New/Changed Features

  • Implement @safe
  • Implement @property
  • Automatic inference for @safe, pure, nothrow
  • Allow labelled break and continue in CTFE
  • Warn about switch case fallthrough
  • Pointers are now supported in CTFE
  • Heap-allocated structs are now supported in CTFE
  • Added SSSE3 instructions to inline assembler
  • Change from warning to deprecated: non-final switch statements must have a default statement
  • Change from warning to deprecated: function is hidden by function
  • Add warning about switch case fallthrough
  • Add warning about calling pure nothrow functions and ignoring the result
  • Allow associative arrays with key of type bool
  • Added inference for purity and safety
  • Change win32 dmd to not emit a map file unless asked for with -map
  • Added -property switch
  • Bugzilla 5823: @property call syntax restriction not implemented
  • Added core.sys.posix.netdb
  • For functions which have a version which takes a core.time.Duration and another version which takes an integral value, the version which takes an integral value is now scheduled for deprecation.
  • std.array.insertInPlace supports inserting of multiple ranges/elements in one go
  • Added std.array.uninitializedArray and std.array.minimallyInitializedArray
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • std.ctype has been scheduled for deprecation. std.ascii has been added to replace it.
  • Major performance improvements for std.algorithm.sort
  • std.string.atoi has been removed; replace it with std.conv.to!int
  • Switched to using posix.mak instead of various .mak files
