- Some feedback on the release notes:
- The using statement now means something completely different. You can use the new experimental this pragma to achieve a similar effect to what the old using statement tried to achieve.
- There's no explanation of what the new using statement does. (Or what the old one did, either!)
- The project directory is not added to the search path automatically anymore. Add this line to your project's config to get back the old behaviour: --path:"$projectdir". (Do not replace $projectdir by the project's directory!
- If you're not supposed to replace $projectdir with the project's directory, then why it is called $projectdir? And what is a project directory anyway -- can you link to some documentation about the build process from here?
- A generic "sink operator" written as &= has been added to the system and the net modules.
- What does a generic sink operator do? If it had to be put in quotation marks, it probably deserves a longer explanation.
- Overall, the notes read like they are mainly written for "insiders" -- as a casual reader, it is hard to understand what many of these changes mean. Links to further documentation would help.
- This isn't meant to detract from the good work that the Nim team has done. If attracting new users is a goal, then polishing these notes
