Greetings,
I have accepted the responsibility of preparing the builds for
DMD and would like to engage in conversation about the way
ahead.

At four-week intervals we make a new beta release. There will
be no separate release candidate, but if a serious problem is
discovered we may do the next beta ahead of schedule or make a
point release. There will be about five or six releases in that
series.

Beta release (2.065beta1)
Created monthly from master, except for those months in
which we create a major release. Stable and suitable for users
who want the latest code and can live with changes from month
to month.
Your thoughts and concerns please.
First congratulations! Appreciate your work on this.
For me, I do not really have the time to keep a local build
up-to-date to get the latest changes on head. So I would really
appreciate having a regular binary release that would give me the
latest changes. Being able to schedule in and rely on the
proposed monthly beta release would be a big help. Definitely +1
to that part of the proposal. If a daily snapshot could be
created reliably then that might work. As long as I can get a
regular binary to install.
Thanks
Joseph
