1. startsWith and endsWith now have similar implementations.
2. They work with strings of different character sizes, whereas before
they treated strings as arrays regardless of whether they had the same
character size or not.
3. endsWith now actually works when mixing ranges and elements in the
endsWith portion like the documentation claims it does.
The template constraint for std.algorithm.joiner(r, sep) required a
forward range, when an input range would suffice. The one-argument
version of joiner() did not have this problem.
* Made emplace faster and replaced calls to it to also make them faster.
* Replaced phobos.d in posix.mak with index.d.
* Added version=StdDdoc to documentation build in posix.mak, and replaced uses of D_Ddoc with it.
* Improved documentation target in posix.mak (target dir automatically created).
* Added nice documentation table and cheat sheet at the top of std.algorithm.
* Replaced a few helper structs in std.range and std.algorithm with local structs, which simplify matters a fair amount.
* Added more constraints to functions in std.algorithm (still work in progress).
* Improved error message in std.algorithm.sort in case of failure to sort.
* std.random.dice(1, 10) now works (no need for array notation std.random.dice([1, 10])).
* Fixed documentation bugs and insufficiencies in std.range (still more to do).
* Improved speed of walkLength.
* Simplified retro.
* Simplified and optimized stride. Also folded stride(stride(r, a), b) into stride(r, a * b).
* Added roundRobin to std.range, which as a perk simplified radial.
* Added takeOne and takeNone to std.range.
* Added unsigned to std.traits.

std.gregorian, std.date, and std.dateparse have all been marked as
scheduled for deprecation. Everywhere (except for std.file) which was
using std.date is now using std.datetime. std.file is now using
std.datetime but has a number of functions still using d_time but which
are marked as scheduled for deprecation. I tried to give as many as I
could pragmas indicating that they were scheduled for deprecation, but
at the moment, that requires that a function be a templated function, and
I couldn't templatize all of them. So, some functions in std.file are
only marked as scheduled for deprecation in their documentation and will
not give any warning on compilation.
I had to rename several functions in std.file in order to avoid making
any breaking changes. And since I was already having to mess with
function names, it seemed like a good time to change the names of a
number of the functions in std.file to use proper capitalization
(such as changing isdir to isDir) as has been discussed and overwhelmingly
supported in the newsgroup with regards to std.string. And since I was
making those changes, it seemed like a good time to fix bug# 3848
(functions in std.file don't take symbolic links into account) as well.
So, std.file should now deal with symlinks properly.
The issue which Andrei brought up with +VERSION causing the std.datetime
unit tests to fail on OSX has been fixed as well.
