I just released a new version of DVM, 0.4.2. The biggest news for this 
release is that the source code has been ported to D2 and I'm bringing 
back support for 64bit platforms. Except from this it's mostly a minor 
release.

For pre-compiled binaries and changelog (or below) see: 
https://github.com/jacob-carlborg/dvm/releases/tag/v0.4.2

For those not familiar with DVM:

DVM allows you to easily download and install D compilers and manage 
different versions of the compilers.

Changelog:

Version 0.4.2
   New/Changed Features
    * Ported to D2
    * Add support for fetching the latest version of the compiler
    * Bring back support for 64bit

   Bugs Fixed
    * Fails to get the latest version of the compiler

so this is a tool which could build dmd & phobos from git master 
branch(or any else) and later switch between that newly build 
version and 2.064 release?

Unfortunately no. It can build DMD and Phobos from git master but you 
cannot currently install that. It's mostly focused on installing 
releases of DMD. But you can install the build from git master manually. 
Have a look in ~/.dvm. What you need is ~/.dvm/compiler/dmd-<name> and 
~/.dvm/env/dmd-<name> where <name> is a name or version number for the 
specific compiler.
