Soon.  I'm praying that I can figure out makefiles in that time to check 
std.parallelism in, since I think they're harder to work with than 
multithreading.  (Ok, I'm exaggerating.)  Among the other major 
improvements in this release:

std.net.isemail

massive GC optimizations for large allocations (~25% for very small ones 
to several hundred fold for huge ones)

core.cpuid works on 64-bit

temporary object destruction

massive amounts of CTFE fixes
