So after a while without write any D code (such a sad time) I'm back. I needed to use appender but it returned a compile error:

> template instance template 'appender' is not defined

I've imported the std.format module but it still doesn't works. What changed? did this moved to somewhere else or what? the documentation still says that it's in the std.format module (http://dlang.org/phobos/std_format.html). I guess I need to read the break changes log since the version I'm using?

My machine: Windows 8.1 and dmd version v2.066.0.

I'm aware about format() from std.string but I have some code written which uses appender and I'm a bit affraid that this won't compile anymore

appender is in std.array.

why that page I've linked use std.format?

Some examples simply use appender. For example, the following appears in some of the examples there:

  import std.array : appender;

You mean that first example? Simple oversight. It's already fixed in the prerelease version where it imports std.array now: http://dlang.org/phobos-prerelease/std_format.html
