@dlang_ng is now tweeting about NG.announce on Twitter
For those people who want to be notified immediately about new announcements in #dlang, there's now @dlang_ng: https://twitter.com/dlang_ng Huge thanks and credits go to Vladimir for taking my initial implementation and putting it into DFeed. Also credits go to rjframe for posting this idea yesterday on the NG: https://forum.dlang.org/post/p4uubg$1rbl$1...@digitalmars.com

No, while I understand that you would like this to be fixed, this change might be disruptive - you never know on what weird behavior people rely. Anything potentially breaking existing code can't be part of a patch release. In some cases, yes, we need to have a deprecation period as people may depend on the behavior. In this case, however, the codegen is simply wrong. It can be fixed immediately. I would hazard to guess that nobody is depending on int.min being greater than 0. Also AFAICT no one has submitted a PR to fix the issue you referenced, so it's a hypothetical question (for now). I would suggest to would-be fixers, just do the correct thing that may be less performant, and we can worry about optimizing later (and add a unit test of course!). There is nothing worse than a compiler that doesn't emit the code you expect it to. -Steve

This is a long-term support distribution.
Don't expect those to have actual tip versions of any SW
package!
They rely on stabe versions that don't have the latest
features
but only those very well tested.
The semver 1.7 is not an unstable package. Its that their
reason for no updates?
LDC 1.7.0 includes major changes to the frontend and is not
well-tested.
If you want a better-tested recent LDC, I recommend LDC 1.6.0,
which is used in production at Weka.

I expected at least 1.6 to be available in the repo by now. I
remember the availability of LDC in ubuntu was celebrated
here...now it seem abandoned after such an effort. Maybe
someone from the team can answer what happened.
1.6 is in Debian - as other explained before Debian is __very__
focused on stability.
https://packages.debian.org/sid/ldc ("Unstable" - 1.6)
https://packages.debian.org/buster/ldc (Debian 9 - 1.5)
https://packages.debian.org/jessie/ldc (Debian 8 - 1.0)
Ubuntu usually lags one version behind Debian packages:
https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/ldc ("Unstable" - 1.5)
https://packages.ubuntu.com/artful/ldc (17.10 - 1.4)
If you want to have the latest D compiler on Debian/Ubuntu, you
have these options:
- use d-apt (d-apt.sourceforge.net)
- use the official install script (https://dlang.org/install.html)
- install the official deb package yourself
(https://dlang.org/download.html)
- use a different distro
This is not something that can __ever__ be fixed. It's the
fundamental way Debian's packaging and release cycle work.

Re: Very tiny script for testing D projects with Pijul version control system.
Good news!
Working version:
@echo off
for %%a in ("%cd%") do set folder=%%~na
winscp.com /command "open devuser@172.16.16.11
-privatekey=C:\Users\suliman\.ssh\123.ppk" "put latest.tar.gz
/home/devuser/folder/" "exit"
1. File-name hard-coded
2. WinSCP should be installed and added to PATH
