As far as I know, it's not intended change.
Please file it in bugzilla.

Hi,

I've tried the beta on Visual D, and it produces one error that reduces to

void main()
{
    auto sz = cast(long)null;
}

test.d(5): Error: e2ir: cannot cast null of type typeof(null) to type long

Any cast of null to an integer type seems to fail, but works in 2.066.

Is this a deliberate change?

We had some troubles with the documentation generation.
In order to not delay the beta even further the zip files don't contain
documentation, the dman tool is missing and there are no installers.
We'll try to deliver those subsequently or with the next beta.

Please try out the beta with any code you can compile and report issues
at https://issues.dlang.org/.

Once the beta is mirrored to ftp.digitalmars.com, it will also be
possible to test on Travis-CI using this line in you .travis.yml.

d: dmd-2.067.0-b2

A yet incomplete changelog can be found here.

I'd be particularly interested in getting any feedback for the various
GC improvements.

Happy Testing,
Martin
