But what do you mean with anything will break using `.path`? It follows the usual deprecation path - currently it's just documented as deprecated. In one or two releases, the `deprecated` attribute will be set and a few releases later it will finally be removed. By that time projects will have had quite some time to react on the deprecation.

HTTPServerRequest.path does not have the same definition as previously.

It has been changed from a field to a getter function.

Tbh. it should just have been marked with deprecated instead of being removed, as you do specify is the normal deprecation process.

0.8.1:
                /** The _path part of the URL.

Remarks: This field is only set if HTTPServerOption.parseURL is set.
                */
                string path;

0.8.2:
                /** Deprecated: The _path part of the URL.

                        Note that this function contains the decoded version of 
the
                        requested path, which can yield incorrect results if 
the path
contains URL encoded path separators. Use `requestPath` instead to
                        get an encoding-aware representation.
                */
                string path() @safe {
                        if (_path.isNull) {
                                _path = urlDecode(requestPath.toString);
                        }
                        return _path.get;
                }

                private Nullable!string _path;

There should still have been a setter property like:

void path(string newPath);

Which should be marked with deprecated until it could be safely removed.
