  • better handling of antivirus false positives.

0.7.4 - 20/10/2020

This is a bug fix release to resolve a regression where a spurious pkgs directory was being created when any choosenim shim was executed.

Once choosenim is upgraded, simply switch Nim versions and the shims will be regenerated, solving the issue.

0.7.2 - 17/10/2020

This is a bug fix release to resolve a regression caused by changes in Nimble which prevented choosenim from finding the Nimble directory.

0.7.0 - 16/10/2020

The major new feature is that all builds are now static. There should be no runtime dependencies for choosenim anymore.

Changes:

  • A critical bug was fixed where choosenim would fail if existng DLLs were present.
  • The update command will now always change to the newly installed version. In previous versions this would only happen when the currently selected channel is updated.
  • A new remove command is now available.
  • The nim-gdb utility is now shimmed.
  • Various small bug fixes, #203 and #195.
  • The GITHUB_TOKEN env var will now be used if present for certain actions.
  • Better messages when downloading nightlies.

0.6.0 - 06/03/2020

The major new feature is default installation of 64-bit Nim binaries on Windows.

Changes:

  • Install latest nightly build of Nim on choosenim devel and choosenim update devel
  • Install latest devel commit instead of nightlies with the --latest flag
  • Git based update for choosenim update devel --latest instead of deleting, downloading and bootstrapping from scratch
  • Optionally add ~/.nimble/bin to PATH on Windows when using the --firstInstall flag
  • Fix choosenim update self failure on Windows
  • Fix crash where shims could not be rewritten when in use
  • Fix crash on OSX due to an openssl version conflict
