Done.

Something that's not obvious about phobos `hexString` CT template, it's not reflected in the DDOC, but it works with the `import` expression, and i think it was the primary goal, for example if you have an hex dump that's likely to represent some ASCII chars, in a file named file.txt:

---
import std.conv;
writeln( hexString!(import("file.txt")));
---

Coedit users can use this easily because the folder of a runnable module is always added to the string import path (-J). For example they just have to put the dump files into the folder where stand the script...et voilà "compile file & run" works directly without error about the import() folder.

I am sorry, but this release is horrible. It is a first time when I am force to do nothing with my codebase. Everything works as expected. So there is definitely something wrong :).

New to brew... getting errors with this on Yosemite:
    Error: Permission denied - /usr/local/etc/dmd.conf
and sudo brew install refuses to do so.

Did you by any chance have dmd installed from the installer before-hand?

What does `brew doctor` give you?

/usr/local is Apple's domain on Yosemite now. IIRC, even root can't touch it in 10.11.

Not true. AFAIK /usr/local is the only bit of /usr that *is* available for third-parties.

No, just installed brew last night.

Ah, that mentions that a bunch of paths aren't writeable and suggests I chown them.

Warning: /usr/local/bin isn't writable.

Warning: /usr/local/etc isn't writable.

Warning: /usr/local/sbin isn't writable.

Warning: The /usr/local directory is not writable.

Might be something to do with corp setup.  brew install went fine but said it was changing all those dirs to be group-writeable and group 'admin'. But they don't appear to be so now:

$ ls -ld /usr/local/bin
drwxr-xr-x  77 root  wheel  2618 Aug 10 18:06 /usr/local/bin
Running the chmod and chgrp commands from the brew install over again does
allow the 'brew install dmd' command to complete without error.

you should fill a regression bug, i think.

Ah, mixed it up with this tidbit:

    The /usr/local folder remains accessible, however; it's a
    long-running convention in Unix and variants as a place to stash
    material and software that individual users rely on. El Capitan will
    also remove files from those directories that don't belong to Apple.

So it isn't safe over an upgrade, but is accessible.
