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

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.

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.
