-On windows dmd the x86_omf architecture can now be used as platform
-specification using `--arch=x86_omf`. This is currently equivalent to
-the previously existing `--arch=x86` argument.

-`dub remove --non-interactive` will now remove all packages by default
-
-When calling a command with a package name and no version specification,
-the latest version is usually assumed.
-While this behavior makes sense for `dub fetch` or `dub run`,
-it can come  as a surprise when cleaning up local packages through `dub remove`,
-and so previous version would simply error out when more than one version was available.
-From this version, `dub remove -n $PKGNAME` will just remove all cached versions
-of the package named `$PKGNAME`, without asking you to use `$PKGNAME@*`.

-Running `dub upgrade` on a package-less folder is now a no-op
-
-Prior to this change, accidentally running `dub upgrade` in a folder
-where no `dub.json` / `dub.sdl` was present would leave you with a
-`dub.selections.json` and, in some instances, an empty `.dub` folder.
-This has been fixed and running `dub upgrade` where one shouldn't
-will now only generate a friendly error message.

-All commands now support `package[@<version-spec>]`, `--version` is deprecated
-
-`dub` commands had some disparity in their version handling.
-Most commands accepting a package name (e.g. `dub fetch` or `dub run`) supported
-either `package[@version-spec]`, or supported only `package` and accepted an
-option `--version=<version-spec>`.
-The latter form has now been deprecated and all commands now accept `package[@<version-spec>]`.
-Note that the absence of `@<package-spec>` still means "latest version" (except for `remove`).
