It should be, but it isn't. That's why Andrei sent out the call for a build master.

The next try.

I'm fairly certain that's not hours of typing/doing, but rather hours of wall clock time.  The dmd test suite takes a good while to run.  That said, I'm sure it can be better automated and make the human interactivity time even lower and the results much more automatic.

Looks good.  dstats, dfl and plot2kill all compile w/o a hitch. ParallelFuture required some very minor changes to its unittests because iota no longer works with chars, but I don't really consider this to be a regression because I don't think it was ever really intended to and I doubt anyone else was using it that way.

Thanks! While I sound a bit grumpy, I am really glad you're finding these issues.

Even better, now that we've squashed 3294 (http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3294) I can now do some wholesale bug fixing in std.range for the next release.

I wouldn't mark it fixed just yet. Rainer's patch is better than mine.

Changelog doesn't include the fixes made in the last couple of days, but everything else looks good to me. All tests pass, everything builds correctly.

Eight regressions fixed. Nine remain.
Eight horrible wrong-code bugs fixed. About six similar ones remain.
Support for FreeBSD.
Nice release.

What are the limitations of your fix?  Is it good enough to start using auto ref to fix all the nasty ref return issues in std.range?

My fix doesn't work with inout, Rainer's does. It should work for your uses.
