Version 0.48.0 released

Published on: 2026-06-03

This is a minor release with some new functionalities and a small breaking change. The main focus is performance and improve overall memory usage.

BREAKING CHANGES

• The symbol aes now requires min to be compiled with -d:ssl.

New Features

• By default, nimble builds are no longer statically linking other libraries.
• Removed acyclic pragmas and now successfully compiling with --mm:orc for better memory management.

Fixes and Improvements

• Ensured that all the relevant procs are gcsafe.
• No longer using ref for MinValue objects.
• No longer performing a deep copy when dequoting.
• Optimized the way debug information is stored to reduce memory usage.
• Avoiding creating unnecessary scopes when possible (withScope macro already creates a scope).
• Fixed setSigil incorrectly calling setSymbol.
• Improved handling of hash bang.
• No longer using (unoptimised) tail-recursion for symbol resolution, now doing iterative lookups.
