 Changes affecting backwards compatibility

   The ``system``, ``os``, ``osproc`` and ``memfiles`` modules use the wide
   string versions of the WinAPI. Use the ``-d:useWinAnsi`` switch to revert
   back to the old behaviour which uses the Ansi string versions.
-- ``static`` is now a keyword.
+- ``static`` and ``do`` are now keywords.
 - Templates now participate in overloading resolution which can break code that
   uses templates in subtle ways. Use the new ``immediate`` pragma for templates
   to get a template of old behaviour.

 ------------------
 
 - Win64 is now an officially supported target.
+- The Nimrod compiler works on BSD again, but has some issues 
+  as ``os.getAppFilename`` and ``os.getAppDir`` cannot work reliably on BSD.
 - The compiler can detect and evaluate calls that can be evaluated at compile
   time for optimization purposes with the ``--implicitStatic`` command line
   option or pragma.

 ------------------
 
 - Added explicit ``static`` sections for enforced compile time evaluation.
+- Added an alternative notation for lambdas with ``do``.
 - ``addr`` is now treated like a prefix operator syntactically.
 - Added ``global`` pragma that can be used to introduce new global variables
   from within procs.
