We should really finish the tooling support for changelogs. https://github.com/dlang/dlang.org/pull/1483 BTW, everyone is free to submit fixes for such issues, in the longterm this scales much better than having many people tell me what to do ;).

We'll discuss how to proceed in the next few days. On the good side those have mostly been phobos instead of language changes. https://github.com/dlang/dmd/compare/stable...master AFAIK the dmd work was mostly on C->D conversion and a few smaller fixes for @safe and @nogc. On the bad side phobos changes had the tendency to not care too much about compatibility in the past. As I've been on vacation the past 3-4 weeks, I still need to catch up and get a better overview. Thank you for the release! Please merge 2 ndslice PRs [1] for 2.072. They are required for Mir to exclude ndslice package except experimental ndslice.algotithm and future modules. It is very costly to maintain both Phobos and Mir versions. So I would like to exclude already accepted ndslice modules from Mir. 3 PRs are already merged by Andrei, he also reviewed #4780. #4781 is main preparation for Mir and it contains mapSlice, which was reviewed as ndMap in #4652.
