# Nimble changelog
## 0.8.0 - 01/01/2017
This is a large release containing multiple new features and many bug fixes.
* Implemented a completely new output system.
* Supports different message types and priorities. Each is differently
encoded using a color and a brightness.
* The amount of messages shown can be changed by using the new ``--verbose``
and ``--debug`` flags, by default only high priority messages are shown.
* Duplicate warnings are filtered out to prevent too much noise.
* Package namespaces are now validated. You will see a warning whenever an
incorrectly namespaced package is read by Nimble, this can occur either
during installation or when the installed package database is being loaded.
The namespacing rules are described in Nimble's
[readme](https://github.com/nim-lang/nimble#libraries).
**Consider these warnings to be unstable, if you see something that you
think is incorrect please report it**.
* Special version dependencies are now installed into a directory with that
special version in its name. For example, ``compiler@#head`` will be installed
into ``~/.nimble/pkgs/compiler-#head``. This reduces the amount of redundant
installs. See [#88](https://github.com/nim-lang/nimble/issues/88) for
more information.
* Nimble now supports package aliases in the packages.json files.
* Fixed regression that caused transitive dependencies to not be installed.
* Fixed problem with ``install`` command when a ``src`` directory is present
in the current directory.
* Improved quoting of process execution arguments.
* Many improvements to custom ``--nimbleDir`` handling. All commands should now
support it correctly.
* Running ``nimble -v`` will no longer read the Nimble config before displaying
the version.
* Refresh command now supports a package list name as argument.
* Fixes issues with symlinks not being removed correctly.
* Changed the way the ``dump`` command locates the .nimble file.
