Should I use a specific release of vibe.d instead?

If so should I give a specific version to

    dub init

or to

    dub

?

I believe I need git master instead of latest release because of

https://github.com/rejectedsoftware/vibe.d/commits/master

If I change

    "vibe-d": "~>0.7.19"

to

    "vibe-d": "~master"

followed by

    dub upgrade

and

    dub

I instead get

Package vibe-d can be upgraded from ~master to 0.7.20.
Use "dub upgrade" to perform those changes.

What is the syntax for specifying a specific package version (in my case ~master) when calling dub init?

I hit this myself also. I was trying to use the master branch DMD, druntime, and phobos with a recent vibe.d for building the documentation with ddox, and I ran into the reliance on std.metastrings.

I got things to work after some cleanups of the DUB installations. I don't know exactly how...but no things work :)

I had the same problem just now... on  Win8.1 with
- DMD32 D Compiler v2.066.0
- DUB version 0.9.21

The workaround is to manually update the "dub.json" file of your project, which was written from "dub init", to the latest vibe-d info on "http://code.dlang.org/packages/vibe-d", so


"dependencies": {
		"vibe-d": ">=0.7.21-beta.1"
	},
