   Changes affecting backwards compatibility
   -----------------------------------------
 
+  - **The language has been renamed from Nimrod to Nim.** The name of the

   - ``system.fileHandle`` has been renamed to ``system.getFileHandle`` to
     prevent name conflicts with the new type ``FileHandle``.
