I also heard several times it is deprecated in favor of dmd -run. Kind regards André dmd -i -run It gets close but as far as I know rdmd is not deprecated. The disadvantage of `dmd -i -run` is, it is compiler dependent while `rdmd` is included in dmd and ldc (gdc I do not know). Maybe we should include a 64 bit rdmd in the bin64 folder.

I also agree with you, there is no need to make the 64 version the default. It should just be possible, by extracting the DMD zip archive and setting environment variable PATH to bin64 to have a working dmd & dub integration. Another solution would also be to have 2 dmd windows zip archives like you have it for FreeBSD: dmd.2.090.0.freebsd-32.zip dmd.2.090.0.freebsd-64.zip But this requires more effort I assume, maybe this is a solution for the long ran and the low hanging fruit for the moment is to add a 64 dub executable to the dmd zip archive.

[snip] I'm happy to see those Windows install improvements. In the changelog, it mentions isClose, but I didn't see that listed in the Phobos enhancement section where it links to Bugzilla. Maybe there should be a way to link to the PR [1] in cases like that? The author addresses two bugzilla issues, but does not link to them in the PR. @berni44: I'm a little confused by the note for isClose where it says that isClose(a, b, 1e-2, 1e-2) is very similar to approxEqual(a, b). The default for the second optional parameter for approxEqual is 1e-5, not 1e-2. Also, there is a typo in the isClose documentation: "This is mainly usefull for comparing values to zero." Two l's in usefull. It looks like this typo is also in the approxEqual documentation. While you're at it, you might make clear that it checks the relative difference first (unless maxRelDiff=0) and then the absolute difference (unless maxAbsDiff=0). That made me realize...for isClose(a, b, 0, 0), it looks like it returns true if a == b, but false otherwise (ignoring infinity). Is that intended? I would think that it should instead have an assert say that the checks are skipped, but that's just me. [1] https://github.com/dlang/phobos/pull/7241
