I just tried to upgrade my DMD from 1.041 to 1.046 and things aren't
working so well.
I see Tango is still based off 1.041 too.  So have the releases since
then all had problems?  Or are these two facts just a coincidence?

All releases are sent to Lars before going out so the Tango team can let 
me know if I broke something. I haven't heard any word that it has.

I'm kind of surprised that http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3167 wasn't caught then. It required several changes to Tango after 1.046 was released.

I did however send word that I didn't have time to test it this time around :)

1.43 works with Tango 0.99.8, but 1.44 introduced a breaking change that required a change in tango (which I've been told is in tango trunk). So 1.44+ requires Tango trunk, at least until 0.99.9.
Ok. Thanks for the info. I'm getting "Error: cannot assign to a function call" in several places even though I'm not assigning to a function call. My attempts to create a cut down repro have failed so far. --bb

Sure it's not http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3D3167 ? You might be passing the temp result of a function call to a function that takes a ref param.

Ok, thanks. That does seem to be the one. It was just well disguised by various operator overloads. The actual line of code was avg +=3D one_nth * v; But * calls opMul And the opAddAssign takes a ref so that it doesn't have to copy the argument (which could be pretty big). I guess I should just stick with an earlier version till we find out if the change is permanent for D1 or not. --bb
