Hello all,

Having just successfully build GDC 4.7, I noticed that it still contains only frontend/phobos 2.059.

Is there any chance of seeing 2.060 merged in?  One of the main reasons for building from source was to gain certain bugfixes and improved functionality (including code that I wrote) with GDC, that was not in the distro-packaged version.

On the other hand, I could always build on the basis of 4.8 sources ... :-)

Thanks and best wishes,

I just tried to merge the latest changes into the gcc 4.7 branch as I wanted to have the ARM fixes for crosstool-NG based cross compilers and it was easier than I thought. I hope I made no bad mistakes, but the test suite results look good: https://github.com/D-Programming-GDC/GDC/pull/37
