Nice writeup of the major features of this release, think it 
really helps.

Typo in blog post - dramtically

Also, changelog still lists this as a beta, to be released.

Good catch. Thanks!

There was an issue with rebuilding the site, but a fix is 
imminent.

Great piece Mike!

One more correction: It says "to the conv function template" but the 
code uses to!uint.

Building spec part of the website should be as easy as:
git clone https://github.com/dlang/dmd
git clone https://github.com/dlang/dlang.org
cd dlang.org
make -f posix.mak html

On a Linux system. If that doesn't work can you post the error 
you got? Probably better to keep the discussion on the pull 
request.

Just downloaded it, the linux version reports as v2.076.0-dirty, 
probably want to get rid of the "dirty" tag for an official 
release.

Great! I noticed one small issue, though. When compiled with 
warnings, it warns about unreachable code when static foreach in 
a switch, for example:


void trySwitch(int x) {
     import std.stdio : writeln;

     SWITCH: final switch (x) {
         static foreach (y; [ 1, 2, 3 ]) {
             case y:
                 writeln("found");
                 break SWITCH;
         }
     }
}

void main(string[] args) {
     import std.conv : to;

     trySwitch(args.length > 1 ? to!int(args[1]) : 1);
}


Compilation:

$ dmd -wi ./main.d
./main.d(5): Warning: statement is not reachable
./main.d(5): Warning: statement is not reachable
./main.d(5): Warning: statement is not reachable
./main.d(5): Warning: statement is not reachable

It works, though, so I guess it's not a bug per se.

The script downloads https://dlang.org/d-keyring.gpg and verifies the
GPG signature of the download against that keyring.

So either there was a download error on the file (or signature), or
there is some bug in the way we use your local gpg/gpg2.

Could you check again please?
