Dear Walter,
I went to the github and try to download the source, I found that
the latest version on github is the old version.
for example:
druntime - Downloads: dmd-2.042
Phobos - Downloads: phobos-2.046
DMD - Downloads: dmd-2.046
I think the actural latest version of D should be 2.051.
Why github can not showing the 2.051 version(dmd, phobos,
druntime, and so on.) ?
I think it is because the tags were never done properly on svn,
either.
It's still possible to add the tags (see
http://progit.org/book/ch2-6.html "Tagging Later") but we'd have to
know the commits used for the releases. I guess there's
no easy way to figure out which commits were used for the releases?
All source is included in the compiler. It's simply a matter of doing
a directory compare of the code against source control. The date
released should narrow it down to a manageable level.
I have done it in the past
(http://www.dsource.org/projects/druntime/changeset/272) In fact, it
looks like I was the last one to tag druntime :)
Some script-fu could probably fill in all the holes automatically...

OK, here are some revisions:
DMD:
2.051 seems to be revision 1374ba96fa5516d9595fa61b09015197a8b84385
Note: The changelog on the website says release date Nov 7 but it's
more like 20th December.
That is probably a doc bug. When creating the 'next' version in the
changelog, Walter arbitrarily puts a date in there as a placeholder
(usually the date he does that), and looks like he forgot to change it.
Probably we should get into the practice of putting TBD instead of a date.
Note2: The git repository contains a object.h file in that revision
which isn't in the dmd zip.
2.050 50fb3d60811b203ac50a0d9169bf15a28881c9b5
Note: The git repository contains a argtypes.c file in that revision
which isn't in the dmd zip.
2.049 ab38d58ecb78924d631f7f77863fff2a6c234eb6
2.048 bcf720fe079fd979fa9e81f63ab2de3dde9284dc
2.047 ad4ae4a4fd3dbdb591ebc288378a7200d2ed6d48
Note: In the dmd zip, there are 7 additional lines in
root/root.c. Those were later added to the repository, but
ad4ae4a4fd3dbdb591ebc288378a7200d2ed6d48 seems to be the correct
commit.
At this point, I would say, tag those versions. Its very unlikely that
someone ever needs one of these old revs anyways. I'm glad you were able
to do all this work, thanks!
