- `git.nim` has been removed. This module was an artifact from the early days and was renamed to `build.nim` back in v0.2.0.
- Nameless enum values are no longer typed to the made-up enum type name, they are instead typed as `cint` to match the underlying type. This allows using such enums without having to depend on the made-up name which could change if enum ordering changes upstream. [#236][i236] (since v0.6.1)
### New functionality
- `getHeader()` now detects and links against `.lib` files as part of enabling Conan.io. Not all `.lib` files are compatible with MinGW as already stated above but for those that work, this is a required capability.

- `cImport()` can now write the generated wrapper output to a user-defined file with the `nimFile` param. [#127][i127] (since v0.6.1)
- Nimterop now supports anonymous nested structs/unions but it only works correctly for unions when `noHeader` is turned off (the default). This is because Nim does not support nested structs/unions and is unaware of the underlying memory structure. [#237][i237] (since v0.6.1)
### Other improvements
- Generated wrappers no longer depend on nimterop being present - no more `import nimterop/types`. Supporting code is directly included in the wrapper output and only when required. E.g. enum macro is only included if wrapper contains enums. [#125][i125] (since v0.6.1)
