And particularly thanks to Kenji and Walter for the fast bug fixing.

Congratz!

What exactly changed wrt C++ interop (changelog is not really helpful)?

Also, as I reported some time ago (as 2.067 changelog is the default from D main page for some time), link (in the "Version D 2.067 Mar 1, 2015") is broken

Arch Linux packages have been uploaded.

I am very grateful to Martin for handling this release. It was done very professionally and thanks to beta discussions/testing we did some great breakthrough in release stability by providing deprecation paths for several non-critical bug fixes. Also some intrusive runtime changes has been reverted to re-add them in next release with better migration experience - extremely pleased to see that too.

Congratulations to everyone involved! This is a significant release - really a change of phase in the community - because for the first time neither Walter nor I participated in the actual release process (except with engineering bits, Walter a lot more).

Congratulations, Martin!

Let's announce this more widely after the binaries become available.

I have one regret - the changelog is a lot more scarce than it should because it doesn't list (or link to) a complete list of bugfixes. The impression to first comers is that we have a release with 8 total items. Hardly impressive.

Also the date on the release in the changelog page is wrong - it remained "Mar 1, 2015" aka our "I have a dream" date :o).

Yes, amazing job. Let's gear up for the next release with http://wiki.dlang.org/DIP75 sooner! -- Andrei

Should be fixed by now, as announcement said "within a few hours". https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dlang.org/pull/920 https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dlang.org/pull/933

What I'm regretting more, is that I have to run after every contributor, bugging them 3 times to write a single changelog line.

One way to improve this would be to have changelogs in the dmd/druntime/phobos repo and make the entries part of the pull requests.

Congratulations!

Before launching it in the wild, can *mscoff.lib libraries included in the package?
