--- Comment #2 from Steven Schveighoffer <schvei...@yahoo.com> ---
This is recent, and as designed.
Please see: https://dlang.org/changelog/2.078.0.html#fix16997
See the original bug report here:

Note that in C:
unsigned char x = 0x80;
int y = ~x; // 0xffffff7f
In D, without any switches:
ubyte x = 0x80;
int y = ~x; // 0x0000007f
With the intpromote switch, it's the same as C. This is the point behind the
change -- it was a bug that the integer promotion didn't happen before the
complement.
Yes, in C, you don't have to cast an int back down to unsigned char explicitly,
it just truncates without complaint. D does not. This is the difference you are
seeing that requires the cast.
