DMD 2.042

A memory corruption bug was introduced in DMD 2.041, so Walter has released a new version, 2.043, with the fix. He didn't stop there, though, as there are several other bugs squashed as well.

DMD 1.057 and 2.041

Walter has pushed out new versions of the D compilers. Version 1.057 comes with a number of bugfixes and a handful of new additions. Version 2.041 got a lot of goodies, a couple of the big ones being a new way to do operator overloading and interface contracts. D rocks!

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.

DMD 1.054 and 2.038

Walter has given us a New Year's gift in DMD 1.054 and 2.038. As usual, there are bugfixes in both (several this time) and a few new features in the latter. Of particular interest in D2 are the auto ref and inout functions, and template auto ref parameters. Now I need to find the time to wrap my head around all of this. Anyone have any extra to spare?
