In 0.9.20, it used to gather all source files of all packages in the 
dependency tree and built them at once (when necessary). Now, by 
default, it will build each dependency as a separate static library and 
also builds only those dependencies that have changed or those that 
depend on other dependencies that have changed.

The --combined switch can be used to get (almost) the old behavior. 
Almost, because DUB now also respects the exact "targetType" of a 
package and will always build a static library if "staticLibrary" is 
given and aways includes the source files on the parent package build 
command when "sourceLibrary" is used. Previously, all dependencies were 
basically treated as "sourceLibrary".
