eight
let f = @[(51, 10), (23, 25)]
for (x, y) in f: # v0.19: Error: identifier expected, but got '('
echo x + y
# v0.20:
# 61
# 48
Hash sets and tables are initialized by default
import sets, tables
var s: HashSet[int]
s.incl(5)
# v0.19: `isValid(s)` Error: unhandled exception: The set needs to be initialized. [AssertionError]
# v0.20:
echo s # {5}
var t: Table[char, int]
t['a'] = 10
# v0.19: Error: unhandled exception: index out of bounds [IndexError]
# v0.20:
echo t # {'a': 10}
Better error message for case-statements
type
MyEnum = enum
first
second
third
fourth
proc foo(x: MyEnum): int =
case x
of first: 1
of second: 2
of third: 3
of fourth: 4
else: 99
# v0.19: compiles
# v0.20: Error: invalid else, all cases are already covered
proc bar(x: MyEnum): int =
case x
of first: 1
of third: 3
# v0.19: Error: not all cases are covered
# v0.20: Error: not all cases are covered; missing: {second, fourth}
The length of a table must not change during iteration
import tables
var xs = {1: "one", 2: "two", 3: "three"}.toTable
for x in xs.keys:
if x mod 2 == 0:
xs[10*x] = "a lot"
echo xs
# v0.19: {200: "a lot", 1: "one", 2: "two", 3: "three", 20: "a lot"}
# v0.20: Error: unhandled exception: the length of the table changed while iterating over it [AssertionError]
Better error message for index out of bounds
let a = [10, 20, 30]
echo a[5]
# v0.19: Error: index out of bounds
# v0.20: Error: index 5 not in 0 .. 2
Changelog
Changes affecting backwards compatibility
-
shris now sign preserving. Use-d:nimOldShiftRightto enable the old behavior globally. -
The
isLower,isUpperfamily of procs in strutils/unicode operating on strings have been deprecated since it was unclear what these do. Note that the much more useful procs that operate oncharorRuneare not affected. -
strutils.editDistancehas been deprecated, useeditdistance.editDistanceoreditdistance.editDistanceAsciiinstead. -
The OpenMP parallel iterator `
||` now supports any#pragma omp directiveand not just#pragma omp parallel for. See OpenMP documentation.The default annotation is
parallel for, if you used OpenMP without annotation the change is transparent, if you used annotations you will have to prefix your previous annotations withparallel for.Furthermore, an overload with positive stepping is available.
-
The
uncheckedpragma was removed, instead usesystem.UncheckedArray. -
The undocumented
#? strongSpacesparsing mode has been removed. -
The
notoperator is now always a unary operator, this means that code likeassert not isFalse(3)compiles. -
getImplon avarorletsymbol will now return the fullIdentDefstree from the symbol declaration instead of just the initializer portion. -
Methods are now ordinary “single” methods, only the first parameter is used to select the variant at runtime. For backwards compatibility use the new
--multimethods:onswitch. -
Generic methods are now deprecated; they never worked well.
-
Compile time checks for integer and float conversions are now stricter. For example,
const x = uint32(-1)now gives a compile time error instead of being equivalent toconst x = 0xFFFFFFFF'u32. -
Using
typedas the result type in templates/macros now means “expression with a type”. The old meaning oftypedis preserved asvoidor no result type at all. -
A bug allowed
macro foo(): int = 123to compile even though a macro has to return aNimNode. This has been fixed. -
With the exception of
uintanduint64, conversion to unsigned types are now range checked during runtime. -
Macro arguments of type
typedescare now passed to the macro asNimNodelike every other type exceptstatic. Usetypedfor a behavior that is identical in new and old Nim. See the RFC Pass typedesc as NimNode to macros for more details.
Breaking changes in the standard library
-
osproc.execProcessnow also takes aworkingDirparameter. -
std/sha1.secureHashnow acceptsopenArray[char], notstring. (Former successful matches should keep working, though former failures will not.) -
options.UnpackErroris no longer a ref type and inherits fromsystem.Defectinstead ofsystem.ValueError. -
system.ValueErrornow inherits fromsystem.CatchableErrorinstead ofsystem.Defect. -
The procs
parseutils.parseBiggestInt,parseutils.parseInt,parseutils.parseBiggestUIntandparseutils.parseUIntnow raise aValueErrorwhen the parsed integer is outside of the valid range. Previously they sometimes raised anOverflowErrorand sometimes they returned0. -
The procs
parseutils.parseBin,parseutils.parseOctandparseutils.parseHexwere not clearing theirvarparameternumberand used to push its value to the left when storing the parsed string into it. Now they always set the value of the parameter to0before storing the result of the parsing, unless the string to parse is not valid (then the value ofnumberis not changed). -
streams.StreamObjectnow restricts its fields to only raisesystem.Defect,system.IOErrorandsystem.OSError. This change only affects custom stream implementations. -
nre’s
RegexMatch.{captureBounds,captures}[]no longer returnOptionornil/"", respectively. Use the newly addedn in p.capturesmethod to check if a group is captured, otherwise you’ll receive an exception. -
nre’s
RegexMatch.{captureBounds,captures}.toTableno longer accept a default parameter. Instead uncaptured entries are left empty. UseTable.getOrDefault()if you need defaults. -
nre’s
RegexMatch.captures.{items,toSeq}now returns anOption[string]instead of astring. With the removal ofnilstrings, this is the only way to indicate a missing match. Inside your loops, instead ofcapture == ""orcapture == nil, usecapture.isSometo check if a capture is present, andcapture.getto get its value. -
nre’s
replace()no longer throwsValueErrorwhen the replacement string has missing captures. It instead throwsKeyErrorfor named captures, andIndexErrorfor unnamed captures. This is consistent withRegexMatch.{captureBounds,captures}[]. -
splitFilenow correctly handles edge cases, see #10047. -
isNilis no longer false for undefined in the JavaScript backend: now it’s true for both nil and undefined. UseisNullorisUndefinedif you need exact equality:isNilis consistent with===,isNullandisUndefinedwith==. -
several deprecated modules were removed:
ssl,matchers,httpserver,unsigned,actors,parseurl -
two poorly documented and not used modules (
subexes,scgi) were moved to graveyard (they are available as Nimble packages) -
procs
string.add(int)andstring.add(float)which implicitly convert ints and floats to string have been deprecated. Usestring.addInt(int)andstring.addFloat(float)instead. -
case objectbranch transitions viasystem.resetare deprecated. Compile your code with-d:nimOldCaseObjectsfor a transition period. -
base64 module: The default parameter
newLinefor theencodeprocs was changed from"\13\10"to the empty string"".
Breaking changes in the compiler
- The compiler now implements the “generic symbol prepass” for
whenstatements in generics, see bug #8603. This means that code like this does not compile anymore:
proc enumToString*(enums: openArray[enum]): string =
# typo: 'e' instead 'enums'
when e.low.ord >= 0 and e.high.ord < 256:
result = newString(enums.len)
else:
result = newString(enums.len * 2)
-
discard xis now illegal whenxis a function symbol. -
Implicit imports via
--import: modulein a config file are now restricted to the main package.
Library additions
-
There is a new stdlib module
std/editdistanceas a replacement for the deprecatedstrutils.editDistance. -
There is a new stdlib module
std/wordwrapas a replacement for the deprecatedstrutils.wordwrap. -
Added
split,splitWhitespace,size,alignLeft,align,strip,repeatprocs and iterators tounicode.nim. -
Added
orforNimNodeinmacros. -
Added
system.typeoffor more control over howtypeexpressions can be deduced. -
Added
macros.isInstantiationOffor checking if the proc symbol is instantiation of generic proc symbol. -
Added the parameter
isSortedfor thesequtils.deduplicateproc. -
Added
os.relativePath. -
Added
parseopt.remainingArgs. -
Added
os.getCurrentCompilerExe(implemented asgetAppFilenameat CT), can be used to retrieve the currently executing compiler. -
Added
xmltree.toXmlAttributes. -
Added
std/sumsmodule for fast summation functions. -
Added
Rusage,getrusage,wait4to the posix interface. -
Added the
posix_utilsmodule. -
Added
system.default. -
Added
sequtils.itemsfor closure iterators, allows closure iterators to be used by themapIt,filterIt,allIt,anyIt, etc.
Library changes
-
The string output of
macros.lispReprproc has been tweaked slightly. ThedumpLispmacro in this module now outputs an indented proper Lisp, devoid of commas. -
Added
macros.signatureHashthat returns a stable identifier derived from the signature of a symbol. -
In
strutilsempty strings now no longer match as substrings. -
The
Complextype is now a generic object and not a tuple anymore. -
The
ospathsmodule is now deprecated, useosinstead. Note thatosis available in a NimScript environment but unsupported operations produce a compile-time error. -
The
parseoptmodule now supports a new flagallowWhitespaceAfterColon(default value: true) that can be set tofalsefor better Posix interoperability. (Bug #9619.) -
os.joinPathandos.normalizePathhandle edge cases like"a/b/../../.."differently. -
securehashwas moved tolib/deprecated. -
The switch
-d:useWinAnsiis not supported anymore. -
In
timesmodule, procsformatandparseaccept a new optionalDateTimeLocaleargument for formatting/parsing dates in other languages.
Language additions
- Vm support for float32<->int32 and float64<->int64 casts was added.
- There is a new pragma block
noSideEffectthat works like thegcsafepragma block. - added
os.getCurrentProcessId. - User defined pragmas are now allowed in the pragma blocks.
- Pragma blocks are no longer eliminated from the typed AST tree to preserve pragmas for further analysis by macros.
- Custom pragmas are now supported for
varandletsymbols. - Tuple unpacking is now supported for constants and for loop variables.
- Case object branches can be initialized with a runtime discriminator if possible discriminator values are constrained within a case statement.
Language changes
-
The standard extension for SCF (source code filters) files was changed from
.tmplto.nimf, it’s more recognizable and allows tools like Github to recognize it as Nim, see #9647. The previous extension will continue to work. -
Pragma syntax is now consistent. Previous syntax where type pragmas did not follow the type name is now deprecated. Also pragma before generic parameter list is deprecated to be consistent with how pragmas are used with a proc. See #8514 and #1872 for further details.
-
Hash sets and tables are initialized by default. The explicit
initHashSet,initTable, etc. are not needed anymore.
Tool changes
jsondocnow includes amoduleDescriptionfield with the module description.jsondoc0shows comments as its own objects as shown in the documentation.nimpretty: –backup now defaults tooffinstead ofonand the flag was undocumented; usegitinstead of relying on backup files.kochnow defaults to build the latest stable Nimble version unless you explicitly ask for the latest master version via--latest.
Compiler changes
- The deprecated
fmodproc is now unavailable on the VM. - A new
--outdiroption was added. - The compiled JavaScript file for the project produced by executing
nim jswill no longer be placed in the nimcache directory. - The
--hotCodeReloadinghas been implemented for the native targets. The compiler also provides a new more flexible API for handling the hot code reloading events in the code. - The compiler now supports a
--expandMacro:macroNameHereswitch for easy introspection into what a macro expands into. - The
-d:releaseswitch now does not disable runtime checks anymore. For a release build that also disables runtime checks use-d:release -d:dangeror simply-d:danger.
