- The `gc` switch has been renamed to `mm` ("memory management") in order to reflect the
reality better. (Nim moved away from all techniques based on "tracing".)
- Nim now supports Nimble version 0.14 which added support for lock-files. This is done by
a simple configuration change setting that you can do yourself too. In `$nim/config/nim.cfg`
replace `pkgs` by `pkgs2`.
- There is a new switch `--nimMainPrefix:prefix` to influence the `NimMain` that the
compiler produces. This is particularly useful for generating static libraries.
