Nimble changelog

0.14.0

This is a major release containing four new features:

  • A new dependencies development mode.
  • Support for lock files.
  • Download tarballs when downloading packages from GitHub.
  • A setup command.
  • Added a --package, -p command line option.

0.13.0

This is a bugfix release. It enhances the security in multiple aspects:

  • URLs default to https.
  • SSL certificates are checked.
  • Shell escaping bugs have been fixed.

0.12.0

This is a major release containing multiple improvements and bug fixes:

  • nimble dump now provides --json output.
  • Calls to the Nim compiler now display --hints:off output by default. The --verbose flag will print the full Nim command as well as regular compiler output.
  • Custom tasks can now be passed compiler flags as well as run flags when run as nimble <compflags> task <runflags>. This includes the custom test task if defined. Compile flags are forwarded to nim e that executes the .nimble task and can be used to set --define:xxx and other compiler flags that are applicable in Nimscript mode. Run flags can be accessed per usual from commandLineParams: seq[string].
  • The default nimble test task also allows passing compiler flags but given run flags are not really applicable for multiple test binaries, it allows specifying compile flags before or after the test task.
  • nimble install also allows passing compiler flags similar to the default nimble test and no longer requires the --passNim flag.
  • The Nim compiler to be used by Nimble can now be specified with the --nim flag. This is useful for debugging purposes.
  • Nimble now supports project local dependency mode - if a nimbledeps directory exists within a project, Nimble will use it to store all package dependencies instead of ~/.nimble/bin. This enables isolation of a project and its dependencies from other projects being developed.
  • The -l | --localdeps flag can be used to setup a project in local dependency mode.
  • Nimble output can now be suppressed using --silent.
  • Binaries compiled by Nimble can now be named differently than the source file with the namedBin table instead of bin. In addition, binary names that clash with a pkgname directory containing .nim files no longer require appending pkg to the directory.

0.11.4 - 19/05/2020

This is a minor release containing just 2 commits and a few minor bug fixes.

Full changelog: https://github.com/nim-lang/nimble/compare/v0.11.2...v0.11.4

0.11.2 - 02/05/2020

This is a minor release containing just 15 commits. This release brings mostly bug fixes with some minor new features:

  • The == operator can now be used in version requirements.
  • Handling of arguments for nimble run has been improved.
  • The nimble run command can now be used without any arguments if the package has only one binary specified.

Full changelog: https://github.com/nim-lang/nimble/compare/v0.11.0...v0.11.2

0.11.0 - 22/09/2019

This is a major release containing nearly 60 commits. Most changes are bug fixes, but this release also includes a couple new features:

  • Binaries can now be built and run using the new run command.
  • The NimblePkgVersion is now defined so you can easily get the package version in your source code (example).

Some other highlights:

  • Temporary files are now kept when the --debug flag is used.
  • Fixed dependency resolution issues with "#head" packages (#432 and #672).
  • The install command can now take Nim compiler flags via the new --passNim flag.
  • Command line arguments are now passed properly to tasks (#633).
  • The test command now respects the specified backend (#631).
  • The dump command will no longer prompt and now has an implicit -y.
  • Fixed bugs with the new nimscript executor (#665).
  • Fixed multiple downloads and installs of the same package (#678).
  • Nimble init no longer overwrites existing files (#581).
  • Fixed incorrect submodule version being pulled when in a non-master branch (#675).

Full changelog: https://github.com/nim-lang/nimble/compare/v0.10.2...v0.11.0

0.10.2 - 03/06/2019

This is a small release which avoids object variant changes that are now treated as runtime errors (Nim #1286). It also adds support for backend selection during nimble init.

Multiple bug fixes are also included:

  • Fixed an issue where failing tasks were not returning a non-zero return value (#655).
  • Error out if bin is a Nim source file (#597).
  • Fixed an issue where nimble task would not run if file of same name exists.
  • Fixed an issue that prevented multiple instances of nimble from running on the same package.

Full changelog: https://github.com/nim-lang/nimble/compare/v0.10.0...v0.10.2

0.10.0 - 27/05/2019

Nimble now uses the Nim compiler directly via nim e to execute nimble scripts rather than embedding the Nim VM. This has multiple benefits:

  • Evolve independently from Nim enabling new versions of Nimble to work with multiple versions of Nim.
  • Inherit all nimscript enhancements and bug fixes rather than having to duplicate functionality.
  • Fast build time and smaller binary.
  • No dependency on the compiler package which could cause dependency issues when nimble is used as a package.

Several other features and fixes have been implemented to improve general development and test workflows.

  • nimble test now sports a -continue or -c flag that allows tests to continue on failure, removes all created test binaries on completion and warns if no tests found.
  • The --inclDeps or -i flag enables nimble uninstall to remove all dependent packages during uninstall.
  • Added documentation on the usage of a custom nimbleDir.
  • Package type interactive prompt is more readable.
  • Save temporary files in a per-user temp dir to enable Nimble on multi-user systems.
  • CTRL-C is now handled correctly in interactive prompts.
  • Fixed issue where empty package list led to error.
  • Fixed issue where file:// was prepended incorrectly.
  • Fixed miscellaneous issues in version parsing, Github auth and briefClone.
  • Miscellaneous cleanup of deprecated procs.

Full changelog: https://github.com/nim-lang/nimble/compare/v0.9.0...v0.10.0

0.9.0 - 19/09/2018

This is a major new release which contains at least one breaking change. Unfortunately even though it was planned, support for lock files did not make it into this release. The release does however contain a large number of fixes spread across 57 commits.

The breaking change in this release is to do with the handling of binary package. Any package that specifies a bin value in it's .nimble file will no longer install any Nim source code files, in other words it's not going to be a hybrid package by default. This means that so called "hybrid packages" now need to specify installExt = @["nim"] in their metadata, otherwise they will become binary packages only.

  • Breaking: hybrid packages require installExt = @["nim"] (Commit)
  • The init command can now show a list of choices for information such as the license.
  • The init command now creates correct project structures for all package types.
  • Fatal errors are no longer created when the path inside a .nimble-link file doesn't exist.
  • The develop command now always clones HEAD and grabs the full repo history.
  • The default test task no longer executes all tests (only those starting with 't').
  • Colour is no longer used when isatty is false.
  • publish now shows the URL of the created PR.
  • The getPkgDir procedure has been fixed in the Nimble file API.
  • Improved handling of proxy environment variables.
  • Codebase has been improved not to rely on nil in strings and seqs.
  • The handling of pre- and post-hooks has been improved significantly.
  • Fixed the path command for packages with a srcDir and optimised the package look-up.

Full changelog: https://github.com/nim-lang/nimble/compare/v0.8.10...v0.9.0

0.8.10 - 23/02/2018

The first release of 2018! Another fairly big release containing 40 commits. This release fixes many issues, with most being fixed by our brilliant contributors. Thanks a lot everyone!

One big new feature is the new support for multiple Nimble packages in a single Git/Hg repository. You can now specify ?subdir=<dir> at the end of your repo's URL and Nimble will know to look in <dir> for your package.

  • Implemented support for multi-package repos. See #421 for the relevant issue.
  • Better error message when the user has an outdated stdlib version that confuses Nimble
  • The validity of a Nimble package can now be checked using the new check command
  • Nimble no longer silently ignores an erroneous '@' in for example nimble install compiler@.
  • Issues with the nimble path command have been fixed.
  • The nimble publish command has been improved and stabilised.
  • Messages for the NIM_LIB_PREFIX env var have been improved.
  • before install is now called when packages are installed by their name. See #280.
  • Fixed issue with nimble init. See #446.
  • Nimble now rejects reserved names on Windows.
  • The NIMBLE_DIR environment variable is now supported, in addition to the command line flag and config setting.
  • The init command has been improved significantly.

Full changelog: https://github.com/nim-lang/nimble/compare/v0.8.8...v0.8.10

Full changelog: https://github.com/nim-lang/nimble/compare/v0.8.4...v0.8.6

0.8.4 - 29/01/2017

Another bug fix release which resolves problems related to stale nimscriptapi files in /tmp/, no compilation output when nimble build fails, and issues with the new package validation on Windows.

Full changelog: https://github.com/nim-lang/nimble/compare/v0.8.2...v0.8.4

0.8.2 - 08/01/2017

This is a small bug fix release which resolves problems with the installation of Aporia (and likely other Nimble packages).

0.8.0 - 05/01/2017

This is a large release containing multiple new features and many bug fixes.

  • Implemented a completely new output system.
    • Supports different message types and priorities. Each is differently encoded using a color and a brightness.
    • The amount of messages shown can be changed by using the new --verbose and --debug flags, by default only high priority messages are shown.
    • Duplicate warnings are filtered out to prevent too much noise.
  • Package namespaces are now validated. You will see a warning whenever an incorrectly namespaced package is read by Nimble, this can occur either during installation or when the installed package database is being loaded. The namespacing rules are described in Nimble's readme. Consider these warnings to be unstable, if you see something that you think is incorrect please report it.
  • Special version dependencies are now installed into a directory with that special version in its name. For example, compiler@#head will be installed into ~/.nimble/pkgs/compiler-#head. This reduces the amount of redundant installs. See #88 for more information.
  • External dependencies can now be specified in .nimble files. Nimble doesn't install these, but does instruct the user on how they can be installed. More information about this feature can be found in the readme.
  • Nimble now supports package aliases in the packages.json files.
  • Fixed regression that caused transitive dependencies to not be installed.
  • Fixed problem with install command when a src directory is present in the current directory.
  • Improved quoting of process execution arguments.
  • Many improvements to custom --nimbleDir handling. All commands should now support it correctly.
  • Running nimble -v will no longer read the Nimble config before displaying the version.
  • Refresh command now supports a package list name as argument.
  • Fixes issues with symlinks not being removed correctly.
  • Changed the way the dump command locates the .nimble file.

Full list of issues which have been closed: https://github.com/nim-lang/nimble/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Aissue+closed%3A%222016-10-09+..+2017-01-05%22+

0.7.10 - 09/10/2016

This release includes multiple bug fixes.

  • Reverted patch that breaks binary stubs in Git Bash on Windows.
  • The nimscriptapi.nim file is now statically compiled into the binary. This should fix the "could not find nimscriptapi.nim" errors. The file can still be overriden by placing a file named nimscriptapi.nim inside a nimblepkg directory that is placed alongside the Nimble binary, or by a nimscriptapi.nim file inside ~/.nimble/pkgs/nimble-ver/nimblepkg/. For more information see the code that looks for this file.
  • Nim files can now be imported in .nimble nimscript files. (Issue #186)
  • Requiring a specific git commit hash no longer fails. (Issue #129)
