Now, they should be correctly importing for the functions publicly
imported by std.string so that if those public imports are ever removed,
they won't break.
* 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The prior version of Phobos has been archived in tags/phobos-2.019 if needed.
* std.contracts: Added file and line information to enforce. Added errnoEnforce that reads and formats a message according to errno. Added corresponding ErrnoException class.
* std.encoding: For now commented out std.encoding.to.
* std.file: Fixed bug 2065
* std.format: Fixed bug in raw write for arrays
* std.getopt: Added new option stopOnFirstNonOption. Also automatically expand dubious option groups with embedded 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.
* std.process: added getenv and setenv. Improved system() so it returns the exit code correctly on Linux.
* std.random: added the dice function - a handy (possibly biased) dice.
* std.file: added support for opening large files (not yet tested)
* std.utf: added the codeLength function. Got rid of some gotos.
-- 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...
