Sure, just add it to the changelog.

Correction: @property has at least one effect without -property. typeof acts differently on properties vs non-properties.

----
struct S
{
    @property int p();
    int n();
}
pragma(msg, typeof(S.init.p)); /* int */
pragma(msg, typeof(S.init.n)); /* int() -- i.e. a function */
----

I wasn't aware of this before Jonathan M Davis told me [1]. I don't think it's specified anywhere, at least I can't find anything.

Now it would be great if @property was removed. It is just one more attribute that brings nothing to the table and take valuable space on the screen.

Can we please get this one in?:

https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/pull/4745

I'm getting tired of watching, updating and rebasing it, and also tired of the paragraphs in my generated docs being all messed up.

The changelog links to:
http://dlang.org/phobos/std_experimental_allocator.html
which returns 404 for me.
I remember seeing discussions about versioning the docs. What happened to that?

This is because the current docs are for the current release, not the to-be-released version.

Try http://dlang.org/phobos-prerelease/std_experimental_allocator.html

Sure, just to know which option is used.

I think rebuilding 2.069b1 with 2.069b1 could help to find bugs and, of course, can takes advantages from the new improvements... am I missing something?
