It seems there is a different raises behaviour for newTerminal()

Example

import terminal

proc test() {.raises:[IOError, ValueError].} =
  setBackgroundColor(stdout, bgRed)

test()

This will compile on Linux, but not on Windows. Error:

C:\Users\deme\repos\getterminalraises.nim(3, 22) templa

Description

Specs are failing in Travis for creating a Redirector using from_controller_action. These tests passed on my local MacBook Pro.

Look into fixing them.

The first step toward windows support could be to build it without the terminal user interface which will never support windows.

For that, one should add a feature toggle that is off on windows builds. If that's not possible, use conditional compilation.

It should be quite obvious for first time users to see some simplest APIs (to compress/uncompress buffer without dealing with any file io). Strangely, lizard has links to file format, but no clues to basic api use (is it in examples, which one is the "hello world"?. I've been using zlib for more than a decade, and I've never needed to know its file format, perhaps same for 90% of its users.

IMO

The instructions are very vague. It's not even clear if this project is self-containing. In eval.sh, there is a parameter for the link to the directory of SkipThoughts implementation. Does it mean SkipThoughts need to be installed separately or it's somewhere in the repo? If it's the former, is that still compatible with the rest of your codebase?

Can you provide more details about the insta

1. GenCodec with CborInput/CborOutput from AVSystems scala-commons.
2. CBORFactory from the jackson-dataformat-cbor library that can be used with the jackson-module-scala library.
