8008 :: Release candidates for 1.4.8 and 1.2.14

• miran (orginal) [2021-05-21T11:11:33+02:00] view original

  The release candidates for new Nim versions 1.4.8 and 1.2.14 are out.

  Based on our limited testing, this should fix the antivirus problem on Windows encountered with Nim 1.4.6, but we would like you to try it yourself too and report back.

  • Nim 1.4.7: link
  • Nim 1.2.13: link

  If you use choosenim, trying out the release candidate is as easy as choosenim #version-1-4.

  ---

  Please try them out and report if you encounter any regression (not just antivirus-related).

  🥳 on my windows 10 with a stock Windows Security active, I succesfully upgraded to the release candidate with the choosenim command reported above (nim --version confirms I am on 1.4.7) and run a quick scan of my antivirus and it seems all good! (I did have to downgrade from 1.4.6 to 1.4.4 because antivirus was going crazy).

  What was the solution to the antivirus madness?

  Installed 1.4.7 via choosenim and so far so good. No issues with Windows Security.

  Changelog: ORC bugfixes.

  Moved to GCC version 11 to silence the antivir software.

  Dont want to rain on your parade guys... but tried to make installation on a new machine of the latest nim with choosenim 0.7.4 (and after failed attempt with 0.6) and the windows defender still blocks nimble.exe, claiming that it contains a virus Trojan:Win32/Wacatac.B!ml. And even if you unblock it - installation is already incomplete and if you delete the created directories and restart installation windows blocks it again(((

  I still have the issue with Defender. nimble, nimgrep and vccexe flagged as Win32/Uwamson.A!ml. I ended up building nim from source (using clang 12) which was easy (kudos on that one). Sorry I can't provide any useful information.

  On the plus side, building from source demonstrate that nim compilation approach is really fast :)
