Yeah that didn't work too well, sorry for the trouble. I was extremely busy before dconf (that's part of why I missed my flight) and didn't spend much thought on the release. Probably didn't take it that serious, given how infrequently we handled it before. I was also under the impression that people were informed. http://forum.dlang.org/post/5554d763.1080...@dawg.eu Interestingly this links back to our missing communication infrastructure. We should have regular (semi-public) meetings involving all core contributors to plan development, releases, and everything D. Private (irregular) email discussion don't cut it, b/c they leave most people uninformed. The newsgroup doesn't work either, b/c it's too busy with daily news. We pay a lot for the lack of communication (it's key in a more hierarchical structure), b/c noone but Walter and you can push something on the development agenda without a screaming rant on the newsgroup. This is a main reason why so much work gets stuck/killed in the pull request stage (who could have discussed it before), and also the main reason why we rarely collaborate on topics. -Martin
