 It would be nice if the release process could stop this from happening.


 I wrote a short piece on this topic : http://larsivi.net/node/114
 
 As it is, I will recommend against using this release for Tango users.

 Dancing the Tango


What if the community used some kind of continous integration methodology?  If
Walter updated a particular location with the latest and greatest dmd build,
then an automated process could grab copies of libraries (latest release and
svn version).  Compiling and running unit tests is a great start.

This could allow Walter, the Tango team, etc to get feedback prior to a
release.  I may be dreaming, but I could even imagine the automated
testing/integration process packaging functional combinations of compilers and
libraries together.  Then we could have tango, phobos, dmd, gdc, and llvmdc all
getting released together!
