## 0.7.4 - 20/10/2020
This is a bug fix release to resolve a regression where a spurious `pkgs`
directory was being created when any choosenim shim was executed.
Once choosenim is upgraded, simply switch Nim versions and the shims will be
regenerated, solving the issue.
## 0.7.2 - 17/10/2020
This is a bug fix release to resolve a regression caused by changes in Nimble
which prevented choosenim from finding the Nimble directory.
## 0.7.0 - 16/10/2020
The major new feature is that all builds are now static. There should be no
runtime dependencies for choosenim anymore.
Changes:
* A critical bug was fixed where choosenim would fail if existng DLLs were present.
* The `update` command will now always change to the newly installed version.
In previous versions this would only happen when the currently selected
channel is updated.
* A new `remove` command is now available.
* The `nim-gdb` utility is now shimmed.
* Various small bug fixes, #203 and #195.
* The `GITHUB_TOKEN` env var will now be used if present for certain actions.
* Better messages when downloading nightlies.
## 0.6.0 - 06/03/2020
The major new feature is default installation of 64-bit Nim
binaries on Windows.
Changes:
* Install latest nightly build of Nim on `choosenim devel` and
`choosenim update devel`
* Install latest devel commit instead of nightlies with the
`--latest` flag
* Git based update for `choosenim update devel --latest` instead
of deleting, downloading and bootstrapping from scratch
* Optionally add `~/.nimble/bin` to PATH on Windows when using the
`--firstInstall` flag
* Fix `choosenim update self` failure on Windows
* Fix crash where shims could not be rewritten when in use
* Fix crash on OSX due to an openssl version conflict

## 0.3.2 - 27/02/2018
