i see that 2.066.1 is landed in GDC (heh, that was sudden! had to fix almost all my private patches...). is it still in testing stage, or it's already fully usable? and if it's usable, i believe that it worth announcing in "D.announce" NG.

I'd say testing stage. I'm still reducing one ARM codegen bug ;-)

Agreed.  I'd say it's only released when it hits branch.  Now it's in master, it allows people to test out their projects with it.

I also need to write up a formal changelog of what's gone in, what hasn't, and what has been backported from 2.067.

I'm very much looking forward to this release: my code depends heavily on the 2.066 multidimensional array syntax and I'm eager to find out if GDC can give me some extra performance.
As for testing the current state of GDC: is there a way to cleanly add this testing stage version to my build matrix on Travis CI, e.g. is a binary available somewhere?

but it is in branch! ;-) i'm building my compiler from 'gdc-4.9' branch, and it answers "2066L" on `pragma(msg, __VERSION__);`. that was the reason for my question in the first place.

p.s. please, don't revert it! ;-)

I will be updating docker images this weekend.

Sorry, I already updated the branches as I needed a 4.9.2 backport for testing. I should probably think twice about this next time :-)

i think that it was the right move. this way people who are using gcc 4.9 (me ;-) can test it too. not that i'm doing compiler unittests or so, but i'm working on my project with gdc, so there is a small chance to catch some bugs anyway.

Nah - I shouldn't have to have my finger dipped in everything.  It's just given me a list of more things to update today.
