dmd/changelog

This directory will get copied to dlang.org and cleared when master gets merged into stable prior to a new release.

How to add a new changelog entry to the pending changelog?

Create a new file in the changelog folder. It should end with .dd and look similar to a git commit message. The first line represents the title of the change. After an empty line follows the long description:

My fancy title of the new feature

A long description of the new feature in `std.range`.
It can be followed by an example:
-------
import std.range : padLeft, padRight;
import std.algorithm.comparison : equal;

assert([1, 2, 3, 4, 5].padLeft(0, 7).equal([0, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5]));

assert("Hello World!".padRight('!', 15).equal("Hello World!!!!"));
-------
and links to the documentation, e.g. $(REF drop, std, range) or
$(REF_ALTTEXT a custom name for the function, drop, std, range).

Links to the spec can look like this $(LINK2 $(ROOT_DIR)spec/module.html, this)
and of course you can link to other $(LINK2 https://forum.dlang.org/, external resources).

The title can't contain links (it's already one). For more infos, see the Ddoc spec.
