$(COMMENT Pending changelog for 2.071. This will get copied to dlang.org and
    cleared when master gets merged into stable prior to 2.071.
)

$(BUGSTITLE Library Changes,

$(LI $(REF GCAllocator.goodAllocSize, std,experimental,allocator,gc_allocator)
was added.)
$(LI High-level API of $(STDMODREF net_curl, std.net.curl) now uses $(XREF array, Appender)
for received content. Which generally makes all calls slightly faster. Up to 200ms for large
amounts of data.)
$(LI $(XREF std_meta, Repeat) was added to obtain a repeating
$(XREF std_meta, AliasSeq) consisting of template arguments.)
$(LI $(D fold) was added as an alternative to $(D reduce) with argument order swapped.)
$(LI $(RELATIVE_LINK2 nextPow2, Added nextPow2 and truncPow2 to std.math.))
$(LI $(REF bsf core,bitop), $(REF bsr core,bitop), and $(REF popcnt, core,bitop) now
work with ulongs on 32 bit systems.)
$(LI $(REF topN std,algorithm,sorting) is now 5% - 7% faster.)
$(LI $(RELATIVE_LINK2 unary, Unary overloads of $(REF startsWith std,algorithm,searching) and
$(REF endsWith std,algorithm,searching) were added.))
$(LI $(RELATIVE_LINK2 maxCount, $(REF maxCount std,algorithm,searching) and
$(REF maxPos std,algorithm,searching) were added.))
)

$(BUGSTITLE Library Changes,

$(LI $(LNAME2 nextPow2, Added nextPow2 and truncPow2 to std.math.)
    $(P $(REF nextPow2, std,math) and $(REF truncPow2, std,math) are functions for
    rounding numbers to powers of two.)
------
import std.math;

assert(nextPow2(10) == 16);
assert(nextPow2(4000) == 4096);

assert(truncPow2(10) == 8);
assert(truncPow2(4000) == 2048);
------
)

$(LI $(LNAME2 unary, Unary overloads of $(REF startsWith std,algorithm,searching) and
$(REF endsWith std,algorithm,searching) were added.)
------
import std.algorithm.searching;
import std.ascii : isAlpha;

assert("abc".endsWith!isAlpha);
assert(!"ab1".endsWith!(a => a.isAlpha));

assert("abc".startsWith!isAlpha);
assert(!"1ab".startsWith!isAlpha);
------
)

$(LI $(LNAME2 maxPos, $(REF maxCount std,algorithm,searching) and
$(REF maxPos std,algorithm,searching) were added.)
$(P Previous to this addition, in order to get the number of the greatest
elements, you had to use `minCount!"a > b"`, which was very confusing.
This change adds convenience functions to fix this issue.)
