  Do you mean 1.6.5 ?

• Clonk (orginal) [2022-05-02T15:34:49+02:00] view original

  Nim versioning is using even number for release and odd number for devel version. This is why the release are 1.0 -> 1.2.0 -> 1.2.2 -> 1.2.4 etc. -> 1.4.0 -> 1.4.2 -> 1.4.4 etc..

  So the release candidate of 1.6.6 is 1.6.5.

  Thanks for the report!

  I've pushed the fix. You can already try it with choosenim (use the same commands as described above), and there will be a new release candidate tomorrow morning available for download from our nightlies repo.
