$(VERSION 060, ddd mm, 2012, =================================================,

    $(WHATSNEW
        $(LI std.string: $(RED The current implementations of std.string.format and string.sformat are
             scheduled to be replaced in November 2012 with improved implementations
             which conform to writef. In some, rare cases, this will break code.
             Please see the documentation for std.string.format and std.string.sformat for details.))
        $(LI std.bitmanip: Added peek, read, write, and append for converting
             ranges of bytes to and from integral types.)
        $(LI std.container: Added DList, which is an implementation of a doubly-linked list.)
        $(LI Added std.file.tempDir which returns the path to a directory
             where a program can put temporary files.)
        $(LI std.process: Added escapeShellCommand, escapeShellFileName, and
             escapeWindowsArgument. Documented browse function.)

             pass a range by reference.)
        $(LI std.traits: Added KeyType, ValueType, isScalarType, isBasicType, and
             SetFunctionAttributes templates.)
        $(LI std.traits: areAllSafe has been scheduled for deprecation. Please use
             allSatisfy(isSafe, ...) instead.)
        $(LI std.utf: Added overload of codeLength which operates on a string.)
        $(LI Capitalized std.traits.pointerTarget to PointerTarget. Old one is
             scheduled for deprecation.)
        $(LI std.algorithm.indexOf - which was scheduled for deprecation - has been deprecated (it was
             easily confused with std.string.indexOf). Please use countUntil instead.)
        $(LI std.cpuid - which was scheduled for deprecation - has been deprecated.
             Please use core.cpuid instead.)
        $(LI std.conv.ConvError and ConvOverflowException - which were scheduled for deprecation - have
             been deprecated. Please catch ConvException and ConvOverflowException instead.)
        $(LI The overloads of std.conv.to which were scheduled for deprecation
             because formattedWrite replaced them have now been deprecated.
             Please use std.format.formattedWrite instead.)
        $(LI The overload of std.exception.enforce which takes the file and line number as template
             arguments has been scheduled for deprecation (as it causes unnecessary template bloat).
             Please use the overload which takes them as function arguments instead. This will have no
             effect on any calls to enforce which do not explicitly pass the file or line number.)
        $(LI std.format.FormatError - which was scheduled for deprecation - has been deprecated.

             Please use std.file.getTimes instead.)
        $(LI The deprecated overloads of isFile, isDir, and isSymLink in

$(VERSION 059, ddd mm, 2012, =================================================,
    $(WHATSNEW
        $(LI std.array: replaceInto, an alternative for replace that outputs result directly
        to an output range, avoiding extra allocation.)
        $(LI The deprecated std.date, std.dateparse, and std.gregorian modules
             have been removed. Please use std.datetime instead.)
        $(LI Several deprecated functions in std.file have been removed.)
        $(LI The old functions in std.path which were scheduled for deprecation
             have now been deprecated. Please use the new ones which were
             introduced in 2.055. However, note that curdir and pardir do not
             have replacements, because they're "." and ".." respectively on all
             OSes so variables for them were seen as unnecessary. Also, one major
             change to note about the new std.path functions is that when operating
             on extensions, they expect "." to be part of the extension whereas the
             old ones did not (e.g. "file.txt".extension == ".txt" whereas
             "file.txt".getExt() == "txt").)
        $(LI The version of std.exception.enforceEx which was scheduled for
             deprecation has been deprecated. Please use the version which
             takes exceptions which can be constructed with new E(msg, file, line)
             (rather than just new E(msg) as the old version did). That way,
             exceptions constructed with enforceEx will give the file and line
             number where enforceEx was called.)
        $(LI Get rid of Win9x support.)
        $(LI std.typecons: Added Proxy mixin template.)
        $(LI std.format: Added documentation about compound format specifier.)
