-  2015-xx-xx Version 0.11.4 released
 ==================================
 
+The Nim community of developers is proud to announce the new version of the
+Nim compiler. This has been a long time coming as the last release has been
+made over 5 months ago!
+
+This release includes some changes which affect backwards compatibility,
+one major change is that now the hash table ``[]`` operators now raise a
+``KeyError`` exception when the key does not exist.
+
+Some of the more exciting new features include: the ability to unpack tuples
+in any assignment context, the introduction of `NimScript <docs/nims.html>`_,
+and improvements to the type inference of lambdas.
+
+There are of course many many many bug fixes included with this release.
+We are getting closer and closer to a 1.0 release and are hoping that only
+a few 0.x releases will be necessary before we are happy to release version 1.0.
+
+As always you can download the latest version of Nim from the
+`downloads <downloads.html>`_ page.
+
+For a more detailed list of changes look below. Some of the upcoming breaking
+changes are also documented in this forum
+`thread <http://forum.nim-lang.org/t/1708>`_.
