v2.065 (2014)

This release focuses on reducing the ICE list.

DMD

ICEs in Bugzilla

Issue 11406 - binaries linked with ld.gold crash

Druntime

Phobos

Tools

automate release builds

  • Nick Sabalausky wrote a release tool.
  • Brad Roberts added install targets to the makefiles (dmd, druntime and phobos).
  • Nightly builds from the autotesters
  • Reusing existing makefiles is preferred
  • Package scripts must build from source (see Issue 10710)
  • Dejan Lekic made a Fedora SPEC file
  • Multi-arch cross-compiler should be optional (more dependencies/bigger size for rarely needed feature)

v2.066 (??? 2014)

This release focuses on ???.

DMD

fix export DIP45

Get the DIP approved by Walter. Prototype an implementation to find further issues.

complete "Cross-module template overload" feature

introduce "uniform construction" syntax

Because it is already approved by Andrei.

Relax syntactic limitations around UDA

fix Issue 10985 - function inlining

This depends on fixing some codegen bugs

fix Issue 7469 - template mangling depends on instantiation order

fix Issue 11171 - Text relocations in Phobos shared library

Review initZ and vtblZ relocations

fix Issue 11543 - multiple definition of std.regex with shared library

Must avoid copy relocations for ModuleInfos

Druntime

high-level shared library support

Initial work in pull request #617. Need to improve the API of the Library wrapper.

library AA

Phobos

Reduce dependency hell, split up huge modules to enable fine-grained imports.

Upgrade std.regex to make use of new std.uni.

The goal is to reuse public APIs and to get rid of the old internal Unicode implementation. This would de-bloat Phobos and put std.uni to some serious performance test. The fork: https://github.com/blackwhale/phobos/tree/uni-meets-regex

Split std.datetime so that it's a package rather than a module.

Rework std.variant's Algebraic (ADTs)

  • add compile-time checking that all possible types are handled by user code
  • allow recursive data types

Tools

v2.067 (??? 2014)

DMD

Druntime

  • Overhaul core.time. TickDuration should be phased out in favor a monotonic clock type which converts to a core.time.Duration when you subtract one from another. Issue 11989
