Wow! Very good stuff in this one!
Bug 5710, a dip 1000 phobos, and alias templates parameters match types!

Thanks!

Thanks to evrybody who helped making this possible. This is a really exciting release. Personally, I'm very much looking forward to

- "Local templates can now receive local symbols."
- "Template alias parameters now match basic types as a conversion."
- "Phobos is now compiled with -preview=dip1000"

The first 2 fix huge annoyances which I have run into several times already. And phobos being compile with DIP1000 is a major milestone towards a safer D.

Thanks again to everybody involved!

Is the JSON_TYPE deprecation listed in the changelog, I couldn't see it? I was on 2.086.0 prior to trying this beta which did not show the deprecation.

Cheers,
Norm

That was back on 2.082.0, to make it match the D style guide. Not sure why it didn't show for you.

This is the first release where the old enum is marked as deprecated so it probably should go in the changelog.

Cheers,
Norm
