Because that goes against the grain of what a point release is supposed to be. It's only for regressions, it is not for adding more features, etc. The latter is for the next version, 2.064.

Ok, I've closed the report.

It might be worth pulling the fix for the __MODULE__ bug once the pull request is green:

http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=10339 https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/pull/2165

__MODULE__ was introduced in 2.063, so it may be considered a
regression -- worth pulling into the 2.063.2 release.

Technically, it's not a regression. If we open the door to general bug fixing, there's no end to it.

What you try to prevent in general is clear. Though in this specific case the change is one simple line of code to complete the implementation of __MODULE__ from 2.063. As a user I'd expect such "hot fixes" and regression fixes to make it into a point release.

Best regards,
