There is an issue by now 
https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15988, but I can't 
reproduce any serious slowdowns with vibe-d, Higgs, or dcd 
comparing 2.069.2, 2.070.2, and 2.071.2-b4.

I just updated one of my projects from 2.069.0 to 2.071.0, and

It is second time git tag for DMD release refers to commit with 
VERSION file content which doesn't match the tag. May indicate 
something is wrong in release procedure.


Hah, and just like last time I notice this right after you :-)

I think part of the problem with the release procedure may be 
that the build-a-release script actually auto-overwrites the 
VERSION file content, so the problem is hidden unless one tries 
to build directly from source the manual way:

https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/pull/5382#issuecomment-177545916

Assuming that we want to continue relying on the VERSION 
information (which makes sense for e.g. users building from 
tarballs rather than git clones), might it make sense to change 
the build script to _validate_ the VERSION info, forcing the 
maintainer to correct it if there is a mismatch?

It's just fixing the existing typing. Before you would get the 
nested functions context pointer typed as outer class, now you 
correctly get the outer class through the function context.
