And apparently we did something wrong - somehow we fell in minutes from position 11 to position 41. -- Andrei

from the reddit thread:
>Anyone know if there's been any comparisons of different heapSizeFactor values? Primarly, compared to the default 2, 1.5 or 1.618.

has anyone working on the GC actually done any comparisons of the new options?

That's a good idea. Maybe use separate files for each changelog entry (which are then combined into into the actual changelog by the dlang.org makefile). Then there wouldn't be merge conflicts with basically every pull request.

Something like:

changelog/v[upcoming dmd version]-[bugzilla issue number]-[github username].log

(e.g., changelog/v2.068.0-314-9rnsr.log)

Just noticed you mention merge=union. That's a neat feature. I'd never seen it before.

and even single `alias this` is broken, so deadcode can't be build with 2.067. i told about that, but nobody cares, as usual.

it is, but it's still "opt-in" feature.

Was it filed at issues.dlang.org as a regression?

nope, it's not. i was asking for help in "general" (building minimised sample), but nobody was interested. neither do i, actually, as i believe that `alias this` is an abomination and ugly hack. maybe Kenji will fill the bug if he'll find a time for that.
