Due to building an packaging requirements and a need to address
the concerns of the community, I changed the naming convention
for this and all future releases.
The following is our new naming convention:
major.minor.qualifier
Examples follow:
#.###.b# ==> 2.065.b1 // beta
#.###.rc# ==> 2.065.rc1 // release candidate
#.###.0 ==> 2.065.0 // initial release
#.###.# ==> 2.065.1 // hotfix
Consequently, the name for the previously announced beta has
changed. Additionally, installers were prepared and made
available. They are as follows:
ftp://ftp.digitalmars.com/dmd.2.065.b1.zip
ftp://ftp.digitalmars.com/dmd.2.065.b1.dmg
ftp://ftp.digitalmars.com/dmd_2.065.b1-0_i386.deb
ftp://ftp.digitalmars.com/dmd_2.065.b1-0_amd64.deb
ftp://ftp.digitalmars.com/dmd-2.065.b1-0.fedora.i386.rpm
ftp://ftp.digitalmars.com/dmd-2.065.b1-0.fedora.x86_64.rpm
ftp://ftp.digitalmars.com/dmd-2.065.b1-0.openSUSE.i386.rpm
ftp://ftp.digitalmars.com/dmd-2.065.b1-0.openSUSE.x86_64.rpm

Note: An installer is not yet prepared for Windows.

It would be nice, IMHO, to have release information in the same
fashion VisualD does it. Check:
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/visuald/releases .
Notice that each release has changelog. -Very nice and
professional I think.
