Copy that. I've done what I usually do when a RC is announced and found nothing except a small problem in unDead which was actually even not a regression.

Maybe there's not much feedback because there's not much problem. ;p

Yeah, I've been testing and haven't found anything broken.

:) had to say it didn't I.

I now have a "out of memory" error from dmd on one of my projects. I have 16GB of ram and 2.069 doesn't do this. I'll try dustmite.

Looking good so far.

Oh it's well worth to mention any update issues, in particular if we're breaking code to introduce problematic designs.

If the project is well maintained and relevant, just make a PR. https://github.com/MartinNowak/project_tester/blob/dd2afea122048dbcb90d0d9b637d31134a6a82ce/projects.xml#L94

I had Tango in mind. But one might argue that it's not relevant and not well maintained. But there's a couple of reasons why I think it would be good to test it:

* It's pretty conservatively written. No new fancy feature, or features that might be considered experimental. This is a good test base for finding breakage for code that has been working for years, the core features

* It doesn't get any new development, which means that the only likely reason for the code to not compile is because of a breaking change (accidental or intentional)

* Basically every single release of DMD during last couple of years has caused at least one breakage in Tango

I'm building with dub and this only happened once, I've tried using --force and I still don't get that error.

I fear there are more regressions that people can test for.

Currently we can't "dub test" release builds trough DUB.

If you do:

    dub test mypackage

it builds with flags -g -unittest -w -debug. (like a -b debug build + the -unittest flag)

But if you do:

    dub test mypackage -b release

it builds with flags -release -inline -O -w BUT NOT -unittest

Currently we can only "dub test" debug builds without anything dangerous.

Since a number of regressions are in the backend, that could be useful if DUB would let us test release builds in Travis-CI.
