New/Changed Features

Better use of XMM registers in 64 bit targets.
The invariant keyword as a synonym for immutable is now deprecated - use immutable instead
Add Mach-O 64 bit support for obj2asm and dumpobj
classes, interfaces, and exceptions are supported in CTFE
Bugzilla 3474: PATCH: Implement opDollar for struct and class indexing operations
Bugzilla 6572: Deprecate typedef
Major overhaul of std.regex module's implementation. Breaking change in std.regex.replace with delegate, use Captures!string instead of RegexMatch!string as delegate parameter.
As typedef has been deprecated, overloads of std.conv.to which use typedef have now been deprecated.
std.array.insert has been deprecated. Please use std.array.insertInPlace instead.
The overload of std.array.replace which replaces in place has been deprecated. Please use std.array.replaceInPlace instead.
The toISOExtendedString and fromISOExtendedString functions on SysTime, Date, TimeOfDay, and DateTime in std.datetime have been deprecated. Please use toISOExtString and fromISOExtString instead.
std.file.getTimesPosix has been deprecated. Please use std.file.getTimes instead.
The overloads for isDir, isFile, and isSymlink in std.file which take a uint have been deprecated. Please use attrIsDir, attrIsFile, and attrIsSymlink instead.
Bugzilla 2550: implicit conversions don't apply to template value parameter specialization
