New/Changed Features

  • re-implemented internal.monitor in D. Rationalized internal.object

  • Made rdmd's source available through svn, see http://dsource.org/projects/phobos/browser/trunk/tools/rdmd.d
  • Simplified std.algorithm by fusing together higher-order functions taking an alias and their counterparts taking a string
  • Added module std.array containing array operations: insert, erase, and replace
  • Changed the enforce's implementation to generate smaller code per call
  • Changed std.functional.binaryFun to work with strings and function aliases alike
  • In std.getopt, added optChar, assignChar, and endOfOptions, per popular demand :o|
  • In std.math, replaced a bunch of consts with enums
  • In std.numeric, added Don Clugston as author and operated minor documentation fixes
  • Improved std.stdio.chunks to take an iteration tally in addition to the chunk
