Not a big deal, but there's a 32-byte file named ".exe" in "windows/bin".

Thank you and the other people for the release.

From the changelog:

> added talign() and argTypes() to TypeInfo


But in this page I am seeing info only about talign():
http://www.digitalmars.com/d/2.0/phobos/object.html#talign
size_t talign(); Return alignment of type

What is argTypes()? Is it explained elsewhere in the docs?

> Bugzilla 4987: C function pointer syntax needs to be deprecated

The situation for this bug is unchanged: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=4530

-----------------

> Added relaxed purity checking rules.

Very good. I hope Phobos will be updated to use that improvement, examples:

> Bugzilla 2310: Inconsistent formatting of arrays in std.stdio.write() and std.conv.to!(string)()

Good. But it's silly that two so different arrays have the same textual representation:


import std.stdio;
void main() {
    auto a = ["1", "2", "3"];
    auto b = [1, 2, 3];
    writeln(a); // prints [1, 2, 3]
    writeln(b); // prints [1, 2, 3]
}


For the first array a textual representation like this is better because you can tell apart strings and integers from the printout:

["1", "2", "3"]

This problem is the one that originally made me start putting bug reports in Bugzilla, it's my the first bug report and I regard it as important enough:

2.050 can no longer build rdmd (2.049 could). Apparently some problem with std.algorithm.startsWith:

Funny, there's a link to dmd.2060 rpm in downloads:

What relaxations were made, exactly?

(these should probably described in the change list)

Pure functions now only require that no globals are used in their body, and
that any called functions also be pure. A stronger version is created by
having only parameters that are castable to immutable. The former only
makes it easy to reason about code, the latter is memoizable, can safely be
executed in parallel, etc.
