Thanks to evrybody who helped making this possible. This is a really
exciting release. Personally, I'm very much looking forward to

- "Local templates can now receive local symbols."
- "Template alias parameters now match basic types as a conversion."
- "Phobos is now compiled with -preview=dip1000"

The first 2 fix huge annoyances which I have run into several times
already. And phobos being compile with DIP1000 is a major milestone
towards a safer D.

Thanks again to everybody involved!

Is the JSON_TYPE deprecation listed in the changelog, I couldn't 
see it? I was on 2.086.0 prior to trying this beta which did not 
show the deprecation.

Cheers,

That was back on 2.082.0, to make it match the D style guide. Not 
sure why it didn't show for you.

This is the first release where the old enum is marked as 
deprecated so it probably should go in the changelog.

I'm curious. There was some controversy about the fix to the now 
infamous Issue 5710, and doubt about whether the PR to fix it 
would be merged. I see that the fix is now merged (great!) but I 
see a PR (9702) to revert this, which IMO would be a shame.

Is this a feature we shouldn't get used to?

Thanks. It seems https://github.com/dlang/druntime/pull/2620 hasn't made
it into the RC although it was merged into stable 2 days ago. I guess
that coincided with preparations for the release candidate. Will it
still be included in the release?

Hi,

for this coding

```
import std;

void main()
{
     assert("abc123".all!(c => (c.isAlpha && c.isUpper == false) 
|| c.isDigit));
}
```


2.087.0 RC throws an error:

C:\D\dmd2\windows\bin\..\..\src\phobos\std\algorithm\searching.d(123): Error:
static assert:  "_lambda isn't a unary predicate function for range.front"
unary.d(5):        instantiated from here: all!string

Is this a bug?

Kind regards
André

Both, std.uni and std.ascii have isAlpha and isUpper.

 Both, std.uni and std.ascii have isAlpha and isUpper.

Thanks, you helped me to find the issue. The productive coding 
looks like this:

import std.algorithm : all;

void main()
{
     import std.ascii : isAlpha, isDigit;
     assert("abc123".all!(c => (c.isAlpha && c.isUpper == false) 
|| c.isDigit));
}

With previous dmd version, although import isUpper was not 
defined, somehow it worked.
This seems to be fixed now. This issue was the missing isUpper 
import statement.
The error message is a little bit odd:
Error: static assert:  "_lambda isn't a unary predicate function 
for range.front"

Kind regards
André

There have been bugs in the past with regards to symbols being pulled in
without the actual import being there (due to stuff that was imported using
it IIRC). I don't know what the current state of that is, but I recall there
being a deprecation message about that behavior going away. So, if that
behavior finally went away, then code could have compiled with the previous
release but not the new one.
