There was a moment yesterday where I uploaded a windows.zip 
before realizing the download page assumes a windows.7z, but 
right now the link you posted is working for me.

Appreciate all the work in getting the release together. I assume 
there will be an announcement post soon.

In the meantime, has anyone had any issues with the dub binary 
for macOS 15 x86_64 with DMD 2.112.0? I am trying to get the 
mir-ndslice CI working again and having difficulty getting that 
to work and traced it to the dub package.

Oh yeah, dmd doesn't support macOS 15.

Both Walter and Luna know about it, but nothing has been done about it 
so far due to other reasons.

Thanks. I’ll try macOS 13. Would be nice if they  document stuff 
like this somewhere.

Ah, I tried 13 already. The GitHub runners don’t support 13 
anymore, despite what the documentation says.

Here’s the rub, Guthub doesn’t have a test runner for 14 on 
intel, only arm.

Dmd crashes for me (26.1). I think there is going to be a point 
release soon.

It’s for GitHub Actions. I don’t actually own a Mac for me to try 
this on. If it will get fixed soon, not sure it makes sense to 
mess any more with the yaml than I already have.

I think there is something corrupted in the build system. I just built 
the v2.112.0 tag on my intel MacBook Pro running 15.5 and it worked 
fine. Then I upgraded to 26.2 and it still works fine.

Building, and passing testsuite are two very different things.

And still that implied rigor that is inherently built into the official 
building process did NOTHING to prevent it from delivering a product 
that is 100% broken on macOS. Prey tell, how many tests in said suite 
did it pass?

But maybe I am misunderstanding you. Is something like this (see 
attached log) what you are referring to or is there some other specific 
testsuite that it must pass to be considered a successful build?

Look, all I'm saying is that if I can build the compiler and use it to 
compile itself on macOS, then there is something wrong with the way it 
is being built in the release process. I am not in any way suggesting 
that v2.112.0 does not introduce regressions or other bugs.

Note: I couldn't post complete log for DMD/DRuntime/Phobos because the 
exceed newsgroup size limitations.

It is not broken on older versions of MacOS and is passing on them.

We've been having a lot of trouble with MacOS since about version 11, 
and that is just from what little I remember. Apple keeps breaking stuff 
that should never be broken. Every CI bump has resulted in compiler or 
druntime needing fixing something fundamental.

It was not compiling or passing the testsuite as of two months ago when 
I tried to bump the CI runner to 15. For both dmd-master and ldc-latest.

When it failed to build and pass the testsuite on 15 I reported it at 
the monthly meeting.

Dmd's testsuite comprises tests that were added because the compiler did 
the wrong thing in the past. If you cannot pass it, you do not have a 
functioning D compiler.

You seem to have gotten further than what I did two months ago, so that 
is something.

Please point me to the exact location of this testsuite so I can attempt 
to build it. Unfortunately, I upgraded to 26.2 so don't have a 15 box to 
use but I believe environment variable MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET should 
allow me to build for earlier machines. I noticed that LDC is being 
built on/for 10.12. What's the oldest version that DMD is trying to support?

Whatever is in dmd's CI is what we support.

Everything else is on a best effort basis.
