At this point, I'd like to stick to doing pulls only to fix regressions. Time to do a release.

Actually, it should be 2.057. 2.056 has already been released. It's also a bit weird to use alpha in the title and mark the file as beta.

Shouldn't it be 2.057 beta, not 2.056 alpha?

I found a really trivial regression caused by a combination of a pre-existing latent bug in std.range.lockstep and DMD enforcing const more strictly.  The fix is here:

Couple of issues with the docs:
index.html includes the redirect to d-p-l.org. This is wrong, you
should be able to see the docs for the version you've downloaded.

changelog is obviously not finished - bad formatting. the top section
"invariant is deprecated" is misleading consider rephrasing as
something like:
"invariant as a synonym for immutable is deprecated". New features
should probably have a mention of "classes, interfaces, and exceptions
are supported in CTFE".

Somehow std.boxer has reappeared in the sidebar. Ditto std.cover,
std.intrinsic, std.outofmemory, ...
I have a sense of deja vu with this. Did the correct sidebar file get
clobbered with an old one? Somebody changed the makefile for the docs
not so long ago, maybe it was done wrongly.

There's no linebreaks in the "DMD Bugs Fixed" section of the changelog. There's also a missing line break towards the end of "New/Changed Features".

In one of my programs I'm getting:

D:\DevTool\dmd2beta\dmd2\windows\bin\..\..\src\phobos\std\regex.d(6576): Error: cannot implicitly convert expression (m) of type Captures!(string,uint) to RegexMatch!(string,ThompsonMatcher)

Which isn't very helpful. I'm tracking down the code that's triggering it...

Test case:

import std.regex;
void main()
{
    std.regex.replace!(
        (RegexMatch!string m) { return ""; }
    )( "", regex("") );
}

That's the breaking change, and there is no way out of it. This one
should work:
std.regex.replace!(
        ( m) { return ""; }
    )( "", regex("") );

or

std.regex.replace!(
        (Captures!string m) { return ""; }
    )( "", regex("") );
