      $(LI Added buffer recycling overload of std.parallelism.asyncBuf)
      $(LI std.math.tgamma, lgamma, erf, and erfc are now deprecated. The

           std.traits.FunctionAttributes, std.traits.ParameterStorageClass,

      $(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

      $(LI std.conv.parse works for associative array and static array)
      $(LI std.format: Improvement of formatValue and unformatValue.

        $(LI The deprecated std.string.toString and std.string.atoi functions
             were removed. If you were still using them for any reason,

        $(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
