Eh, official definition of "breaking change" keeps breaking my heart. But I guess this is a mindset set in stone now and changing it is close to impossible.

One positive thing to add, though: a question was asked about automatic tools that can make required changes automatically when something breaking is introduced. Starting if next release standard flag will appear that will list all places in code that are subject to specific behavior change: https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/pull/2039

Also, about that "publicity" discussion. Currently only way to read D-related announcement on dlang.org (if you are not a forum explorer) is embedded Twitter stuff. It is not very informative and does not bring attention. What about doing proper news feed page on dlang.org (with RSS, yay!) and linking to posts there from #D_Programming ?

Torrents of the youtube videos (the "[HD]" archive.org page doesn't appear to be up yet): http://semitwist.com/download/misc/dconf2013/

I'm still not sure what the plan is on this, but Kickstarter backers should be informed that these videos are posted from the Kickstarter update system:

A request, sir: When posting these videos to /r/programming, would you mind also posting them to /r/d_language ? As a lower-volume, targetted subreddit, the links will stay near the "top" for longer there, and will be easier to find.

Regards,
Graham

Torrent/link for the full original quality video is up now, too.
