released Mar 3, 2009

#### New/Changed Features

- Escape string literals deprecated, see Bugzilla 2658
- Tripled speed of exp, expm1, and exp2. std.math is now less dependent on the C standard library.
- Added nested structs.
- Added buildable dmd source.
- Many changes to std.math for speed, accuracy, and Tango compatibility:
  - Improved accuracy of exp, expm1, exp2, sinh, cosh, tanh on Mac OSX, and tripled speed on all platforms.
  - Now using IEEE754-2008 camelCase names for isNaN, isFinite, isNormal, isSubnormal, isInfinity. Aliases for the old names have been retained.
  - The non-functional nan(char[]) is replaced with NaN, getNaNpayload.
