If I understand correctly the "this.outer" issue was resolved by slightly modifying the language. If that's correct, does it deserves an entry in the changelog besides the fixed issue? -- /Jacob Carlborg

It's just fixing the existing typing. Before you would get the nested functions context pointer typed as outer class, now you correctly get the outer class through the function context.

You need the module to be contained in a package. It's pretty old, AFAIK.

Compiler is probably confused by the absence of package to test the package protection against. It probably shouldn't be an error.

Thanks. That's good to know. I've updated the FreeBSD port to fetch one of the files (I chose to use the freebsd-64 file but it can use any of the other files) and use it to build the port/package. It builds and packages nicely. ~Cy

We've deprecated the combined package b/c of it's sheer size and uselessness. Each platform specific package does contain the source code as well.

http://downloads.dlang.org/releases/2.x/2.071.0/dmd.2.071.0.zip is a 404. I know the all-platform .zip files are wasteful, but any practical reason for removing them? Unless the hosting cost is not negligible, breaking existing tools/scripts may not be worth it.

Sorry that you missed that, it's been decided and discussed several times since half a year ago that we want to get rid of the huge useless downloads, even more so since we're releasing much more often.

No problem. In this case it was two personal tools on my home and server machines, not Digger. For my home machine I would actually benefit from having all platforms in one file, since I can run the Windows version via Wine. But if no one else needs this then it's fine.

Me too. I actually download more bytes now than before because I need two of the things. But it isn't a huge deal either. At least the directory structures are the same so I can unzip one on top of the other and have it work.

I just updated one of my projects from 2.069.0 to 2.071.0, and saw the build time jump from ~1.7s to ~2.5s. Take this single informal data point with a huge grain of salt obviously, but I am also curious about the details of this. DMD's speed is one of D's selling points to me, and I might roll back until performance improves if there isn't a straightforward fix. Agreed though, otherwise a great release.

Late to the party, but congratulations and great work on another impressive release! Thanks to everyone involved! Just wanted to report a very large decrease in build performance. Compare a debug build on Ubuntu 16.04 64-bit with ld.gold. with 2.070.2: real 0m9.775s user 0m9.036s sys 0m0.700s with 2.071.0: real 0m45.011s user 0m41.760s sys 0m3.144s Since this release is not critical for us, despite including many great changes, we will also stick to DMD 2.070.2 and hope for a fix in a future release, if at all possible.

There is an issue by now https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15988, but I can't reproduce any serious slowdowns with vibe-d, Higgs, or dcd comparing 2.069.2, 2.070.2, and 2.071.2-b4.

Hah, and just like last time I notice this right after you :-) I think part of the problem with the release procedure may be that the build-a-release script actually auto-overwrites the VERSION file content, so the problem is hidden unless one tries to build directly from source the manual way: https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/pull/5382#issuecomment-177545916 Assuming that we want to continue relying on the VERSION information (which makes sense for e.g. users building from tarballs rather than git clones), might it make sense to change the build script to _validate_ the VERSION info, forcing the maintainer to correct it if there is a mismatch?

Or maybe something is wrong with source based Linux distributions in this time and age. I don't know. But I'm glad that you fire proof the source bundles first, before I move my lazy ass to update DMD packages for Gentoo.

:) I must admit I took the easy path and simply added `echo $pkgver
