 By default, min should run without issues on any [platform supported by the Nim programming language](https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/blob/devel/lib/system/platforms.nim).

+This is a minor release with some new functionalities and a small breaking change. The main focus is _performance_ and improve overall memory usage.
+
+### BREAKING CHANGES
+
+* The symbol `aes` now requires min to be compiled with `-d:ssl`.
+
+### New Features
+
+* By default, nimble builds are no longer statically linking other libraries.
+* Removed acyclic pragmas and now successfully compiling with `--mm:orc` for better memory management.
+
+### Fixes and Improvements
+
+* Ensured that all the relevant procs are gcsafe.
+* No longer using ref for `MinValue` objects.
+* No longer performing a deep copy when dequoting.
+* Optimized the way debug information is stored to reduce memory usage.
+* Avoiding creating unnecessary scopes when possible (withScope macro already creates a scope).
+* Fixed `setSigil` incorrectly calling `setSymbol`.
+* Improved handling of hash bang.
+* No longer using (unoptimised) tail-recursion for symbol resolution, now doing iterative lookups.
