Available now on homebrew :)
I try to keep homebrew up to date with the latest betas, but the
stats show that almost no-one ever downloads them, despite
reasonable numbers getting the stable version. See for example
https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/pull/24348#issuecomment-367021918 .
I will continue to keep adding the betas for my own use anyway,
but please, PLEASE, install the betas and test them, it's so
simple, just `brew upgrade dmd --devel`.
You can then switch freely between the beta and the stable
versions with `brew switch dmd 2.079.0`, `brew switch dmd
2.079.1-beta.1`.
To inspect what versions you have installed, `brew info dmd`.
To uninstall specific versions, `brew switch` to the relevant
version then run `brew uninstall dmd`.
The same steps apply for any other betas on homebrew. I try to
keep dmd, dub, ldc, dfix, dfmt and dcd up to date.
If I'm late updating something, you can try nagging me or you can
DIY, take a look at
https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/pulls?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Apr+dmd for examples of how to submit the update yourself.
