Some changes to the Mac OS X packages:

- the GDC package now includes 64-bit binaries too
  (that is: ppc, i386, ppc64, x86_64 architectures)

- the DMD binary tarball runs on Mac OS X 10.4 too
  (Phobos could also, if recompiled with 10.4u SDK)

LDC already comes bundled with Tango.

Great work, thank you! :)

Are there plans to release a Tango-LDC bundle any time soon?

Normally I wouldn't really care, but due to DMD's inability to actually treat warnings as warnings, this finally allows me to actually check my my own project for warnings without DMD deciding to complain and bail out before it gets to my code. So, I guess that's my roundabout way of saying thanks to the Tango crew for doing such a great job and taking care of those.

Thanks are largely due to Walter, I think, since he fixed a couple of warning-related bugs a few DMD releases ago. I never used to use -w, since it created so many nonsense warnings, but now I use it all the time and since the bugfixes, I've not seen a single case where it generated a spurious warning.
Most of those warnings could be turned into errors now, I reckon.

Cheers.

Regards, mike.

Yes. There will be a new release of LDC that comes bundled with Tango 0.99.8.

Great job, guys!

Why is the code full of duplicates (exit includes the failure case)?

scope(failure) {
	if(conn !is null)
		conn.close();
}
scope(exit) {
	if(conn !is null)
		conn.close();
}

Thank you all D falks. I hope I'll be sooner than later ready to join development efforts on D.

Cheers
