There's even no notice in the changelog of the breakage, which
is quite obvious by inspecting the diff.
Changelogs should be generated from pull requests, not Bugzilla
issues anyway.

This is a serious matter because it broke production code. Was
there a reason for the breakage? We should make sure breaking
changes are avoided or get a lot of scrutiny if they are really
necessary.
I don't think it was an intentional change, rather a mundane
regression. Could you post the affected code?
I wonder how we can improve the process to avoid such issues in
the future.
Make it easy for individuals and companies to set up CI servers
which automatically test their projects with beta versions of D?
