Versions 2.0.4 and 1.6.20 released
16 April 2024 The Nim Team
The Nim team is happy to announce two releases:
the latest Nim, version 2.0.4
LTS release, version 1.6.20
For the majority of our users, v2.0.4 contains 23 commits and brings bugfixes \
and improvements to Nim 2.0.2, released four months ago.
For those users who haven’t switched to Nim v2.0 yet, we have released the \
ninth patch release for Nim 1.6.x. It is a small release with 13 commits.
