I didn't test the beta and missed this regression discovered
by a CRON at TravisCI:
https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17893
Sound like we need more test coverage on the Project Tester
(https://github.com/dlang/ci/blob/master/pipeline.groovy#L319).
The regression was discovered in iz, which was at least
another time "victim" of a regression (almost day for day 1
year ago). https://github.com/BBasile/iz.
This time it is trivial to overcome. It happens in a contract
so checking for a version number does the job and the release
version is not affected at all.
I can still add dmd beta as D Compiler in the CI. I think that
iz occasionally breaks because it covers many programming
style, not because of its "edginess", which means that's its
probably not worth adding it to the Project tester.
Also i'd like to say that the policy that is that regression
fixes are commited on stable and that the fact that they only
come to master in a "sync operation" is a problem.
In the travis yaml we have to test dmd, dmd beta (stable, not yet
released) and finally dmd master (current working tree). The
policy should be changed so that regression fixes are commited to
both master and stable, allowing to decrease the CI complexity.
The problem is mainly that testing a project with dmd beta is
pointless. It's only useful 1 or 2 weeks before a release, which
happens , let's say, 4 times per years, leading to a waste of
computing resources at the CI service.
With reg fixes put in master at the same time that in stable,
testing 3 versions of the DMD compiler would not be necessary
anymore, i think.
