D v2.100.1 (released Jul 15, 2022)

today is 15 August.

still, cannot download v2.100.1.

I don't know the reason.

All I can say, is that it looks pretty poor.

It could be time zone?

The release process is being updated, but there are a few snags.

If you want the newest updates sooner, you can check out the nightly build on GitHub:

I would find it a nice read to know the background on the "release process is being updated" changes in the dlang ecosystem. Was it announced somewhere on the forum (and I missed it somehow)?

It's just the usual "someone trying something new that doesn't work initially and breaks it for everyone else" concept, only found within D.

It's a feature at this point that someone just decides to do something new without any real feedback, testing or critical thinking done beforehand.

The fact this has been ongoing for so long is almost embarrassing.

No, it's not. Someone who registered the official servers/certificates is no longer active in the community, and those registrations expired.

They are working on setting up a more robust system.

It's been discussed in Foundation meetings, which have summaries posted on the Announce board, e.g.:

I gave an update on the status of our plans to bring all of the ecosystem services under our control.

Iain went through the release process with Martin Nowak so that he could learn how it's done. He didn't yet have the secrets to upload to the S3 servers, but he was planning to upload the 2.100.0 beta once he got them (and that was announced on April 22).

There's been a problem with single volunteers being responsible for maintaining critical ecosystem services, and we're trying to step away from that by giving more people access to these services.

if github nightly is usable, why not just upload release to github? like LDC did.

We've basically sorted out where to host the release, they're currently being transferred as I write this, the thing that's really blocked this is that the human side of releasing a D release has changed and how the cryptographic signing is done is changing too. This requires spending money so progress hasn't been as fast as it necessarily should've been.

Personally I think we should use Github releases for more things but that side is done now.
