Version D 2.029 Apr 19, 2009

#### New/Changed Phobos

- `std.algorithm`
  - Everything converted to ranges. Big disruption. Algorithms added.
- `std.array`
  - Range primitives for arrays
  - Appender template
  - insert, replace functions
- `std.bitmanip`
  - Bitfields of length 0 are defined to be always 0.
  - The read functions for bitfields are const.
- `std.contracts`
  - enforce accepts const(char)[] instead of string
  - Added enforce overload that invokes a delegate on failure
  - Added assumeSorted template
  - Added structuralCast that implements, well, structural casting (incomplete).
- `std.conv`
  - Rewrote conversions with constrained templates.
  - Added text() function that transforms everything into text.
- `std.date`
  - Added a benchmark function that allows for simple timing measurements.
- `std.file`
  - read, write, append, rename, remove, getSize, getTimes, getAttributes, isfile, isdir, chdir, mkdir, mkdirRecurse, rmdir, listdir, copy, take filename(s) by "in char[]"
  - Added function readText that reads and validates a text file
  - Added function slurp that reads a file into an array of tuples. Example:

        auto a = slurp!(int, double)("filename", "%s, %s");

    Each line in the file looks like e.g. "1, 2.3". slurp returns an array of Tuple!(int, double) with the parsed content.
- `std.format`
  - Added vector parsing and printing with the specifier "%()". For example, writefln("[%(s; )]", [1, 2, 3][]) writes "[1; 2; 3]". This support is experimental and may be changed in the future.
  - Added a formattedRead function (i.e., scanf that doesn't suck). The implementation is incomplete but common cases are supported.
- `std.functional`
  - Improved error messages
  - Added configurable parameter names for functions as strings
  - Added Adjoin template
- `std.getopt`
  - Added support for parameterless delegates
- `std.math`
  - Intrinsics std.math.yl2x and yl2xp1 added. Improves performance of std.math.log() and similar functions (and they are now pure nothrow).
- `std.mmfile`
  - Minor cosmetic changes
- `std.numeric`
  - Added type CustomFloat that allows defining specialized floating-point numbers (e.g. 16-bit floats, positive floats etc.)
  - Added FPTemporary as the best type to store temporary values.
  - Templatized oppositeSigns
  - Added Euclidean distance
  - Added dotProduct
  - Added cosineSimilarity
  - Added normalize
  - Added string kernel functions gapWeightedSimilarity, gapWeightedSimilarityNormalized, gapWeightedSimilarityIncremental.
- `std.outbuffer`
  - Added a few missing overloads of write()
- `std.path`
  - getDrive now works with all string types
  - isabs accepts in char[]
  - join accepts variadic in char[]
  - fnmatch works with in char[]
- `std.random`
  - Added RandomCover that covers a given range in a random manner
  - Eliminated the old-fashioned random functions
  - Defined a default random object that simplifies calls to the random functions
  - Changed generators to obey the range interface. So now you can write:

        Random r;
        foreach (n; take(100, uniform(0, 100))) { ... }

- `std.range (new file)`
  - Range manipulation stuff.
- `std.regex (new file)`
  - Regular expression library with wide char support, simplified interface, better speed etc.
- `std.regexp`
  - Scheduled for deprecation. Use std.regex instead.
- `std.stdio`
  - Major breaking changes: introduced the File struct. Now stdin, stdout, stderr are instances of the File struct.
  - Due to bugs in the compiler, the copy constructor and destructor of File are commented out. Walter will look into fixing the issues soon. File should work fine, but you need to close it manually.
  - A byRecord iteration mode makes it pretty easy to iterate structured text files.
  - writef and writefln now require a string as their first argument.
- `std.string`
  - strip, stripl, stripr, startsWith, endsWith now work with any string type
- `std.typecons`
  - Added constructors, assignment operator, length, toString, and slice to Tuple.
- `std.utf`
  - toUTF16z accepts in char[]
- `std.variant`
  - Added support for Variants that contain vectors and hashes of themselves
- `std.c.stdio`
  - Added fopen64 and friends

Version D 2.021 Nov 25, 2008

#### New/Changed Features

- Added -safe switch and `module(system) Identifier;` syntax.
- Added range support to foreach statement.
- scope parameter storage class means the parameter will not 'escape' the scope of the function invocation. Using this for delegate parameters will prevent some closure allocations by the calling function.
- The lazy storage class now implies scope so that lazy arguments won't trigger a heap allocated closure.
- The 'this' parameter to struct member functions is now a reference type, rather than a pointer. This breaks existing code.
- More changes to druntime:

  from | to
  --- | ---
  `OutOfMemoryException` | `OutOfMemoryError`
  `SwitchException` | `SwitchError`
  `HiddenFuncException` | `HiddenFuncError`
  `ArrayBoundsException` | `RangeError`
  `AssertException` | `AssertError`
  `FinalizeException` | `FinalizeError`
  `onArrayBoundsError` | `onRangeError`
  `stdc.*` | `core.stdc.*`
  `sys.*` | `core.sys.*`

- Added core.runtime.loadLibrary() as an experimental feature for loading dynamic libraries (Win32 only at the moment).
- Added core.runtime.unloadLibrary() as an experimental feature for unloading dynamic libraries previously loaded by loadLibrary().
- core.thread.sleep() accepts a long integer specifying the sleep interval in 100 nanosecond intervals (the previous release notes said this was a float, IIRC).
- It is no longer necessary to link in druntime separately, it is inserted into libphobos2.a.

#### Bugs Fixed

- Bugzilla 313: Fully qualified names bypass private imports
- Bugzilla 920: SPEC: Auto classes referenced where scope should be used
- Bugzilla 929: Resizing array of associative arrays (uint[char[]][]) causes infinite loop / hang
- Bugzilla 1372: Compiler accepts pragma(msg,)
- Bugzilla 1610: Enum.stringof is int, not the name of the enum
- Bugzilla 1663: pragma(lib, "") don't work on linux

- Bugzilla 2470: Cannot build libraries from other libraries
- unittest functions now always use D linkage

Version D 2.020 Oct 20, 2008

#### New/Changed Features

- Improved performance of AAs by rebalancing trees when rehashing.
- immutable now is implemented.
- Bugzilla 2344: Two wrong lookups for array functions
- Bugzilla 2345: Return by reference should be allowed
- `Posix` is now a predefined identifier when compiling under Linux
- Based on Sean Kelly's hard work, Phobos has been split into two libraries, druntime.lib and phobos.lib. This will enable better integration with Tango. The user source code changes are:

  from | to
  --- | ---
  `bit` | `bool`
  `_d_OutOfMemory()` | `onOutOfMemoryError()`
  `import std.asserterror;` | `import core.exception;`
  `import std.hiddenfunc;` | `import core.exception;`
  `import std.switcherr;` | `import core.exception;`
  `import std.array;` | `import core.exception;`
  `import std.outofmemory;` | `import core.exception;`
  `import std.gc;` | `import core.memory;`
  `import std.thread;` | `import core.thread;`
  `SwitchError` | `SwitchException`
  `AssertError` | `AssertException`
  `HiddenFuncError` | `HiddenFuncException`
  `ArrayBoundsError` | `ArrayBoundsException`
  `std.gc.fullCollect()` | `GC.collect()`
  `std.gc.*()` | `memory.gc_*()`
  `_moduleUnitTests()` | `import runtime; runModuleUnitTests()`
  `printf` | add `import std.c.stdio;`

  Changes to thread:
  - The thread handle isn't exposed to the user. This can always be obtained using the appropriate OS calls from within the thread.
  - There is no druntime equivalent for Thread.pause() and Thread.resume(). The closest is thread_suspendAll() and thread_resumeAll()--extern (C) calls meant for use by the GC.
  - Thread.wait() is renamed to Thread.join().
  - Sleep functionality is available as Thread.sleep(double), where the parameter represents the number of seconds to sleep (fractional values accepted, obviously).
  This is a big change, and expect some problems for a release or two with this.

- std.math:
  - Support for different CPU IEEE 'real' formats: 64-bit, 80-bit and 128-bit (quadruple) reals, both BigEndian and LittleEndian; partial support for non-IEEE 'doubledouble' reals.
