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 since
28/05/2013.

18 open critical bugs.
http://bit.ly/16WkhcM
5 blockers.

And 14 regressions.

I don't know how much action D is going to be getting next week due to
Walter's attendance of GoingNative, but IIRC last year Walter was able to
sneak in a commit or two...
This would actually be a good opportunity for the community to have pulls
fixing the Criticals/Blockers/Regressions waiting for Walter when he gets
back from GoingNative. Might make getting a new release that much smoother
and sooner. :-)
