Glad to announce D 2.079.0.
This release comes with experimental `@nogc` exception throwing
(-dip1008), a lazily initialized GC, better support for minimal
runtimes, and an experimental Windows toolchain based on the lld
linker and MinGW import libraries. See the changelog for more details.
Thanks to everyone involved in this 👏

Is is just me or did this release just break the latest non-beta
vibe.d? Is the Jenkins build testing the dub packages on master
instead of the latest tag?

It's great that there's an issue for vibe.
This doesn't change the fact that right now, somebody trying D for the
1st time with the latest official compiler will get an error if they try
out the most popular dub package that I know of if they follow the
instructions on code.dlang.org.
It also doesn't change that I can't upgrade dmd on our CI at work
because it can't compile vibe unless I change dozens of dub.sdl files to
use a beta version. This breaks semver!
I found out about this after removing a dependency on stdx.data.json
since dmd >= 2.078.0 broke it (by breaking taggedalgebraic. Yes, I filed
a bug.). I can upgrade from 2.077.1 to 2.078.3,but not 2.079.0.
I'd have a snowball's chance in hell convincing anyone at a "regular"
company of adopting D if anyone there even imagined any of the above
could happen.
We have to do better than this.
std.experimental is supposed to be allowed to be broken.
That being said, I'm wondering if it wouldn't be better to have
std.experimental be in its own repository. This allows selection of the
dependency on std.experimental separate from phobos. It still would be
an "official" dlang package, and might even be included in the
distribution (the latest version anyway), and docs included on the
website. But if needed, you could have your dub package depend on a
prior version.
