First beta for the 2.072.0 release.

This release comes with many new phobos features, native TLS support on OSX, the first bunch of @safety enhancements (try -transition=safe), and a few smaller language and compiler additions.

This is also the first dmd release to include dub.

http://dlang.org/download.html#dmd_beta http://dlang.org/changelog/2.072.0.html

Unfortunately we still need to resolve a regression that causes issues with EncodingScheme.create (https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16291), you might run into problems when using std.net.curl.

In case you run into a yet unknown module cycle, this is
likely due to the fixed cycle detection.
We're still working on a -DRT-cyclecheck=printonly switch to allow
making those non-fatal.

Many thanks!

Nice work. One small issue link to Unrestricted Unions <http://dlang.org/changelog/2.072.0.html#unrestricted_unions>

http://dlang.org/changelog/2.072.0.html#unrestricted_unions does not work

It does work, there are simply no details.
Needs a bit more explanation though https://github.com/dlang/dmd/commit/3725a663d8aeec3350e81728173d76f429481fef#commitcomment-19255521.

Thanks.

After compiling something that worked fine I've started to get some strange errors message about some very simple OOP things ("stuff.x" does not override anything...repeated many times). When I've tried to execute only the module containing the classes related to the error message, I've received:

"object.Error@src/rt/minfo.d(356): Cyclic dependency between module ... and ..." + the list allowing to detect the cycle.

It was compiling fine with 2.071.2. I cant say if this is a regression or not.
If not it would mean that the previous management of the static ctor hided a problem ?

Otherwise 2 other regressions found, one is not yet identified.

Sorry, but when new libs will be included?
XML (from GSoC) https://github.com/lodo1995/experimental.xml
std_data_json https://github.com/s-ludwig/std_data_json

I think it's better to include them now to std.experimental to help people start adopt projects to them.

They are not good enough to be included into Phobos. --Ilya

It would be nice if the changelog, for the deprecated language constructs, contained information on what to use instead, if one is using them.

In theory there is a special page:

Yes, that's how it should be, but don't both deprecations contain enough information to replace old code?
Also here is the changelog if you want to improve it.
