From my side, when I test a DMD release I just open 1 by 1 the things in metad (https://github.com/BBasile/metad/tree/master/repos) ,compile them, some of the projects have a unittest "config" and I run it as well. It's clear that there's a risk of compilation success because templates are not instantiated...

Latest two rlz i've found regressions like that but this time it's ok.
Regressions for 2.070 must be on very edgy things.

Makes sense https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dub/issues/747. The compiler does check assertions in unittest blocks even in release builds, right?
It's really trivial to add so you might have a try yourself https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dub/blob/3ab683b023bd58dd101e110cf2f6199911eb7477/source/dub/package_.d#L307.
In the meantime it's possible to define a custom build type http://code.dlang.org/package-format?lang=json#build-types.

Very pleased to say that all of DlangScience worked with this beta, no regressions/breakage.

Both my projects and EMSI's build and pass their tests with this beta.

Yes, just verified. Actually, it doesn't matter where the assertion is placed, as long as -unittest is passed.

Another surprise.

I'm missing changelog entry for

- new algorithm `std.algorithm.comparison.either`
- update for return type of `findSplit*` enabling bool-conversion in for instance

if (const hit = haystack.findSplit(needle))
{
    // use hit
}

Has anyone built a Windows program with the beta? I tried and got undefined identifier HWND, but have been unable to minimize the test case and it might be just my install not being clean.

Works for me to build Visual D, though it uses it's own windows headers most of the time. There are a few tools that use HWND from core.sys.windows that seem ok.

I noticed the installer downloads Visual D 0.3.42, this should be updated to the latest version: https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/installer/pull/164

There is a changelog for each project, those entries should be part of PRs. https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/phobos/blob/7f24ccfeb503445dc56fee0c3e7ee41268ef80a5/changelog.dd
