Unfortunately I found a regression.  RefCounted is broken when a union is
part of the ref-counted object.  This breaks RegionAllocator, which is
supposed to be up for review for inclusion in Phobos.

Was this problem in the last beta?

No.  I assume it was caused by merging the format pull request.

Sorry for being a bit on the slow side, but again a question concerning 
the changelogs: changelog.dd in the DMD repo is missing the entries for 
2.054, so the DMD changelog is kept directly in the d-p-l.org repo? 
Should I submit a pull request for the DMD bugs I fixed, or do you take 
care of compiling the list, Walter?

There's a whole section on 2.054 - what is missing?

The names inside std.system.Endian were changed from UpperCamelCase to 
lowerCamelCase, which makes sense, but maybe the old names should still 
exist for migration?

The RDMD included in the beta hasn't been rebuilt from latest HEAD. It's 
still old and is missing some critical bugfixes that are already in HEAD.

Yu can't rename enum values without breaking code. Any final switches would be 
broken if you left in the old values as would anything using 
std.traits.EnumMembers. A simple renaming is caught and pointed out quite well 
by the compiler's spellchecker. So, it's simply a matter of renaming any uses 
of the enum values. No, it's not ideal, but there is no migration path which 
avoids immediately breaking code when it comes to renaming enum values. That's 
why I brought it up in the newsgroup previously, and no one said anything 
about preferring that the names of enum values not be fixed in Phobos in order 
to avoid code breakage. Fortunately, the uses of std.system.Endian should be 
fairly rare. Obviously, some code could use it quite extensively, but most 
code doesn't care about endianness, and most of the code that does, should be 
using version blocks for that anyway.

The zip file really should be created from scratch every time. It would avoid 
ever having cruft left behind in it or having the wrong version of something 
it (which has happened often enough in the past). But Walter hasn't wanted to 
do that for whatever reason.
