Is there a place where one can download the previous versions of DMD? E.g. 0.90+.

Don't know really! Maybe Walter can help you with the answer you are looking for! However, I'd say it's because you weren't smart enough to save the previous versions just in case you needed to revert back.

Andrew: DMD v0.92 is the oldest one I still have at home, but if you want it please send me a message to my email above, with an email addry you what me to sent the dmd.zip and dmc.zip to. I don't mind helping out another D programmer. :))

I've got 0.73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 86, 87, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95

(I've probably got earlier versions on the other server as well.)

I'm quite happy to pass these on, assuming Walter has no objections.

May dsource.org could host previous versions? (Again, this would require Walter's
consent.)

Nor do I David! I was just slightly preturbed by the rigors of my day job prior to visiting the site... It just added fuel to fire when Gold Dragan responded "Why the hell not?". My apologies!

I meant downloading the latest version of the compiler. I don't much care for the previous version. I would think "v.90+" meant versions .90, .91, and on up. I guess he should of said "v.90-" or "-v.90". I would of rather liked to have the latest as it makes more sense with bug fixes and new features.

I don't really understand the reason behind wanting anything below the latest. Then again most people don't understand me so we are even.

If you have something that worked in an old version, you may not want to update to a later version where it no-longer works anymore. At least in the short term.  For example you may be waiting for some user to update their libs for the latest version, in the mean time you continue to use the old version.  Also, in some cases newer versions of DMD have new bugs that effect old code.

Perhaps you should assume there is a sufficient reason. It might be to check for a possible compiler regression or it might be to make something work temporarily that turned out to work differently in a newer version.
