digitalmars.D - gdc 2.064.2 in next Ubuntu LTS

reply "Iain Buclaw" <ibuclaw gdcproject.org> writes:
Hi,

The next Ubuntu LTS release will include gdc-4.8 using the D 
2.064.2 frontend, and I do not plan to push in any updates other 
than bug fixes.  This may be important to bear in mind, as there 
may be users who choose to use gdc (I hope they do) and may 
develop using this version of D for the next six months, two 
years, or maybe six years depending on how conservative they are.

Oh, and gdc should be coming to ARM in this release too.  :)

Regards
Iain.

Oooo ARM. Any chance for a 'supported' devices(os/cpu) list?
I've heard some interesting things like ARM architecture being
easier than x86 and would love to get into it.

By way of example, I've been trying to use dub to track down some
ICE's however I don't even get that far as it seems that vibe.d has
broken backwards compatibility with 2.064.2.

Usually vibe.d maintains compatibility with latest DMD frontend 
version and one before it. So either you are trying to use vibe.d 
master or can file 2.064.2 compatibility issue as a bug :)

Actually, it might be me!  GDC doesn't differentiate between warning
and deprecations in its diagnostics, so if -Werror is turned on, all
deprecations are errors by default.
