There is a changelog for each project, those entries should be part of PRs.

Works for me to build Visual D, though it uses it's own windows headers 
most of the time. There are a few tools that use HWND from 
core.sys.windows that seem ok.


I noticed the installer downloads Visual D 0.3.42, this should be 
updated to the latest version:

It's really trivial to add so you might have a try yourself

In the meantime it's possible to define a custom build type

:) 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.

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.

Well, this still needs a lot of work that nobody was did.
Walter spend almost the whole release cycle on EH, I spend a huge amount
of time on nightlies/install scripts and was away half of the cycle. So
while I still think 313&314 should be one of our main priorities, it
seems I couldn't convince anyone.
