That was removed from the changelog, it's just that the dlang.org hasn't been

Odd. I wouldn't have expected any of it to end up on dlang until the final 
release, in which case you shouldn't have issues with the changelog not being 
up-to-date but still including 2.058. Was it being updated while the betas 
were out?

It does say "upcoming" on dlang.org, so it is the beta changelog.

No. It's in the changelog. It's just that the website hasn't been updated yet.

* Allow 1.userproperty syntax

Was UFCS added in this release? On what level is it supported? Does it now 
work with _everything_, or is it just all built-in types? Or is it only 
integers? Or is it only with properties and not functions and not full UFCS?

Uniform Function Call Syntax. Which basically means you can call free 
functions as they were methods.

void foo (int a, int b);

foo(1, 2);

1.foo(2);

Universal Function Call Syntax. The idea is that any function can be called as 
if it were a member function. The member function call syntax that arrays have 
is a version of this but isn't general/universal, whereas _universal_ function 
call syntax would apply to all types. So, stuff like 1.abs() and 5.max(3) 
become legal. It also means that you can declare functions which take a class 
or struct as their first parameter and call them as if they were member 
functions of that class/struct.

But it can introduce ambiguities - especially when dealing with structs or 
classes which can have member functions of their own. So, there's been some 
debate as to how it should be implemented - or even _if_ it should be 
implemented, though the basic idea is fairly popular.


From the sound of it, at least property functions with integers can now be 


used with UFCS, since at least that level of UFCS is required to declare 
properties for built-in types.

 property auto prop(int value) { ... }
auto value = 7.prop;

But that's just a guess, asthe changelog obviously isn't very descriptive. So, 
I have no idea what exactly has been implemented for that one line in the 
changelog - hence my question.

I quite disapointed to see array.sort fixed instead of deprecated.

This method is inferior to std.algorithm.sort, and most of its drawbacks 
are not fixable. Plus, sorting doesn't belong to the runtime IMO.

Great job by the way !

Is UFCS DOA? Here is my experiment:

struct S
{}

 property int foo(S)
{
     return 42;
}

void main()

     auto s = S();
     s.foo();       // Error: no property 'foo' for type 'S'

Apparently the only thing that is implemented is that float literals now 
require [0-9] after the decimal point. That means 1.f and 1.Li will be 
tokenized as [1][.][f] and [1][.][Li].

The following no longer works and is not listed in the changelog:

----
void foo(T...)(T)
{
}

void main()
{
     foo((string, string a){
         // Do something

It now gives:

test.d(1): Error: cannot have parameter of type void
test.d(1): Error: variable test.foo!(void).foo._param_0 voids have no value

I assume that this is intentional from my following of dmd commits, the 
breaking change should be listed though.

 Where is this odd-sounding beast documented?

 And what is UFCS?


 Universal Function Call Syntax. The idea is that any function can be called as
 if it were a member function. The member function call syntax that arrays have
 is a version of this but isn't general/universal, whereas _universal_ function
 call syntax would apply to all types. So, stuff like 1.abs() and 5.max(3)
 become legal. It also means that you can declare functions which take a class
 or struct as their first parameter and call them as if they were member
 functions of that class/struct.

 But it can introduce ambiguities - especially when dealing with structs or
 classes which can have member functions of their own. So, there's been some
 debate as to how it should be implemented - or even _if_ it should be
 implemented, though the basic idea is fairly popular.

 From the sound of it, at least property functions with integers can now be
 used with UFCS, since at least that level of UFCS is required to declare
 properties for built-in types.

  property auto prop(int value) { ... }
 auto value = 7.prop;

 But that's just a guess, asthe changelog obviously isn't very descriptive. So,
 I have no idea what exactly has been implemented for that one line in the
 changelog - hence my question.

float x = 1.f;  // GIVES ERROR

float y = 0.f;  // OK

what's up with that?  Is that a bug?

Awesome! And dat changelog! Fantastic work!

I get the feeling with this release D is taking a new direction?! I like 
it! This is also one of the few D2 releases where my modest pile of 
existing code just continues to work. Like, I don't know what to do now, 
just continue to code? like nothing happened?! Teh humanity! :)

Labambda!
thanks

Great work guys! That's a lot of bug fixes.

I was completely excited about UFCS when I read it had been 
implemented, but it
doesn't seem to work. What has it been implemented for exactly?

A git pull didn't work for some reason.

I had to do a "git fetch upstream tag v2.058" to see it. Weird.

Thx

If so, then it *should* be doing the same on 0.f

Somewhere in the lexer.
Numbers starting with 0 have a different control flow because of 0x and 0b.

This kind of duplicated control flow seems to be a pervasive problem in 
DMDs lexer and parser, making hacking on them a nightmare.
