Repository information

This repository has two main branches: master and stable.

The master branch is...

  • default
  • bleeding edge
  • tested to compile with a pinned (close to HEAD) commit of Nim

The stable branch is...

  • installed by koch tools/koch nimble
  • relatively stable
  • should compile with Nim HEAD as well as the latest Nim version

Note: The travis build only tests whether Nimble works with the latest Nim version.

A new Nim release (via koch xz) will always bundle the stable branch.
