The 2.061 changelog has a 'new/changed features' link to bugzilla items, 
where there's an item 'alias should have assignment syntax'.

There are two issues with this approach:

1. Alias assignment syntax is (probably) a more interesting change to 
many D users than quite a few of the other new/changed items listed. It 
is buried amongst some less interesting items.

2. Being a bugzilla item title it doesn't contain syntax examples, which 
is what a changelog reader would like to see.

The new deprecated switches item did get a paragraph in the changelog, 
but other significant changes did not.
