Morning all,
It has been about 3 months since the last release of the D
front-end implementation. Three years experience and carrying
out over 100 merges into GDC tells me that each time the
development cycle starts edging towards it's fourth month, it
makes things an absolute nightmare, in both the time consumed
merging in the changes, and with time spent tracking down bug
reports for unittests/testsuite cases that test backend code
generation - with 2.060, 2.061 and 2.063 being the worst releases
I have ever had to deal with - before 2.060 the release schedule
(if it even qualifies as a 'schedule') was anywhere between 1-2
months.
So I would want to give everyone on the dev team a kick and get
the alpha/beta out the door.
Across D/Druntime/Phobos, there are currently 26 open major bugs
