  Q: If you go to https://nimble.directory/pkg/sdl2nim, you'll see that latest version is 2.0.9.1. Why isn't it installed by default?

  Try

  
  nimble install sdl2_nim@#head
  Run

  Because that package may have been tagged, so that odd .9 may indicate latest dev version. Just a guess.

  2.0.9.1 is git tag, 2.0.8.0 is version specified in nimble file. author just forgot to bump version number. nimble fetches latest tag by default anyway.
