24 December 2024 The Nim Team

The Nim team is happy to announce Nim version 2.0.14, our seventh patch release for Nim 2.0, for our users who haven’t switched yet to Nim 2.2.

Version 2.0.14 contains 40 commits, and it brings several improvements to Nim 2.0.12, released two months ago.

Installing Nim 2.0.14

If you have installed a previous version of Nim using choosenim, getting Nim 2.0.14 is as easy as:

$ choosenim update self
$ choosenim 2.0.14

Make sure that the version of choosenim you have installed is 0.8.5 or higher, otherwise visit choosenim’s repo and see there how to re-install it first, before updating Nim.

Alternatively, you can download Nim 2.0.14 from our nightlies builds.

We would like to remind you about Nim Community Survey.

If you haven’t participated yet, now’s the time. It shouldn’t take more than 5 minutes, and it helps us to make Nim better.
