Makes sense 
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dub/issues/747. The 
compiler does check assertions in unittest blocks even in release 
builds, right?
It's really trivial to add so you might have a try yourself 
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dub/blob/3ab683b023bd58dd101e110cf2f6199911eb7477/source/dub/package_.d#L307.
In the meantime it's possible to define a custom build type 
http://code.dlang.org/package-format?lang=json#build-types.

Very pleased to say that all of DlangScience worked with this 
beta, no regressions/breakage.

Yeah, I've been testing and haven't found anything broken.

:) had to say it didn't I.

I now have a "out of memory" error from dmd on one of my projects. I have
16GB of ram and 2.069 doesn't do this. I'll try dustmite.

The introduction of "message" in Throwable is a breaking change [1], but 
I guess it's not worth reporting an issue for.

Maybe there's not much feedback because there's not much problem.

I'll have to look into that. If you're saying D does that by 
default for debug builds -- the alpha release _is_ a debug build

Sorry, it was a bit unclear. I meant that:
- A console window is only meaningful in debug builds, so it 
should be disabled in release builds.
- Debug binaries should not be published, as they are meant for 
development only. They execute contracts, unittests and code in 
"debug" statements, which slow down the app and are useless for 
an end-user.


DMD makes a console application by default, no matter what build 
profile is used.

Here's a relevant thread:
http://www.digitalmars.com/d/archives/digitalmars/D/learn/Hide_console_of_gui_program_coded_by_gtkD_41799.html

It's suggested there to use "-L/SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS" switch in DMD 
command line when linking under Windows.

I had Tango in mind. But one might argue that it's not relevant and not 
well maintained. But there's a couple of reasons why I think it would be 
good to test it:


* It's pretty conservatively written. No new fancy feature, or features 
that might be considered experimental. This is a good test base for 
finding breakage for code that has been working for years, the core features


* It doesn't get any new development, which means that the only likely 
reason for the code to not compile is because of a breaking change 
(accidental or intentional)


* Basically every single release of DMD during last couple of years has 
caused at least one breakage in Tango

I fear there are more regressions that people can test for.

Currently we can't "dub test" release builds trough DUB.

If you do:

dub test mypackage

it builds with flags -g -unittest -w -debug. (like a -b debug 
build + the -unittest flag)


But if you do:

dub test mypackage -b release

it builds with flags -release -inline -O -w BUT NOT -unittest

Currently we can only "dub test" debug builds without anything 
dangerous.


Since a number of regressions are in the backend, that could be 
useful if DUB would let us test release builds in Travis-CI.

From my side, when I test a DMD release I just open 1 by 1 the 
things in metad 
(https://github.com/BBasile/metad/tree/master/repos) ,compile 
them, some of the projects have a unittest "config" and I run it 
as well. It's clear that there's a risk of compilation success 
because templates are not instantiated...


Latest two rlz i've found regressions like that but this time 
it's ok.

Regressions for 2.070 must be on very edgy things.

I'm building with dub and this only happened once, I've tried using --force
and I still don't get that error.
