We've moved away from AWS and are now using Backblaze (with free bandwidth, thanks to the Bandwith Alliance and our use of Cloudflare). All 235.2 GB of DMD downloads have been moved. Iain can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe this is active right now, so anything you download from downloads.dlang.org will come from there. As for the code-signing certificate, we're trying to decide on an option that's best for us. In the meantime, the last I heard, Martin Nowak was going to put out a release of 2.100.1 without signing the Windows executable. The new download archive on Backblaze is still on stand-by for now. After the 2.100.2 release proper has gone out, we'll make the switch. What is active right now on Backblaze is the revival of https://docarchives.dlang.io | |||

I remember that talk, and it was very interesting. Congratulations! -Steve Thank you! The process takes several times longer than anticipated, but we are not giving up :-) Although it is an important milestone, it doesn’t mean we can now all code in D. Almost all commits still happen in Pascal. I have started transpiling every commit separately, to create a commit history in D that overlaps the Pascal history for some period. Next week we plan on using the D versions of our software internally, to expose a larger surface area to testing and scrutiny. This is arguably a bigger milestone. What we all look forward to the most is the last milestone though, where we’ll freeze the Pascal repository and switch from programming in Pascal to programming in D overnight. — Bastiaan. | |||
