I need to add dmd 1.x to the auto tester at some point, but it's rather low priority, even if easy.  For now, it's all 2.x, though it doesn't really say that anywhere other than the checkout logs.

Starting a few minutes ago, there's now a linux x86_64 build that runs once an hour along with the rest.  It's only building right now since none of the tests pass yet, but this ought to help avoid regressions in buildability.

Yay for progress,

Cool!

A lot of the trolls claim that there has been no progress in D's development model, and I know it's making some people discouraged. I wonder if it's worth posting a list like this somewhere:

Feb  2006 -- D Bugzilla created
Oct  2007 -- Phobos in svn
Feb  2008 -- source for spec released, added to svn.
Feb  2008 -- first Phobos commit from someone other than Walter or Andrei
July 2008 -- 1000 fixed DMD bugs in Bugzilla. 40 bugfixes / month.
Sept 2008 -- druntime in svn.
Mar  2009 -- dmd backend source released
July 2009 -- dmd svn repository created
Oct  2009 -- full use of dmd svn (per-bug commits)
Jan  2010 -- mailing lists for internals, beta, phobos. First public beta.
June 2010 -- dmd test suite becomes public
July 2010 -- complete dmd test suite in svn
Aug  2010 -- 2000 fixed DMD bugs in Bugzilla. 70 bugfixes / month
Sept 2010 -- autotester for Linux x86
Oct  2010 -- autotester for Windows x86
Nov  2010 -- first DMD commit by someone other than Walter
Dec  2010 -- autotester for Linux x86_64

Well.. I think you just did. :)

LOL. True. But it's not in a place that very many people will see. It needs to be posted on the site somewhere if it's going to be seen. Whether it's worth posting on a web page or not, I don't know (particularly since many trolls will just always be trolls), but if we actually want that sort of information to be readily available, then a single post in the Phobos list certainly doesn't cut it.

It is interesting to see though.

I created a page for it at: http://www.prowiki.org/wiki4d/wiki.cgi?HistoryOfDevelopmentModelForDMD
