First beta for the 2.073.0 release.

This release comes with a few phobos additions, a new -mcpu=avx switch, an experimental safety checks (-transition=safe/-dip1000), and several bugfixes.

The change log should probably include the topN rewrite. PR 4815, several issue reports.

I don't know if any DMD developers has noticed this regression:

https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17059

2.073.0-b1 is still affected.
I ask because it was reported the during the DFeed outage last week.

Is the flag to enable the new checks or revert to the previous behavior?

Thanks for the good work!

Are phobos unittests not passing when compiling with -dip1000 considered bugs or is it this experimental?

BTW, there is no '-transition=safe' switch.

Most of phobos is currently not usable with DIP1000, partly because
safety checks are hard errors (instead of deprecations) and partly
because of implementation bugs.
You can try it experimentally with isolated code snippets.
Don't expect much documentation or help at this stage, the feature will
properly released when it's finished.

Any way to escape pointers in @safe code with -dip1000 enabled are considered bugs and should be reported under issues.dlang.org using the `safe` keyword and `[scope]` in the title.

Thanks for the precisions!

* -transition=safe/-dip1000
=> not mentioned in http://dlang.org/changelog/2.073.0.html

* std.experimental.ndslice has been deprecated. The synchronization between Phobos and Mir turned out to be a lot of work with litte gain

=> That's a good move. Will make development faster indeed by not being tied to dmd releases. The downside of `batteries included` is is hampers development speed, deprecation speed, etc. Another example: std.json sucks compared to http://vibed.org/api/vibe.data.json/

That's deliberate, as you can't even use it with writeln yet.

Which has a much more powerful successor http://code.dlang.org/packages/std_data_json.
IMO, packages are great in std, once they're done and won't change much.

Is it possible to get an ETA on protection work on __traits?

Thanks
