Introduction

Projects

Compiler

  • Add support for coroutines
  • Fix bugs with iterators/generics
  • Fix/Expand Compiler as a Service features

Standard Library

  • Integrate and expand new async io module

  • Add windows support to fsmonitor module

    • Allow the fsmonitor module to work on Windows by using native API's to gather information about changes in monitored files and directories.

  • Revise fsmonitor module API

    • Revise the fsmonitor module api to decouple unix/linux file handle paradigms from the api, allowing easier implementations of native backends. Also integrate the fsmonitor module into the new asynchronous io modules.

  • Add a cross-platform stat()-like proc to os.nim

    • Implement a procedure in os.nim which uses native stat-like calls on Linux, Mac, Windows, and other OS's to gather detailed information about target file system objects. Allow the bypassing of symlinks and hardlinks, where possible.

Tools & Infrastructure

  • Update and refactor nimrod builder
    • Reduce the number of assumptions the nimrod builder makes about its host system, in order to reduce configuration restrictions. Assumptions include location and usage of external tools, such as git.
