Congrats, but why are there still 6 Regressions / 34 Blockers 
open in Bugzilla? At least with the one that opens from the main 
D page /resouces/bugtracker.
Is this a different tracker that's not up to date?

Regarding regressions: I think the policy is to not release with 
new regressions. That is, regressions from before 2.068 don't 
block the release.

Regarding blockers: As far as I know, "blocker" doesn't mean a 
thing for releases. I think many of those have been labeled 
"blocker" because they block someone in their work, rather than 
blocking a release.

Aha. But if I look into the Regressions that are still open, they 
have been worked on and they have pull requests so to me they 
look pretty much closed. But the Bug Tracker list them as new - 
not even assigned to someone.

Yeah, I know. But even most of them are far from a state "new", I 
would think.
Maybe the state should reflect this progress better, because 
these 3000 open and unassigned bug give a much worse impression 
of the state of D than the language really is in.
People get easy turned away from D by that look, which I think 
would be easy to avoid.

Yeah, we don't really make use of the ASSIGNED status. Maybe we 
should.

I assigned the issues for which I have open pull requests to 
myself. But that's only 3 issues. I don't know how to get the 
heavy hitters to be more attentive in that regard.

I guess whenever one makes a pull request to fix an issue, the 
issue can be considered to be assigned to them. You could go 
through everything and assign issues to PR makers, but that'd be 
quite some legwork.

"3. Attributes for auto return function are now inferred."

This is a bad idea. What if I want/need to specify the return type but 
still want attribute inference? What if I don't want attribute 
inference, but I want the return type to be inferred?

Did you by any chance have dmd installed from the installer 
before-hand?

No, just installed brew last night.

Ah, that mentions that a bunch of paths aren't writeable and suggests I
chown them.

Warning: /usr/local/bin isn't writable.

Warning: /usr/local/etc isn't writable.

Warning: /usr/local/sbin isn't writable.

Warning: The /usr/local directory is not writable.

Might be something to do with corp setup.  brew install went fine but said
it was changing all those dirs to be group-writeable and group 'admin'.
But they don't appear to be so now:

$ ls -ld /usr/local/bin
drwxr-xr-x  77 root  wheel  2618 Aug 10 18:06 /usr/local/bin
Running the chmod and chgrp commands from the brew install over again does
allow the 'brew install dmd' command to complete without error.

/usr/local is Apple's domain on Yosemite now. IIRC, even root can't

Not true. AFAIK /usr/local is the only bit of /usr that *is* 
available for third-parties.

Ah, mixed it up with this tidbit:

    The /usr/local folder remains accessible, however; it's a
    long-running convention in Unix and variants as a place to stash
    material and software that individual users rely on. El Capitan will
    also remove files from those directories that don't belong to Apple.

So it isn't safe over an upgrade, but is accessible.

El Capitan doesn't delete non-Apple-controlled stuff from 
/usr/local/, but it will from e.g. /usr/bin/

Something that's not obvious about phobos `hexString` CT 
template, it's not reflected in the DDOC, but it works with the 
`import` expression, and i think it was the primary goal, for 
example if you have an hex dump that's likely to represent some 
ASCII chars, in a file named file.txt:

---
import std.conv;
writeln( hexString!(import("file.txt")));
---

Coedit users can use this easily because the folder of a runnable 
module is always added to the string import path (-J). For 
example they just have to put the dump files into the folder 
where stand the script...et voilà "compile file & run" works 
directly without error about the import() folder.
