This is type system breaking, if that is not important or a 
bugfix, I'm not sure what is.

The PR didn't address the stable branch, but also missed the merging of
master, and thus isn't beta tested.
It fixes an issues that is already 16 month old.
We're releasing every 2 month.
Please take care of landing fixes in time on the right branch (stable),
just wait for the next release, or use the nightly.

Awesome! I'm really happy to see the protection issues fixed. 
Especially the DIP22 and selective/named import stuff.

Well, the commit message doesn't say that the issue was fixed, 
hence it's not in the bugfix list, also see the dlang-bot comment 
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/pull/5470#issuecomment-186661863.
I'd suggest you manually add a small compiler changes entry here 
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/blob/stable/changelog.dd, make
sure to use the stable branch.

$(LI Foreach loops..., also see $(Bugzilla 12345).)

No need for a more detailed section.

Congrats on fixing the import issues 313 and 314, the 7th and 8th 
oldest D2 issues in bugzilla, before they hit a decade:

Let's not rush this before the deprecation of the import changes 
is over (2 or 3 releases from now), people might still use the 
old behavior w/ -transition=import.
