In addition, it seems that now the order of evaluation is less 
undefined. The following was added in 
http://www.digitalmars.com/d/2.0/expression.html

"The following binary expressions are evaluated in strictly 
left-to-right order:

OrExpression, XorExpression, AndExpression, CmpExpression, 
ShiftExpression, AddExpression, CatExpression, MulExpression, 
CommaExpression, OrOrExpression, AndAndExpression "

Also added:
"Associativity and Commutativity
An implementation may rearrange the evaluation of expressions according 
to arithmetic associativity and commutativity rules as long as, within 
that thread of execution, no observable different is possible.

This rule precludes any associative or commutative reordering of 
floating point expressions."
Walter, note the different->difference typo.


Some additions to the float page as well.


And a new FAQ question was added:
"Can't a sufficiently smart compiler figure out that a function is pure 
automatically?"
