nimforum mirror - Nim 1.2.10 RC and 1.4.4 RC

miran (orginal) [2021-02-10T08:54:41+01:00] view original

We are preparing a double release, and we have created release candidates for each version:

1.2.x: https://github.com/nim-lang/nightlies/releases/tag/2021-02-10-version-1-2-c18726f4a18c045dd0d1793018a5d77141bc004e

1.4.x: https://github.com/nim-lang/nightlies/releases/tag/2021-02-10-version-1-4-a263e9aae0ec8a6f05ae20aa66596a37b3827e93

We would like for you to give them a try and report any encountered regressions on our issue tracker: https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/issues

This fixes most critical security issues that we are aware of and ships the latest Nimble version which also contains security related bugfixes. In particular the SSL certificate handling was changed (and is now also enabled on Windows!), we're most interested in feedback wrt Nim's -d:ssl switch (httpclient, httpserver).

So this is why I can't use nimble in Azure Pipelines Windows anymore? https://dev.azure.com/numforge/Constantine/_build/results?buildId=1147&view=logs&j=446b84e4-46a9-55b8-310a-38ab40394f90&t=46d73a59-9070-527b-8145-1e6769e3c989&l=23

Yes. I wonder why though... if Nimble can find the OpenSSL DLLs it can also find the certificates, this is how we designed it. How do build/install Nim on the CI?

I use koch https://github.com/mratsim/constantine/blob/master/azure-pipelines.yml#L175-L184

Here I use Windows 10 and after this commit, I need to keep a cacert.pem in some folder that is part of Windows %PATH for nimble to work correctly or any other program that uses ssl.

If the Windows CI does not use dlls.zip nor windeps.zip, the script should contain a line like


bitsadmin.exe /rawreturn /transfer "JobName" /priority FOREGROUND https://curl.se/ca/cacert.pem ##vso[task.prependpath]$pwd\NimBinaries\nim-$(CHANNEL)\bin\cacert.pem

mratsim (orginal) [2021-02-10T22:22:39+01:00] view original

The line was:


bitsadmin.exe /rawreturn /transfer "cURL-certicates" /priority FOREGROUND https://curl.se/ca/cacert.pem $pwd\NimBinaries\nim-$(CHANNEL)\bin\cacert.pem

without the ##vso[task.prependpath]

I pin Nim stable instead of devel in the same PR so confirmation will be when 1.4.4 is deployed.

When can we expect a non RC release?

timothee (orginal) [2021-02-18T02:46:02+01:00] view original

how about releasing RC candidates with odd numbers, eg: 1.4.2 is a stable release 1.4.3 is a RC candidate for 1.4.4

(if needed, you could even have`1.4.3.1`, 1.4.3.3 but that's not actually needed for this proposal)

Araq (orginal) [2021-02-18T16:26:25+01:00] view original

Well, that is what we're doing, no?

miran (orginal) [2021-02-19T07:21:19+01:00] view original

When can we expect a non RC release?

Start of the next week.

We have new RCs, which if no regressions are reported will become the official releases:

1.2.x: https://github.com/nim-lang/nightlies/releases/tag/2021-02-18-version-1-2-a48abc262c843ffacd59d5a412313590e8e319f7

1.4.x: https://github.com/nim-lang/nightlies/releases/tag/2021-02-19-version-1-4-a154acda854ca89fa94e7cabfac2bb4219bfb5de

We would appreciate your (plural) feedback! (Yes, even "everything works fine" :))

Is there a way to test them with choosenim?

gemath (orginal) [2021-02-19T11:10:30+01:00] view original

There are branches named version-1-4 and version-1-2 IIRC, they may be the closest thing. choosenim #version-1-<minor> should work.
