Could something be done about this one http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3600 ? That's a serious regression.

And thank's a lot for this release. I was finally able to compile QtD almost without patching dmd (only patch from#3600). Getting rid of the forward reference bugs is a big milestone. We just have to make sure that there won't be regressions. Somebody mentioned a while ago about a service, that would build big D projects with the newest compiler version to avoid regressions. This idea I believe is worth discussing.

I was wrong, there is still a forward reference bug in dmd, which I cannot reduce to a testcase, considering the size of the library.

Have you tried
http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=102
?

WoW! I wonder why that patch is not already in DMD, since Don said that it passes the DMD test suite, and not only fixes 102, it also fixes 461, 2386, 2654 and 2666, not counting a couple of already fixed bugs. I think Rainer Schuetze deserves a lot of credit, I think his practically at the same scale as Don fixing important bugs, I hope Walter realizes that and had him the DMD test suite as well (or even better, releases the test suite ;).

Thanks for the quick release fixing the regressions!

Just because you're paranoid, don't mean they're not after you.

This patch is no longer relevant. Here is the patch http://pastebin.com/m1bed188d that fixes compiling QtD with the current dmd (I also have to apply a patch from #3600). However I cannot really file a bug as I cannot reduce it to a testcase of a reasonable size. Any chance that this patch can be applied? Shall I submit it to the bugzilla then?

With RC's, you'll never need this.

Neither if people regularly test with the trunk build.

There is always the dmd svn trunk:
dsource.org/projects/dmd

But a "release is coming soon, please test" announcement would be nice.
