 And thank's a lot for this release. I was finally able to compile QtD
 almost without patching dmd (only patch from#3600). Getting rid of the
 forward reference bugs is a big milestone. We just have to make sure
 that there won't be regressions. Somebody mentioned a while ago about a
 service, that would build big D projects with the newest compiler
 version to avoid regressions. This idea I believe is worth discussing.


 I was wrong, there is still a forward reference bug in dmd, which I
 cannot reduce to a testcase, considering the size of the library.


 Have you tried
 http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=102
 ?


 WoW! I wonder why that patch is not already in DMD, since Don said that it
 passes the DMD test suite, and not only fixes 102, it also fixes 461,
 2386, 2654 and 2666, not counting a couple of already fixed bugs. I think
 Rainer Schuetze deserves a lot of credit, I think his practically at the
 same scale as Don fixing important bugs, I hope Walter realizes that and
 had him the DMD test suite as well (or even better, releases the test
 suite ;).
 
 Thanks for the quick release fixing the regressions!

 Just because you're paranoid, don't mean they're not after you.


I am all for it. The patch I have just posted in this thread is also by Rainer.
He has   done a significant amount of work to make dmd compile QtD.
