I think we should fix bug 9427 "wrong code for 'struct S{ union{
int[2] i; } }',  64 bit only" before making a release.

At a brief glance:

Good: Wow, that was fast! Back down to a one month cycle and yet an enormous amount of big compiler fixes.

Bad: I see we're still sticking to awful new "changelog that doesn't log any changes" format :(

Ugly: The CSS file doesn't get found and picked up when viewing the off-line HTML docs.

Also: It's a 30MB download, *174MB extracted*, and the vast majority of that is platform-specific binaries. On Windows, stripping the non-Windows binaries eliminates *over 100MB*.

Isn't it about time we start splitting this giant into per-platform
downloads? Finally?

I'm currently trying to update the documentation generator for the new JSON output format and when compiling phobos staging, I get a number of errors stating that the argument passed to typeof() is not an expression (it's a type). Does the beta use a different branch or how is it possible that the code compiled successfully there?

By the way, I had the same problem that Phobos didn't compile quite often in the past, maybe it's a consequence of compiling all of Phobos and Druntime with one compiler invocation?

Other than that the beta seems to be fine except for
http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=9397 - I cannot really test further because a large
code base depends on this extensively.

The platform specific ones are done on the release.

A workaround was possible and further testing did not show up problems for me.

There is one nasty low-level wrong-code that I think we should fix before making a release.

9427 wrong code for 'struct S{ union{int[2] i; } }',  [64 bit only]

Yes, there is a Windows-specific install.
