I just released a new version of DVM, 0.4.2. The biggest news for this release is that the source code has been ported to D2 and I'm bringing back support for 64bit platforms. Except from this it's mostly a minor release.

For pre-compiled binaries and changelog (or below) see: https://github.com/jacob-carlborg/dvm/releases/tag/v0.4.2

For those not familiar with DVM:

DVM allows you to easily download and install D compilers and manage different versions of the compilers.

Changelog:

Version 0.4.2
  New/Changed Features
   * Ported to D2
   * Add support for fetching the latest version of the compiler
   * Bring back support for 64bit

  Bugs Fixed
   * Fails to get the latest version of the compiler

so this is a tool which could build dmd & phobos from git master branch(or any else) and later switch between that newly build version and 2.064 release?

Unfortunately no. It can build DMD and Phobos from git master but you cannot currently install that. It's mostly focused on installing releases of DMD. But you can install the build from git master manually. Have a look in ~/.dvm. What you need is ~/.dvm/compiler/dmd-<name> and ~/.dvm/env/dmd-<name> where <name> is a name or version number for the specific compiler.
