1. We already have a 2.063.1 released. An update would be 2.063.2.

? Sorry, I might have some misunderstanding. 
Currently we can access the "2.063" release package from here.

http://dlang.org/download.html
http://downloads.dlang.org.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com/releases/2013/dmd.2.063.zip

Is this internally called by the name "2.063.1"?

Yes, and it is so tagged in github.


We already have v2.063 tag in git repository, so I've thought that 2.063 is different from 2.063.1. Is that incorrect?

The v2.063 was an aborted 'release'. 2.063.1 is what was released. (The compiler & libraries are unchanged, what happened was the documentation was fixed.)

 
2. I'd prefer to wait a bit to collect any more regressions before rushing out with an update.

OK. Waiting next "fix-up" release a while seems reasonable. In my opinion, one or two weeks would be good. But a month is a bit long to me.


I agree.

I think we should release 2.063.1, for these reasons:

- Regression bug 9122 is not actually fixed in 2.063 release although it's listed in fixed Phobos regressions

  Because current 2.063 release does not contain the fix for issue 10017.

  Actually that was the root cause of 9122, so it should have been contained in 2.063 release.

- 2.063 release has some regressions which was discovered after releasing.

  Issue 10215 - [REG2.063] const causes wrong float calculation

    This is serious wrong-code bug. This bug does not exist in git master.
    To fix the bug, we just need to recreate release package.

  Issue 10212 - [REG2.061] Segfault in mismatching delegate literal types

    It's old regression bug, but should be fixed as soon as possible.

  Issue 10197 - [REG2.063] Cannot cast overloaded template property result

    Already fixed in git master.

From now I'll push some trivial changes to 2.063 branch which I think these are necessary for 2.063.1.

And I'll remove 2.063.1 tags for a moment. I think tagging should be done after the release done, but it's not yet released.
