Before the final release of this is there any chance you could include
some of the patches in bugzilla, or comment on why they haven't been
included? There's 68 issues that aren't enhancements in bugzilla that
have patches, I know you've commented on a few of them, it would be
nice to have some feedback on them though. I wouldn't expect you to
include all of them for obvious reasons, it'd be nice if you could
gradually filter through them though.

otherwise though)
I know this release is primarily to fix the memory corruption issues,
I'd still like to see some of these included though (such as the debug
info patches I wrote, otherwise I'll have to keep using my patched
version of dmd :s)
The reason for this release being in a bit of a hurry is because:
1. Memory corruption problems are a nasty, ugly, soul-sucking problem
for anyone using the compiler. They make the language look really bad.
Rolling out a fix for them is and should be first priority.
2. I'm going to be gone to the ACCU next week, and so won't be working
on the compiler. I don't think this update can wait.
The dwarf patches you wrote are very important and I wanted to get them
in, but there isn't time. The existing patches have already destabilized
the build & test enough :-(
Also, I'm spending my time preparing for the ACCU (Andrei and I were
invited to do a full day tutorial on D, yay!) which is important as we
want to get D's best foot forward. It's a great opportunity for D.
