Hello Ali,

ndslice was removed from Phobos because it is to hard to maintain 
Phobos and Mir at the same time. It is better to have dub 
packages instead of big Phobos, IMHO.

ndslice was completely rewritten and extended in mir-algorithm 
package [0, 1]  since ndslice was deprecated in Phobos. Its API 
is stable enough and includes all kinds of tensors. New ndslice 
is used in two Tamediadigital's projects [3, 4]. See also its 
README for more details.

The old ndslice (like in Phobos) is located in parent Mir package 
[2].
The last Mir version with old ndslice is v0.22.1.

If you have any questions about ndslice I would be happy to 
answer.
