  > - replace uint buffer lengths with size_t
  > - add line-by-line opApply to Stream and InputStream (due to Regan Heath)
  >   int opApply(int delegate(inout char[] line) dg)
  >   int opApply(int delegate(inout ulong n, inout char[] line) dg)
  >   int opApply(int delegate(inout wchar[] line) dg)
  >   int opApply(int delegate(inout ulong n, inout wchar[] line) dg)
  > - move readable/writeable/seekable tests from contracts to the body since phobos is compiled in release mode and users can easily try to write to an unwritable stream
  > - return "this" from writef and writefln to allow chaining (eg flush)
  > - fix TArrayStream read/write to check for "eof" (Derick Eddington)
  > - make SliceStream preserve the source buffer position if seekable and pay attention to isOpen (Derick)
  > - implement available() for more stream types (Derick)
  > - copyFrom bug fixes and position preserving if seekable (Derick)
  > - move the initialization of the BOMs to the initializer instead of the module constructor.
  > - make isopen protected (from private) so that subclasses can see it.
  > - more unittest (Derick and Ben)
  > - fix File.size() bug on Windows
  > - fix File.open() error message to say "Cannot open or create file"

### What's New for D 0.101

Aug 30, 2004

#### New/Changed Features

- Added Ben Hinkle's improvements to std.stream. Ben writes: "I've attached a modified version of std.stream and phobos.html that include the bug fixes and behavior changes outlined in the newsgroup post yesterday. The bug fixes are almost entirely backwards compatible. The biggest difference is the change that opening a file on Windows with FileMode.In errors when the file doesn't exist. That makes it the same behavior as Linux and it just seems to make sense. I also did things like added writef and changed the Error classes to Exception."
- Kris pointed out that version identifiers have global effect, and are dependent on which order modules are imported. This is clearly wrong. Now, only version and debug definitions on the command line have global effect. Others only influence the module they are declared in. Furthermore, version and debug definitions can only be done at module scope.
