Thank you, all 63!
This continuous progress makes me expect a great future for D!

I just looked at this again: http://erdani.com/d/downloads.daily.png
and it should be a great reward to see how adoption of D increases in the long run.

I just updated with Digger to the newest version and get:

Not sure what this is telling me. Related to the release?

Yes, it's probably related to the release.  Some runtime hooks were taken out of object.d and moved to `rt/array` to help set direction for a GSoC project that is in the process converting many runtime hooks to templates, and to help prevent object.d from becoming even more unwieldy than it already is.  Move such refactorings are planned.

I don't know what digger is doing, but from the error messages, it appears that the new files in `rt/array` can't be found.  I believe the build is trying to use a new compiler with an older or existing runtime.  You'll need both the latest compiler and the latest runtime together for them to work.

If you can identify a bug in the makefiles, or some other such problem preventing the build, let me know and I'll try to fix it right away.

I thought that Digger is building both and copies all necessary files on install. Do I have to build the runtime separatly?

Not sure I'm that competent to find it out but will dig ;-) around a bit.

So, the problem is, that digger somehow misses to copy over the new source to the install directory. It does for some parts (phobos, but I'm not sure if for every file necessary) but not for druntime files.

I just manually copied the files now.

The copy should take place when building druntime from the makefiles.  The files to be copied are listed at https://github.com/dlang/druntime/blob/12bcb73da97a0c26aaf4b943eabd3c25051a89da/mak/COPY#L405-L408 and, for Windows, should be copied https://github.com/dlang/druntime/blob/12bcb73da97a0c26aaf4b943eabd3c25051a89da/mak/WINDOWS#L1187-L1197 is executed.  But, I don't know if that happens or not with digger.
