Horray! It also looks like the beginning of an actively developed phobos! Great work Walter and Andrei!

Yikes! Looks like I've got my work cut out for me updating the std2 backport of phobos.


Anyway, is the const article up to date with the "current state of the const"?  I mean this one: http://www.digitalmars.com/d/const.html

Oh great! :D Love to see the new std.algorithm.



BTW, are std.windows.charset and std.slist new modules too? Seems not mentioned on the changelog, or probably I've missed it in previous versions.

Neat!

What does the typeof(return) type specifier do?

I found it, nevermind.  (inside a function, evaluates to the return type).

That's a pretty convenient addition for generic code.

It's replaced with the type of the return value of the function you're in.

I have found a bug similar to 1665. It only happens when compiling with -O
and the error:
Internal error: ..\ztc\cgcod.c 1523

I haven't been able to create any sample code...

Version 2.007 worked fine, but trying to run 2.008 I got :

dmd: /lib/tls/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.4' not found (required by dmd)

How can i correct that :-s ?
