It's a little bit of a throwback to be going back to DMD 1.028, but I figure that having something stable is better than having something that's up-to-date.  The main reason is to avoid Bug #2064, which was causing some issues with DWT.

This is a big update, giving a debugger, DDL, and Arclib to the 0.4.x line.  Also, given that I was having some troubles with DWT's new 3.4m7 line, I opted to hold at revision 212 for DWT in order to give it a little bit longer to stabilize just a bit more.

DDBI, however, got kicked out because in the changes to the logging system in Tango caused DDBI to no longer compile.  When that gets fixed I'll add it right back.  I just didn't want to hold this release any longer, since there are a lot of good additions here that I wanted to see with a stable compiler.

For those of you without administrator access to your computer, I also wrote a small batch file which temporarily changes the path variable for you, and then starts a command line.  That way you can get away without having to mangle your path permanently.

I also tried compressing it with 7Zip, so you have the option of having five fewer megabytes to download if you wish.  Not everyone has 7z, so I also made a normal zipfile.

As always, feel free to make any suggestions and I'll see what I can do.

When I try to download the zip file it says "Invalid/empty data or corrupted file"

It would be nice if you put some information about what the package contains on the website with every release, the containing packages and the version of the packages for example.

Just fixed that, thanks for pointing it out.  For some odd reason it didn't copy a file...  that's strange, I'll have to remember to check for that before announcing in the future.

Yes, I do that normally, however, the software randomly decided to not display that information even when I put it there.  I was far too tired to try and fix that last night, but I just finished doing that, so there should be something there now.
