$(VERSION 055, ddd mm, 2011, =================================================,

    $(WHATSNEW
      $(LI std.algorithm.copy now specializes on arrays for 10-80x improved 
           performance.)
      $(LI std.path has been rewritten from scratch and has a completely new API.)
      $(LI std.utf.toUTFz allows you to get a zero-terminated string of any
           character type and of any type of mutability.)
      $(LI Added symlink and readLink to std.file for Posix systems.)
      $(LI Values for GDC and LDC were added to std.compiler.Vendor.)
      $(LI Added functions to std.bitswap for generically handling swapping
           endianness.)
      $(LI Added std.parallelism.TaskPool.workerIndex.)
      $(LI Added buffer recycling overload of std.parallelism.asyncBuf)
      $(LI std.math.tgamma, lgamma, erf, and erfc are now deprecated. The
           equivalent functions in std.mathspecial should be used instead.)
      $(LI The names of the values of std.mmfile.Mode, std.system.Endian,
           std.traits.FunctionAttributes, std.traits.ParameterStorageClass,
           and std.traits.Variadic were changed to match Phobos' naming conventions.)
      $(LI std.range:  Added indexed and chunks)
      $(LI std.string.translate has been updated to work with unicode. As a
           result, its signature has been changed. The old version and
           std.string.maketrans have been scheduled for deprecation.)
      $(LI std.string.tr has been updated so that it works with any string type.)
      $(LI std.conv.parse works for associative array and static array)
      $(LI std.format: Improvement of formatValue and unformatValue.
           They now works for associative array, consider element escaping,
           and treat range format spec more properly.)

$(VERSION 054, ddd mm, 2011, =================================================,

        $(LI Various functions in std.string were renamed to match Phobos'
             naming conventions and be properly camelcased. The old names
             are still there but have been scheduled for deprecation.)
        $(LI The deprecated std.string.toString and std.string.atoi functions
             were removed. If you were still using them for any reason,
             replace them with calls to std.conv.to.)
        $(LI Various functions in std.uni were renamed so that they don't have
             "Uni" in their name, since it was decided that it was not desirable to
             repeat a module's name in its functions' names. The old names
             are still there but have been scheduled for deprecation.)
        $(LI std.ctype has been scheduled for deprecation. std.ascii has been
