It doesn't matter. It's between the latest stable version (2.066.1) and the
current beta (2.067.0-b2) the problem appeared. As Martin said, it's most
likely due to issue 314.

I think an alias should be added and go through the standard deprecation path.
It's not impossible that other projects have the same problem.

I'm having a really hard time understanding this. On one hand you're suggesting
me to fix my code because of a breaking change. On the other hand you're
complaining about your old D1 code doesn't compile with the latest D2 compiler
[1]. But as always, I will fix my code to be able to continue compiling it and
finding more breaking changes [2].
