+title: "Nim versions 2.2.4 and 2.0.16 released"
+author: The Nim Team
+---
+
+The Nim Team is happy to announce two releases:
+- version 2.2.4, a second patch release for the latest stable version
+- version 2.0.16, an eight patch release for Nim 2.0
+
+
+
+Nim v2.2.4 comes two and a half months after the v2.2.2 release and it contains [108 commits](https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/compare/v2.2.2...v2.2.4) bringing bugfixes and improvements.
+
+If you're still using Nim v2.0, the v2.0.16 release brings [31 commits](https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/compare/v2.0.14...v2.0.16) with bugfixes.
+But we would encourage you to switch to Nim v2.2, as it brings significant improvements to the ORC memory management and to the language and the compiler overall.\
+Here is the [version 2.2 release article](https://nim-lang.org/blog/2024/10/02/nim-220-2010.html), showing the improvements available in Nim 2.2.
+
+The Nim 2.2.4 changelog is available [here](https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/blob/v2.2.4/changelog.md).
+
+
+
+
+
+## Installing Nim 2.2.4
+
+
+Check out if the package manager of your OS already ships version 2.2.4 or
+install it as described [here](https://nim-lang.org/install.html).
+
+If you have installed a previous version of Nim using `choosenim`,
+getting Nim 2.2.4 is as easy as:
+
+```bash
+$ choosenim update self
+$ choosenim update stable
+```
+
+**NOTE:** Make sure that the version of choosenim you have installed is 0.8.5 or higher, otherwise visit [choosenim's repo](https://github.com/nim-lang/choosenim) and see there how to re-install it first, before updating Nim.
+
+Alternatively, you can download Nim 2.2.4 from
+[our nightlies builds](https://github.com/nim-lang/nightlies/releases/tag/2025-04-22-version-2-2-f7145dd26efeeeb6eeae6fff649db244d81b212d).
