First beta for the 2.077.0 release.

This release comes with a new, more compact mangling, templated vector operations, reproducible dmd builds, and various fixes.

http://dlang.org/download.html#dmd_beta http://dlang.org/changelog/2.077.0.html

We also switched dlang to use `-beta.1`, `-rc.1` suffixes for pre-releases, matching dub and semver.

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

NB: Switching dlang to use semver is in discussion, but required to adapt the release and development processes (also see https://gist.github.com/mdparker/ab61a1309752905cf93acb2653c50beb).

Congratz, looking forward to the new compact mangles and SIMD improvements.

Mangling is solely due to Rainer Schütze's persistence.

Indeed that wasn't mentioned, the vectorized array ops were preceded by lots of improvements in dmd's SIMD code. Those were already released with 2.076.0.

Most notably:

Yes, thanks Rainer!

And thank you, Martin, for those!

Second beta live now. This adds a missing core.sys.linux.netinet.in_ header which is used by vibe.d.

Happy Testing

First release candidate for 2.077.0.

The OMF Windows API import libraries were updated, a bug in std.bigint was fixed, and the version identifier for `-betterC` is now `D_BetterC`.

Glad we can use arrays ops back! Thanks.

Thanks, i have no problem here with the RC, tested it well, though looking at the log there would be no reason why i would have.

Actually there's a REG  :/

a 192 bytes leak is created by the GC, just with an empty main.
Also i don't know how this is possible but travisCI runs with DMD 2.077 by default (even if not released).
