Hello all! I'm happy to announce that I [just released a new version](https://github.com/dom96/choosenim/releases/tag/v0.8.0) 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](https://github.com/guzba/zippy/issues/31) 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](https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/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](https://github.com/dom96/choosenim/blob/v0.8.0/changelog.markdown#080---02102021). 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](https://github.com/dom96/choosenim/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3AHacktoberfest) in the choosenim repo. I would encourage you to give them a whack :)
