I noticed this as well. There are different VERSION files
depending on where you download DMD source code from: The
releases on GitHub have 2.068 while the releases on dlang.org
have 2.068.1 in VERSION. That's easy to miss when you build
from source.
(Also the dlang.org downloads add to the DMD download
statistics, which is why I use those even though they
include extra binaries for all OSs.)
