First beta for the 2.070.0 release.

Still a few things missing from the changelog, there is a new package std.experimental.ndslice, and native (DWARF based) exception handling on linux.

http://dlang.org/download.html#dmd_beta http://dlang.org/changelog/2.070.0.html

Please report any bugs at https://issues.dlang.org

Any hope for this?

It's been bugging a lot of people lately.

Well, this still needs a lot of work that nobody was did.
Walter spend almost the whole release cycle on EH, I spend a huge amount
of time on nightlies/install scripts and was away half of the cycle. So
while I still think 313&314 should be one of our main priorities, it
seems I couldn't convince anyone.

Regression?
Found when compiling dub-package scriptlike (struct Path).

#!/usr/bin/env rdmd
struct S {
    this(string r = ".") {
    }
}

void main(string[] args) {
    S s;
}

./foo.d(9): Error: variable foo.main.s default construction is disabled for type S
Failed: ["dmd", "-v", "-o-", "./foo.d", "-I."]

It works with dmd 2.069.2.
I think this has been discussed and is intentional.
I would suggest clearly mentioning it in the changelog.

Thanks for reporting. It's not acceptable to break code like that without a proper deprecation cycle. https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15515

Please test the beta.
I immediately found several bugs while testing libraries [¹], one of
which in gfm (affecting a couple of dependent packages) [²] and another
one in ae-graphics.
We've already lost one week w/o fixing those blockers, so again please
help and test the beta.

In case you don't already use Travis-CI or something similar, you should start doing so. Testing the latest beta in Travis-CI is as simple as adding dmd-2.070.0-b1 to your .travis.yml [³] (and we'll soon make it even easier adding support for dmd-beta and dmd-nightly).

Can one request for adding projects to this?

The introduction of "message" in Throwable is a breaking change [1], but I guess it's not worth reporting an issue for.

[1] Error: class tango.text.xml.SaxParser.SAXException use of object.Throwable.message() is hidden by SAXException; use 'alias message = Throwable.message;' to introduce base class overload set
