Well, I'd say that the 1.xxx is 'production-ready'. It can compile code 
written for the 1.0 standard if you pass -v1 to the compiler. It can 
also use a few new useful features added post-1.0. And I'd highly 
recommend getting the latest version, as the pre-1.013 releases had a 
really nasty bug...

I downloaded D from the Digital Mars site and the version is 1.010. At least
that's what it says when I execute dmd. Is there another download site?

On the D changelog, you can download the newest, 1.014, by going to that 
update and clicking on the "what's new for _D 1.014_" link.
