overlap: nested functions min() and max() are ad-hoc workaround to make the function pure nothrow.
front(), back(), popFront() and popBack() depend on std.utf, and they are unchanged for now.
It's not possible to index into void[] arrays, which means that they
cannot be ranges. Therefore, I've added template constraints to
front(), back(), popFront(), and popBack() in std.array that prevents
them from being instantiated with void[].
Removed buffer arg from std.xml.encode since most of the time the data is string data, and the buffer was defined as the same type.
Fixed std.format unittests to not use string-based appenders, since they now cannot be rewritten.
With this fix, Appender and builtin appending should both be callable on the same data without corruption, of course using the builtin append on data held
by an Appender will reallocate.
std.algorithm: defined move with one argument; levenshtein distance generalized to with all forward ranges; take now has swapped arguments
std.array: empty for arrays is now a @property; front and back for a string and wstring automatically decodes the first/last character; popFront, popBack for string and wstring obey the UTF stride
std.conv: changed the default array formatting from "[a, b, c]" to "a b c"
std.range: swapped order of arguments in take
std.stdio: added readln template
std.variant: now works with statically-sized arrays and const data
std.traits: added isNarrowString
* Removed gcstats. Garbage collector statistics will be avaialable in durintime's 'memory' module.
* Removed object.d. This module is replaced by the object.d provided by druntime.
* Removed std.array. To trap an array bounds error, import 'exception' from druntime and catch ArrayBoundsException.
* Removed std.asserterror. To trap an asertion failure, import 'exception' from druntime and catch AssertException.
* Removed std.gc. To interact with the garbage collector, import 'memory' from druntime.
* Removed std.hiddenfunc. No equivalent exception is currently exposed by druntime, but if one is exposed it will be called HiddenFuncException and be declared in 'exception'.
* Removed std.moduleinit. druntime declares ModuleInfo in object.d, so it is implicitly availble without importing.
* Removed std.outofmemory. To trap an out of memory error, import 'exception' from druntime and catch OutOfMemoryException.
* Removed std.switcherr. To trap a switch error, import 'exception' from druntime and catch SwitchException.
* Removed std.synchro. This functionality will exist within druintime.
* Removed std.thread. A Thread class is available within druntime's 'thread' module. An interface comparison will be provided separately.
* Removed std.typeinfo. The classes defined in this package are for runtime use and should not be visible to the user.
The prior version of Phobos has been archived in tags/phobos-2.019 if needed.
-- add std.getopt
-- add std.variant
-- switch strings over to be invariant rather than const
-- hopefully the last big linux makefile overhaul
-- fix for bug 1579: write[ln] fails for obj.toString()
-- fix negative precision handling in std.format
-- add some file and directory iterator helpers
-- among other little changes here and there...
