From the Nim 2.0.0 detailed changelog [1]:
- Certain definitions from the default `system` module have been moved to
the following new modules:
- `std/syncio`
- `std/assertions`
- `std/formatfloat`
- `std/objectdollar`
- `std/widestrs`
- `std/typedthreads`
- `std/sysatomics`
In the future, these definitions will be removed from the `system` module,
and their respective modules will have to be imported to use them.
Currently, to make these imports required, the `-d:nimPreviewSlimSystem` option
may be used.
- Enabling `-d:nimPreviewSlimSystem` also removes the following deprecated
symbols in the `system` module:
- Aliases with an `Error` suffix to exception types that have a `Defect` suffix
(see [exceptions](https://nim-lang.github.io/Nim/exceptions.html)):
`ArithmeticError`, `DivByZeroError`, `OverflowError`,
`AccessViolationError`, `AssertionError`, `OutOfMemError`, `IndexError`,
`FieldError`, `RangeError`, `StackOverflowError`, `ReraiseError`,
`ObjectAssignmentError`, `ObjectConversionError`, `FloatingPointError`,
`FloatOverflowError`, `FloatUnderflowError`, `FloatInexactError`,
`DeadThreadError`, `NilAccessError`
- `addQuitProc`, replaced by `exitprocs.addExitProc`
- Legacy unsigned conversion operations: `ze`, `ze64`, `toU8`, `toU16`, `toU32`
- `TaintedString`, formerly a distinct alias to `string`
- `PInt32`, `PInt64`, `PFloat32`, `PFloat64`, aliases to
`ptr int32`, `ptr int64`, `ptr float32`, `ptr float64`
- Enabling `-d:nimPreviewSlimSystem` removes the import of `channels_builtin` in
in the `system` module, which is replaced by `threading/channels`. Use the
command `nimble install threading` and import `threading/channels`.
Closes: 760
