In the language, named arguments for functions have been implemented and documented.
In phobos, std.uni has been upgraded to Unicode 15.1.0.
In dub, the fetch command now supports multiple arguments, recursive fetch, and is project-aware.

Also in this release -- Interpolation Expression Sequences (a.k.a. string interpolation).

Looks like a pretty sweet release to upgrade to!

Could you please provide a link to the documentation that one should read to know everthing related to string interpolation in dlang. Things like: Can it be used in nogc code? etc.

Yes, the literal is just a value sequence.

Thank you. It looks like run.dlang.org is not using the last dmd version yet.

Yes, it's DMD64 D Compiler v2.105.3. I wanted to make the examples runnable in that page but we need a dmd update there.

I also noticed the 'dmd-nightly' version is v2.103.0!

Dear Nick, this is out of the topic, but I noticed that you are a Geany contributor. I have a long waiting PR here https://github.com/geany/geany-plugins/pull/789. I added the "open with x" feature. I am not a regular Geany user anymore, though. I remember I needed that feature a lot when using Geany.
