- Improved single thread performance of gc allocation
+ per Dave Fladebo's suggestions.

+ for many double lookups.
+
- .offset property is now deprecated, use .offsetof
+ instead. This makes for better compatibility with C and fewer conflicts

+New/Changed Features
+
+ - Added Ben Hinkle's improvements to std.stream. Ben writes:
+ "I've attached a modified version of std.stream and phobos.html that
+ include the bug fixes and behavior changes outlined in the newsgroup
+ post yesterday. The bug fixes are almost entirely backwards compatible.
+ The biggest difference is the change that opening a file on Windows with
+ FileMode.In errors when the file doesn't exist. That makes it the same
+ behavior as Linux and it just seems to make sense.
+ I also did things like added writef and changed the Error classes to
+ Exception."
+
+
- Kris pointed out that version identifiers have global effect,
+ and are dependent on which order modules are imported. This is clearly
+ wrong. Now, only version and debug definitions on the command line

+ be done at module scope.

+
+ These changes have been needed for a while, and it's time to
+ put them in before D gets too constrained by legacy code.
+ Fortunately, using grep and global/search/replace can easily
+ take care of the type renames.
+ The array declaration issue can be fixed
+ by grepping for "][", and then manually fixing each.
