Glad to announce D 2.096.0, ♥ to the 54 contributors. This release comes with improved ABI compatibility for complex types, clarified copy constructor and postblit interaction, optional libunwind based backtraces, runtime-allocated global synchronized mutexes, and a preview for shortened lambda-style function definitions. http://dlang.org/download.html http://dlang.org/changelog/2.096.0.html -Martin

This allows functions to be written in a similar form to lambda functions: // these 2 are equivalent int foo() { return 1; } int foo() => 1; The syntax allows the form => expr to replace the function body { return expr; } Amazing! I had no idea this got in. I love the syntax.

The fix for Issue 21508 - _private class p in file p.d visible
outside the file (module)_ removed a behavior that was (wrongly)
used from time to time:
```
module Foo;
class Foo {...}
```
The class `Foo` can no longer be imported with `import Foo;` This
is a surprising breaking change. Perhaps it should be documented
more explicitly.
