2.104 deprecated `ref in`, this changes function signatures (Adam 
was particularly displeased with having to push breaking changes).
2.103 deprecated `alias this` on classes, which resulted in 
complete code breakage. This lad 
https://github.com/FreeSlave/icontheme/issues/2 even refused to 
do anything about it.
2.102 deprecated `__traits(getAttributes)`. Somebody complained 
about this, but I can't remember who exactly. Probably Adam again.
2.101 removed `std.xml`, which led to a significant rewrite of 
dlangui, which inevitably led to me leaving D (even though 
temporarily). And no, `undeaD` maintainers refused to fix my 
problems: https://github.com/dlang/undeaD/pull/54 , 
https://github.com/buggins/dlangui/issues/643 (tl;dr undeaD 
doesn't work with GDC)

Other versions go too far back for my memory
