I was just updating a project's .travis.yml file and noticed: It doesn't seem we have any one-stop-shop location to check all the versions of DMD/LDC/GDC currently available on travis-ci.

It's be really nice if we had some auto-updated chart like that which ALSO listed the DMDFE, LLVM and GCC versions each LDC/GDC version is based on.

That info seems especially difficult to find for GDC. It's a little easier for LDC, since I found this page ( https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/releases ), but it'd be really nice to have just a simple chart somewhere.

The GDC downloads page has this info:
http://gdcproject.org/downloads

Perhaps it would be good to add this info to the main downloads page:
http://dlang.org/download.html

The page doesn't have the history of versions available at Travis though, which is what Nick asked for.

I agree, by the way, something like that would definitely be nice to have. Somebody just needs to write a little scrapper set up to gather everything into a pretty table…

That page only has info for the latest GDC. I couldn't find the info for previous versions.
