New/Changed Features

  • std.string: The current implementations of std.string.format and string.sformat are scheduled to be replaced in November 2012 with improved implementations which conform to writef. In some, rare cases, this will break code. Please see the documentation for std.string.format and std.string.sformat for details.
  • std.bitmanip: Added peek, read, write, and append for converting ranges of bytes to and from integral types.
  • std.container: Added DList, which is an implementation of a doubly-linked list.
  • Added std.file.tempDir which returns the path to a directory where a program can put temporary files.
  • std.process: Added escapeShellCommand, escapeShellFileName, and escapeWindowsArgument. Documented browse function.
  • std.range: Added RefRange, which effectively makes it possible to pass a range by reference.
  • std.traits: Added KeyType, ValueType, isScalarType, isBasicType, and SetFunctionAttributes templates.
  • std.utf: Added overload of codeLength which operates on a string.
  • std.traits: areAllSafe has been scheduled for deprecation. Please use allSatisfy(isSafe, ...) instead.
  • clear has been renamed to destroy, and clear (as an alias to destroy) has been scheduled for deprpecation.
  • Capitalized std.traits.pointerTarget to PointerTarget. Old one is scheduled for deprecation.
  • std.algorithm.indexOf - which was scheduled for deprecation - has been deprecated (it was easily confused with std.string.indexOf). Please use countUntil instead.
  • std.cpuid - which was scheduled for deprecation - has been deprecated. Please use core.cpuid instead.
  • std.conv.ConvError and ConvOverflowException - which were scheduled for deprecation - have been deprecated. Please catch ConvException and ConvOverflowException instead.
  • The overloads of std.conv.to which were scheduled for deprecation because formattedWrite replaced them have now been deprecated. Please use std.format.formattedWrite instead.
  • The overload of std.exception.enforce which takes the file and line number as template arguments has been scheduled for deprecation (as it causes unnecessary template bloat). Please use the overload which takes them as function arguments instead. This will have no effect on any calls to enforce which do not explicitly pass the file or line number.
  • std.format.FormatError - which was scheduled for deprecation - has been deprecated. Please catch FormatException instead.
  • std.file.listDir has been deprecated. Please use std.file.dirEntries instead.
  • std.range.replicate - which was scheduled for deprecation - has been deprecated. Please use repeat instead.
  • std.range.SortedRange.canFind - which was scheduled for deprecation - has been deprecated. Please use SortedRange.contains instead.
  • std.socket: timeval and linger - which were scheduled for deprecation - have been deprecated. Please use TimeVal and Linger.
  • std.stdio.isStreamingDevice has been scheduled for deprecation. Please use isFileHandle instead.
  • The deprecated std.typecons.defineEnum has been removed.
  • UtfException - which was scheduled for deprecation - has been deprecated. Please use UTFException instead.
  • The deprecated overloads of std.array.insert and std.array.replace have been removed. Please use insertInPlace and replaceInPlace instead.
  • The deprecated toISOExtendedString and fromISOExtendedString functions in std.datetime have been removed. Please use toISOExtString and fromISOExtString instead.
  • The deprecated std.file.getTimesPosix has been removed. Please use std.file.getTimes instead.
  • The deprecated overloads of isFile, isDir, and isSymLink in std.file which took uint have been removed. Please use attrIsFile, attrIsDir, and attrIsSymlink instead.
  • The deprecated std.file.DirEntry.timeStatusChanged has been removed. Please use std.file.DirEntry.attributes to get at that information if you need it.
  • The deprecated std.contracts module has been removed. Please use std.exception instead.
  • The deprecated std.arg, std.bind, and std.loader modules have been removed.
  • Added TypeInfo.rtInfo property to get library defined runtime info.
  • Added front end support for AVX 256 bit SIMD instructions.
  • Default arguments and parameter identifiers (if any) are added to the tuple generated from IsExpression's __parameters case.
  • Changed the way the align attribute works, to make it more usable and comprehensible. Default alignment has not changed.
  • The align attribute now accepts arbitrary powers of two. This affects layout of static data, too. Such effects are dependent on limitations of the object file format - currently Win32 programs cannot align on larger than 16 byte boundaries.
  • HTML input file support completely removed.
  • Bugzilla 3150: cast from dynamic array to ulong is allowed
  • Bugzilla 3866: anonymous delegate with default parameters cross-talks to another anonymous delegate
  • Bugzilla 4174: Template interface functions not allowed, making operator overloads difficult
