Change Log

Version D 2.062 Feb 18, 2013

Language Changes

  • typeof() change:

    • As a result of fixing Bugzilla 6408, the usage of typeof() and indexing may require changes to user code:

    template ElementTypeOf(T)
{
    alias typeof(T[0]) ElementTypeOf;
}

void main()
{
    // worked in 2.061 due to a bug
    static assert(is(ElementTypeOf!(int[]) == int));
}

    The expression in typeof(T[0]) used to be wrongly interpreted as the element type of T, however in v2.062 it is interpreted as a static array of element T with length 0. To work around this the user can either use a trait from the standard library, or use the .init property of a type for arbitrary expressions:

    import std.range;

template ElementTypeOf(T)
{
    // use T.init
    alias typeof(T.init[0]) ElementTypeOf;
}

void main()
{
    // use std.range.ElementType
    static assert(is(ElementType!(int[]) == int));

    // use custom template after fixing its code
    static assert(is(ElementTypeOf!(int[]) == int));
}
  • alias syntax change:

    • The newly introduced "alias foo = int" syntax is not usable with subtyping. This is to prevent confusion from a possible future syntax which would enable aliasing of super constructors. For now, the existing alias syntax can be used:

    struct S
{
    int x;
    // alias this = x;  // error
    alias x this;
}

    In the upcoming release (v2.063) a new syntax will be introduced:

    struct S
{
    int x;
    alias this : x;  // new feature in upcoming 2.063
}

Version D 2.061 Jan 1, 2013

New/Changed Features

  • DMD now shows deprecated features as warnings by default (a message is displayed but compilation is not halted anymore). There are also 2 new compiler flags: -de, to get the old default behaviour (using deprecated features is an error) and -dw, to explicitly enable the new default behaviour (just warn). This makes it possible to add -de in the configuration file to get the old default and still be able to override that default by using -dw when compiling. The -d flag stays the same (silently ignore deprecated features).
  • Complete list of New/Changed Features
Version D 2.060 Aug 2, 2012

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

Version D 2.059 Apr 12, 2012

New/Changed Features

  • Add predefined Ddoc macro SRCFILENAME
  • Changed lexer to support # as a token, preserving #line's original behavior
  • added AES, PCLMULQDQ, RDRAND, AVX, VAES, VPCLMULQDQ, FMA, FP16C to core.cpuid
  • Bugzilla 435: Constructors should be templatized
  • Bugzilla 2367: Overloading error with string literals
  • Bugzilla 3382: [tdpl] Implement uniform function call syntax
  • Bugzilla 4536: Typetuples (T...) should have an .init member
  • Bugzilla 5525: Eponymous templates should allow for overloaded eponymous members
  • Bugzilla 7105: relax inout rules
  • Bugzilla 7833: Changelog should clearly mention struct literal/opCmp/opEquals/toHash changes
  • Strive to make toHash, toString, opEquals and opCmp functions pure, nothrow, const and @safe. Soon, this will become a requirement.
  • The deprecated std.date, std.dateparse, and std.gregorian modules have been removed. Please use std.datetime instead.
  • Several deprecated functions in std.file have been removed.
  • The old functions in std.path which were scheduled for deprecation have now been deprecated. Please use the new ones which were introduced in 2.055. However, note that curdir and pardir do not have replacements, because they're "." and ".." respectively on all OSes so variables for them were seen as unnecessary. Also, one major change to note about the new std.path functions is that when operating on extensions, they expect "." to be part of the extension whereas the old ones did not (e.g. "file.txt".extension == ".txt" whereas "file.txt".getExt() == "txt").
  • The version of std.exception.enforceEx which was scheduled for deprecation has been deprecated. Please use the version which takes exceptions which can be constructed with new E(msg, file, line) (rather than just new E(msg) as the old version did). That way, exceptions constructed with enforceEx will give the file and line number where enforceEx was called.
  • Get rid of Win9x support.
  • std.typecons: Added Proxy mixin template.
  • std.format: Added documentation about compound format specifier.

  • Add warning about switch case fallthrough
  • Add warning about calling pure nothrow functions and ignoring the result
  • Allow associative arrays with key of type bool

Version D 2.052 Feb 17, 2011

New/Changed Features

  • 64 bit support for Linux
  • Implemented exception chaining, as described in TDPL. Currently Windows-only.
  • std.random: Added Xorshift random generator
  • Support HTML5 entities
  • Added std.datetime for handling dates and times. std.date and std.gregorian are now scheduled for deprecation. Any functions in other modules of Phobos which used std.date.d_time have been changed to use std.datetime.SysTime or are scheduled for deprecation with new functions with the same functionality added which use SysTime (done in cases where switching existing functions to use SysTime would have broken code). New code should use std.datetime instead of std.date.
  • Various functions in std.file were renamed to match Phobos' naming conventions (e.g. isFile instead of isfile). The old names are aliased and scheduled for deprecation.

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

  • Added Mac OSX support.
  • Separated bin and lib directories into windows, linux, and osx.
  • No longer need to download dmc to use the windows version.

Bugs Fixed

Version D 2.023 Jan 2, 2009

New/Changed Features

  • Improved speed of long division.
  • Optimizer now takes advantage of immutable and pure.
  • Added predefined version D_Ddoc which is predefined when -D switch is thrown.
  • the type of a string literal is now invariant(char)[] rather than invariant(char)[length_of_string]. It is still implicitly convertible to the latter. This is intended to reduce template instantiation bloat.
  • Undid fix for Bugzilla 2500, as the fix was arguably worse than the bug.

  • extern __thread now works on Linux.
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 1797: Documentation comments - ///
  • Bugzilla 2428: Accessing item in enum'd array produced compiler error

  • 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.

New/Changed Features

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

Version D 2.014 May 16, 2008

New/Changed Features

  • Added -man switch to browse manual.
  • Added -lib switch to generate library files. Also causes multiple object files to be generated from one source module.
  • When generating an executable file, only one object file is now generated containing all the modules that were compiled, rather than one object file per module.
  • Rewrote the rdmd utility to properly track dependencies and command-line compiler options (currently only working under Linux).
  • Changed the Phobos makefile linux.mak to take advantage of the new -lib feature. Improved full build speed by 3x.
  • std.algorithm: Changed the map() function so that it deduces the return type. Also map can be now curried.
  • std.contracts: Added file and line information to enforce. Added errnoEnforce that formats the error message according to errno. Added corresponding ErrnoException class.
  • std.conv: Made std.to curryable. Changed std.to to throw exception when object-to-object cast fails. Eliminated some superfluous printfs.
  • std.encoding: Added new functions encodedLength(dchar) and encode(dchar, ref E[])
  • std.encoding: Got rid of types Utf8, Utf16, Utf32, Ascii, Latin1, Windows1252. Introduced types AsciiChar, AsciiString, Latin1Char, Latin1String, Windows1252Char, Windows1252String.
  • std.encoding: For now commented out std.encoding.to.
  • std.file: Changed Boolean function signatures (e.g. exists) to return bool instead of int. Got rid of some gotos. Added the readText, lastModified, mkdirRecurse, and rmdirRecurse functions.
  • std.functional: Improved compose so it accepts an unbounded number of functions. Added the pipe function.
  • std.getopt: Added new option stopOnFirstNonOption. Also automatically expand dubious option groups with embedded spaces in them (useful for shebang scripts)
  • std.math: improved integral powers
  • std.md5: Improved signature of sum so it takes multiple arrays. Added getDigestString.
  • std.path: changed signatures of test functions from bool to int. Implemented rel2abs for Windows. Improved join so that it accepts multiple paths. Got rid of some gotos with the help of scope statements.
