Hi all!

Alexey did some hard work and merged the latest dmd release 2.066.0 into merge-2.066 branch. Try out if you like to live on the bleeding edge!

Regards,
Kai

DMD 2.066 release seems to have had some serious problems, Jordi's d-apt is waiting for 2.067 staying on 2.065. Will LDC suffer equivalent issues or were they nothing to do with the language spec per se?

I think by the time LDC side of things is settled, 2.066.1 should be out already

OK, I'll switch to the branch and build that for my working ldc2.

Hi Russel,

I did not follow the discussion about the regressions but my understanding is that most of them are problems in the semantic phase. Then LDC is affected.

This is true. However, as most of the regressions are already fixed on the 2.066 branch, we can simply merge the head of the branch instead (or wait for 2.066.1) before folding the changes into LDC master.

Best,
David
