Version D 2.014 May 16, 2008

#### New/Changed Features

- Added -man switch to browse manual.
- Added -lib switch to generate library files. Also causes multiple object files to be generated from one source module.
- When generating an executable file, only one object file is now generated containing all the modules that were compiled, rather than one object file per module.
- Rewrote the rdmd utility to properly track dependencies and command-line compiler options (currently only working under Linux).
- Changed the Phobos makefile `linux.mak` to take advantage of the new -lib feature. Improved full build speed by 3x.
- std.algorithm: Changed the map() function so that it deduces the return type. Also map can be now curried.
- std.contracts: Added file and line information to enforce. Added errnoEnforce that formats the error message according to errno. Added corresponding ErrnoException class.
- std.conv: Made std.to curryable. Changed std.to to throw exception when object-to-object cast fails. Eliminated some superfluous printfs.
- std.encoding: Added new functions encodedLength(dchar) and encode(dchar, ref E[])
- std.encoding: Got rid of types Utf8, Utf16, Utf32, Ascii, Latin1, Windows1252. Introduced types AsciiChar, AsciiString, Latin1Char, Latin1String, Windows1252Char, Windows1252String.
- std.encoding: For now commented out std.encoding.to.
- std.file: Changed Boolean function signatures (e.g. exists) to return bool instead of int. Got rid of some gotos. Added the readText, lastModified, mkdirRecurse, and rmdirRecurse functions.
- std.functional: Improved compose so it accepts an unbounded number of functions. Added the pipe function.
- std.getopt: Added new option stopOnFirstNonOption. Also automatically expand dubious option groups with embedded spaces in them (useful for shebang scripts)
- std.math: improved integral powers
- std.md5: Improved signature of sum so it takes multiple arrays. Added getDigestString.
- std.path: changed signatures of test functions from bool to int. Implemented rel2abs for Windows. Improved join so that it accepts multiple paths. Got rid of some gotos with the help of scope statements.
- std.process: added getenv and setenv. Improved system() so it returns the exit code correctly on Linux.
- std.random: added the dice function - a handy (possibly biased) dice.
- std.typecons: Finalized and documented the stupendous Rebindable template.
- std.utf: added the codeLength function. Got rid of some gotos.

- std.typecons: added undocumented Rebindable in preparation for opImplicitCast.
- std.math:
  - Support for different CPU IEEE 'real' formats: 64-bit, 80-bit and 128-bit (quadruple) reals, both BigEndian and LittleEndian; partial support for non-IEEE 'doubledouble' reals.
