This page[1] has been getting regular updates, so it should do a good
job answering the question.

I believe most "future directions" will be D3 or beyond. I'm pretty
certain that Andrei wants TDPL to match D2. All but one chapter has
been written, and TDPL related bugs have gotten priority. There
should be very few feature changes between now and D2 finalization.
Andrei, Walter, Sean, can you comment?
You mean the list "Known D2.0, Language"? Here's what I think (Walter
is the ultimate go-to person):
# Operator overloading: opBinary!("+"), opUnary!("--"),
opIndexAssign!("*").
D2
# opDollar ( Bugzilla:3474).
D2
# Move complex and imaginary types from language into std.complex.
D2
# Fix the array stomping issue (T[new] was one proposal for this).
We have a design that partially resolves it. Steve Schveighoffer has
implemented it.
# Remove C-style declarations.
I don't think they'll be removed, but TDPL doesn't mention them.
# Remove typedef.
D2
# Remove struct initializers.
Dunno
# Remove floating point NCEG operators
D2
# Remove "length" from array index expressions ( Bugzilla:3474).
Dunno. Hope so! TDPL won't mention it, so it's real bad if the feature
stays,
What about propagating qualifiers to the return type (i.e. inout)? I
think that is a major change and is in the book. It's currently
partially implemented, but it does not work.
