The web interface has been down since about July 22 (and the "internal 
server error" message has been showing up ever since). The problem is 
that the old web interface software doesn't work on the new 64-bit 
server. Jan is working on finding a replacement system.

http://lists.puremagic.com/pipermail/digitalmars-d/2006-July/006956.html

I don't know whether the new system will have the same URL's as the old 
system, but perhaps it will be close enough that the old URL's will 
still be of use.

Well, I knew that, my question was more if you can see then internally 
or something, and how are we to know which bugs they are? ^_^

Hum, I've just noticed the links now work, so now we know. :)

The links to the digitalmars.D group are still broken, because the pnews 
software apparently crashes from the large number of postings. Methinks 
it must be internally using a 'short' to represent the message number.

Well, it's open source (and afaik PHP), so someone so inclined should be
able to debug and maybe even fix.

Yup, error reports about the exact same symbols accessed thru different 
means.

Excellent. I'm particularly glad to see bug 279 fixed so soon. Thanks!

I do note, however, that in the fix, you've created a distinction between 
two different kinds of inner classes, those that refer to local variables 
and those who don't.

Those who don't access local variables work as they always have (and thus, 
no old code is broken).

Those who do access local variables can only access them until the 
containing method returns, just as with inner functions, but (not too 
surprising when you know the internals) can _also_ only access members of 
the containing class until the containing method  returns, because (I 
suppose) access to the containing class now goes through the "this" local 
variable of the method, instead of directly through the context pointer as 
usual.

===
abstract class Inner { abstract void print(); }

class Outer
{
    int memberVar = 123;

    Inner inner;

    this()
    {
        int localVar = 42;

        inner = new class Inner
        {
            void print() { printf("%d %d\n", memberVar, localVar); }
        };
        inner.print();
    }

    void print() { inner.print(); }
}

void main()
{
    Outer o = new Outer(); // prints 42 123
    o.print();             // prints two garbage numbers
}
===

If the test-case above is modified to only access memberVar, everything 
works as expected.

Depending on how deliberate this is, this will need to be either documented 
or fixed (by having not one, but two content pointers in the inner classes 
that require it, perhaps).

In either case, I'm very happy with this release, so thanks again!
