Nim 2.0.8 released with enhanced stability, GCC14 support, and performance optimizations

Nim has rolled out version 2.0.8 of its statically typed compiled systems programming language. This update, though modest with only 20 commits, introduces significant improvements over the recent 2.0.6 release.

Key enhancements include increased stability of Nim’s allocator when using --threads:on, better support for gcc14, and optimized setLen(0) for uninitialized strings and sequences. Additionally, the move operation sees optimization when used with --mm:refc. The release also encompasses various minor enhancements and several bug fixes, further refining the language's performance and reliability.
