### What's New for D 0.156

Apr 28, 2006

#### Bugs Fixed

- Fixed Bugzilla 117

### What's New for D 0.155

Apr 27, 2006

#### New/Changed Features

- Added Microsoft windbg.exe Win32 debugger.
- Removed std.recls, instead use http://synesis.com.au/software/recls/.
- Incorporated Dave Fladebo's changes:

- std.regexp speedups.
- Fixed a bug in pauseHandler whereby the stackTop was being overwritten by subsequently resumed threads causing a crash in gcx.mark(). (The fix was to just move sem_post(&flagSuspend); to right before the sigsuspend loop).
- Moved linux semaphore declarations to std/c/linux/linux.d
- Changed void wait(uint milliseconds){} to be a timed wait function instead of just a stub for void wait() {} on linux (it is comparable to the Win32 Thread method now). This is implemented with pthread mutexes and conditions and the extra overhead to initialize phobos Threads does not result in slower executables (Threads, GC and startup time are not effected).
- Changed the allThreads static array size to the same as Windows. This in conjunction w/ the stack size change will allow the creation of more than 100 threads on linux for better compatibility w/ the Win32 version.
- Added optional stack size parameter to constructors. Since the stackBottom is static when the threads are created and the stackTop is dynamic based on the stack pointer (or context for Win32), allowing the threads to be created with a non-default stack size shouldn't interfere with the GC. This adds little overhead to either the Win32 or Linux Thread implementations.
