= Breaking Changes for 0.99.7 =

0.99.7 cleans up a lot of code, resulting in breaking changes.
== tango.util.log ==

A lot of clean up in this package as we head toward a 1.0 release. The functionality is the same as before, but with less imports and some renaming to better suit the D language. Most typical usage requires an import of tango.util.log.Log only which, considered in isolation, has no notable change. Import tango.util.log.Config as a quick way to configure logger output to the console.

One real distinction is that log output now accepts the standard Stdout/Layout formatting, directly, without an interim buffer. This was adopted in the name of simplicity, while the prior lazy evaluation remains within method append().

== tango.io ==

 * !FileRoots deprecated in favor of !FileSystem
 * !GrowBuffer merged into Buffer module
 * !FileConst deprecated in favor of model.IFile
 * !FileScan deprecated in favor of tango.io.vfs.!FileFolder
 * The use of !FilePath and !PathView in !FileConduit is deprecated in favour of char[] paths
 * The use of !FilePath and !PathView in tango.io.compress.Zip was deprecated in favour of char[] paths.

=== tango.io.!FilePath / Path ===

Backslashes ( \ ) are no longer accepted as in !FilePath and !PathParser - use Path.standard before passing paths to them. Note that !FilePath will be reverted to do this by itself starting next release.

== tango.math.Math ==

math.Math.feq is now deprecated.

== tango.math.Random ==

Added a Kiss module in tango.math.random, based on struct instead and adding support for floating-point random numbers. Tango.math.Random is now deprecated, awaiting a version with richer functionality. Random.next and Random.shared.next are now 

{{{
#!d
import tango.math.random.Kiss;
Kiss.toInt();
Kiss.shared.toInt();
}}}

== tango.text.xml.!XmlPrinter ==

Deprecated in favor of !DocPrinter

== tango.util.container ==

New set of containers, to address concerns over prior collection package. Older package will be deprecated and removed before the 1.0 release

== tango.group ==

Deprecation period expired, so will be removed.

== tango.text.convert.Integer ==

Integer.Style and Integer.Flags have been removed from the API, and replaced with a more flexible formatting scheme to address various tickets. Would have been deprecated, except that D doesn't permit overloaded template names.

In general changing to the new style involves the following sort of transformations:
|| '''Old paramter(s)''' || '''New parameter''' ||
|| Integer.Style.Decimal || "d" ||
|| Integer.Style.Hex     || "x" ||
|| Integer.Style.Octal   || "o" ||
|| Integer.Style.Binary  || "b" ||
|| Integer.Style.Decimal, Integer.Flags.Prefix ||"d#"||
|| Integer.Style.Hex, Integer.Flags.Prefix ||"x#"||

However, the new scheme can support more formatting styles than the previous scheme.
For more details about the new format strings see the [http://www.dsource.org/projects/tango/docs/current/tango.text.convert.Integer.html API docs here].

== tango.text.Text ==

Same change as Integer (above).

== tango.text.Properties ==

Deprecated in favor of tango.io.stream.!MapStream

== tango.io.archive.Zip ==

This should have been in tango.io.compress, along with the other zip features, instead of being all alone in a discrete folder. Import tango.io.compress.Zip instead of tango.io.archive.Zip
