Homeward Bound

I'll be heading to Atlanta, GA, USA on Feb 13th and will be in the Atlanta area (except, perhaps, for a short jaunt to Texas) until March 3rd. If any of you D folk are in the area and would like to get together for a brew or two, drop me a line at aldacron@gmail.com.

DMD 1.056 and 2.040

New versions of the DMD compiler have been pushed out: 1.056 and 2.040. Both versions sport a number of new features and bugfixes, including new toys to play with in CTFE. This is the first release to take advantage of the new beta mailing list, which you may want to look into joining if you haven't already.

This post originally referred to DMD 1.055 instead of the correct 1.056 release. Sorry for any confusion.

DMD 1.055, 2.039 and the Beta Mailing List

Walter has released versions 1.055 and 2.039 of DMD as fixes for regressions in the previous release.

Also, there is now a public mailing list for anyone interested in beta-testing new DMD releases. The goal is to help cut down on regressions. So if you do join the list, be sure to test the betas announced there and give feedback to Walter.
