The release candidate is planned for the 6th, so please take a moment to test this release. Instead of `dub upgrade --prerelease`, edit dub.selections.json directly and put 0.7.29-beta.2 as the vibe-d version (there is already an alpha version of 0.7.30 out, so the upgrade would pick that instead).

Main changes over 0.7.28:

 - Drops support for DMD frontend 2.066.x and below and adds support up
   to 2.071.0
 - Removes all deprecated functionality, as well as the libev driver
 - Contains considerable performance improvement for URLRouter
 - Contains a critical fix for the Json struct, which was prone to
   dangling pointers due to wrong alignment on x64
 - Hopefully removes all instances of "Manually resuming taks that is
   already scheduled" assertion failures

All changes:

Could you please, at one point, write documentation, or somehow otherwise describe the purpose of dub.selections.json?

There is something in https://github.com/dlang/dub/wiki/Version-management#basic-dependency-specification

Maybe I'll have the time to write a more formal documentation/specification at some point. But currently I'm still struggling with getting the most pressing things done. This is certainly a great contribution opportunity for anyone familiar with the concept.

I guess we should move this discussion to the regarding issue?

Is anyone actually familiar with the concept? :)

After a longer period of using:
  dependency "vibe-d" version="~cache-diet-templates"
branch, I gave it a try and realized a speed increase.
Unfortunately I made no measurements but my impression is Vibe is
becoming still faster and faster.

   Thats great!

When do you think the cache-diet-templates - feature will be available
in the master?

I should probably merge the branch into master now (so that it gets into 0.7.30) and keep it optional (-version=VibeCacheDietTemplates) so that it can get some broader real-world test coverage. I'll look into that ASAP (probably not today any more, though).

This is great.

Could you look into https://github.com/rejectedsoftware/vibe.d/issues/1512 ?

It is not a good first impression if the Hello World application fails to link when tried with `dub test`.

Thanks

This actually works with 0.7.29-beta.2.

I am sorry for the spam.

There are two problems after the upgrade.

1. subConfiguration "vibe-d" "win32" not applied to "vibe-d:core" https://github.com/rejectedsoftware/vibe.d/issues/1513

2. vibe-d/examples/http_server asserts when using win32 subconfiguration. https://github.com/rejectedsoftware/vibe.d/pull/1514

The previous build used "vibe-d": "0.7.26".
