 * Prepend result `bin` directory to `PATH`
   (fixes behavior when a `dmd` binary was installed in `/usr/bin`)
 * Add support for the `debugDMD` build option on POSIX
 * Fix incorrect repository tree order when using `git` cache engine
 * Fix `rebuild` ignoring build options on the command-line
 * Automatically install KindleGen locally when building website
 * Update OptLink installer
 * Download platform-specific DMD release packages

Digger v2.3 (2015-06-14)
------------------------

 * Add `bisectBuild` bisect config option
 * Add `--with` and `--without` switches to control D components to build
 * Add `website` component for building dlang.org (POSIX-only)
 * Work around `appender` memory corruption bug with `git` cache engine
 * Various fixes

Digger v2.2 (2015-06-05)
------------------------

 * Fix `digger install` to work with `object.d`
 * Improve resilience of `digger install`
 * Add `--bootstrap` switch to build compiler entirely from C++ source
 * Replace usage of `git bisect run` with internal implementation
   * Bisection now prefers cached builds when choosing a commit to test
 * Allow customizing the set of components to build during bisection
 * Use git plumbing in git cache driver for concurrency and better performance
 * Don't cache build failures if the error is likely temporary

Digger is a tool for working with D's source code and its history. It can build D (including older D versions), customize the build with pending pull requests or forks, and find the exact pull request which introduced a regression (or fixed a bug). It comes with a web interface which makes building D from source trivial even for people new to D, Git or the command line.

When trying to build it I get a bunch of error in ae/utils/funopt.d. Here is just one:

ae/utils/funopt.d(301): Error: constructor std.getopt.GetOptException.this (string msg, Exception next, string file = __FILE__, ulong line = cast(ulong)__LINE__) is not callable using argument types (string)

I guess you're building with a version of D built from git? Just update, then.

Correct. After updating to the latest DMD using digger 2.3 I could build digger 2.4. Thanks.
