Available now on homebrew :)
Thanks
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`.
And for all other supported platforms but Windows, just use
curl -fsS https://dlang.org/install.sh | bash -s dmd-beta
to unpack the beta to ~/dlang, and
source ~/dlang/dmd-2.079.1-beta.1/activate
to use the beta compiler.
