What he said, [regression] fixes that didn't make it into the initial release. I don't know about GDC's 'patch level', but for 2.059 I applied patches for the following issues after release, to have it feel as solid as good old 2.058: - issue-7907 - issue-7911 - issue-7922 - outOfMemoryError-undeprecation - std-path-sep-deprecation In case crypto algorithms become part of Phobos, some patches may improve security as well. Didn't you say you work only with the GitHub release tags for stability? -- Marco
