8476 :: Choosenim 0.8.0 now available

  Hello all!

  I'm happy to announce that I just released a new version of choosenim. Some of the most significant changes include:

  • No more dependencies on OpenSSL thanks to @treeform's brilliant puppy library.
  • Switched to using @guzba's amazing zippy library for extracting .zip files (we shell out to tar when available still due to this issue and to unxz when we need to extract tar.xz archives).
  • Support for the new build_all bootstrap mechanism so grabbing a copy of Nim 1.6 RC2 should soon be possible (once #18945 is backported).
  • Choosenim isn't statically linked against musl anymore, so if you've experienced SIGILL errors in the past these should hopefully now be fixed.

  For full details have a look at the changelog.

  To update you can run:

  $ choosenim update self
  Run

  Let me know if you run into any issues. Also as an aside, if you are doing Hacktoberfest, I have tagged a few nice issues in the choosenim repo. I would encourage you to give them a whack :)

  After updating choosenim I tried 'choosenim update stable' and got the following message;

  Error: unhandled exception: SSL support is not available. Cannot connect over SSL. Compile with -d:ssl to enable. [HttpRequestError]

  Ahh, I missed that one. I updated the Linux binary, please grab it from here and let me know if it works: https://github.com/dom96/choosenim/releases/download/v0.8.0/choosenim-0.8.0_linux_amd64

  Thanks for pasting that error @Fire.

  Looking at it, the relevant part is:

  
  /Users/ramirosenstock/.choosenim/toolchains/nim-#version-1-6/config/nim.cfg(51, 1) Error: invalid package name: /Users/ramirosenstock/.nimble/pkgs/noise-0.1.4-caf4bfe0b026d5fcb5814e95c41a382010b69161
  Run

  You must have used the new Nimble at some point which breaks the package directory for old Nim compilers, you'll need to clear the .nimble directory to fix it.

  Not a big deal but choosenim 0.8.0 by default installed non executable binary in $HOME/.choosenim/toolschains/nim-#devel/bin

  Getting this behaviour with 0.8.2 on Windows. I've tried clearing out C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Temp\choosenim-extraction but it gives the same error afterwards.
