This is not a complete list, I have surely forgotten some interesting things. Some things in modules already present: - Few more higher order functions like amap/afilter/table, something to build an associative array, a redesigned max/min, ecc; - Few more math functions like isLog2, intSqrt, intCubeRoot, etc; - Lazy permutations, combinations, etc; - Few more handy collections, like a stack, deque, hashSet, treeSet, growable circular queue, Union-Find; - Maybe even Range Minimum Query; - Two or three more types of Heaps (like the Fibonacci one); - A very lazy prime number generator range; - A flexible tagged pointer (a struct); - A hierarchical manual memory allocator; - Few more functionalities for std_bitmanip.BitArray and std.bitmanip.bitfields; - Weak references; - A prettyPrinter function; - Tuple slicing and joining; - Some standard exceptions; - In Bugzilla I have some enhancement requests where sometimes I have added the code for a new functions I'd like to be added. Few new modules: - std.graphics: small graphics module, useful for simple quick things and to define a standard basic interface for other graphic D libraries; - std.image: module to read and write png, jpeg, gif, bmp, ppm images; - std.graph: Graph module, with some useful algorithms (BFS, shortest path, connected components, etc). This is also useful to fix an API for external graph packages too; - std.geometry: A small geometry module with very fast 2D, 3D and 4D vectors (for 3D graphics, games, etc), convex hull algorithm, polygon centroid algorithm, to avoid reinventing the wheel every day; - std.operator: standard operators as functions, to be used with higher order functions; - std.icollections: few immutable collections, to be used in parallel code or for safety. Maybe they need their own module. Tools added to the standard distribution: - A statistical profiler like http://h3.gd/code/xfProf/ Bye, bearophile
