It began the freezing process last week. There are major changes to 
operator overloading which are implemented but not yet officially 
released, but no further major changes will occur to the language. Some 
smaller semantic issues will be changed in the next couple of months, 
but after that it'll just be bug fixes.
So you WILL need to change a fair amount of code in two months time, but 
after that, hardly at all.

Phobos will remain in a state of flux for some time, however.

If you're on Windows, the major D2 bug to be aware of is bugzilla bug 
3342. It may be a blocker.
