Can't say. Hopefully things will be in before the 4.7 development window closes. > 2.

I would imagine that the official releases would be 1 frontend version behind DMD - given that there is a 2 month period of bug-fixes only before release. Whilst the development trunk/snapshots will remain in sync. Again, can't really say - it's too soon to be asking this. :~) Regards Iain
