$(BUGSTITLE Library Changes,

$(LI $(LNAME2 promoted, `std.traits.Promoted` gets the type to which a scalar type will
    be promoted in multi-term arithmetic expressions.)
-------
import std.traits : Promoted;
static assert(is(typeof(ubyte(3) * ubyte(5)) == Promoted!ubyte));
static assert(is(Promoted!ubyte == int));
-------
    $(P See the D specification on $(LINK2 $(ROOT_DIR)spec/type.html#integer-promotions,
    scalar type promotions) for more information.)
)

$(LI $(LNAME2 staticIsSorted, `std.meta.staticIsSorted` checks whether an `AliasSeq` is
    sorted according to some template predicate.)
------
enum Comp(T1, T2) = T1.sizeof < T2.sizeof;

import std.meta : staticIsSorted;
static assert( staticIsSorted!(Comp, byte, uint, double));
static assert(!staticIsSorted!(Comp, bool, long, dchar));
------
    $(P Additionally, the compile-time performance of `std.meta.staticSort` has been
    greatly improved. Nevertheless, due to compiler limitations it is still an
    extraordinarily expensive operation to perform on longer sequences; strive to
    minimize such use.)
)

$(LI $(LNAME2 minIndex, `std.algorithm.searching.minIndex` gets the index of
    the minimum element of a range, according to a specified predicate. The
    default predicate is "a < b")
-------
import std.algorithm.searching : minIndex;
int[] a = [5, 4, 2, 1, 9, 10];
assert(a.minIndex == 3);

int[] a;
assert(a.minIndex == -1);
-------
)

$(LI $(LNAME2 maxIndex, `std.algorithm.searching.maxIndex` gets the index of
    the maximum element of a range, according to a specified predicate. The
    default predicate is "a > b")
-------
import std.algorithm.searching : maxIndex;
int[] a = [5, 4, 2, 1, 9, 10];
assert(a.minIndex == 5);

int[] a;
assert(a.minIndex == -1);
-------
)

$(LI $(LNAME2 ndslice-removal, `std.experimental.ndslice` has been
deprecated.)
    The synchronization between Phobos and Mir turned out to be a lot of work
    with litte gain. Users of `std.experimental.ndslice` are advised to
    switch to the upstream $(LINK2 https://github.com/libmir/mir-algorithm,
    mir package).
)

$(LI $(LNAME2 has-function-attributes, `std.traits.hasFunctionAttributes` has
    been added)
    It exposes a user-friendly way to query for function attributes:
-------
import std.traits : hasFunctionAttributes;

// manually annotated function
real func(real x) pure nothrow @safe
{
    return x;
}
static assert(hasFunctionAttributes!(func, "@safe", "pure"));
static assert(!hasFunctionAttributes!(func, "@trusted"));

// for templated function types are automatically inferred
bool myFunc(T)(T b)
{
    return !b;
}
static assert(hasFunctionAttributes!(myFunc!bool, "@safe", "pure", "@nogc", "nothrow"));
static assert(!hasFunctionAttributes!(myFunc!bool, "shared"));
-------
)

)
