Further beta announcements go in the dmd-beta mailing list. Note that this release contains: 29 enhancements 307 dmd bugs fixed 14 druntime bugs fixed 73 phobos bugs fixed Hum I have several regression is SDC's test suite.

code.dlang.org now supports categories and search
The DUB package registry [1] has finally gained support for the text and
category based search of packages. There is also a category for D
standard library candidate modules, as has been suggested recently.
If you already have any registered packages, please log in and add the
proper categories to each of them ("My packages" -> click on package
name). Should there be no exact category match, and that specific
category is likely to have multiple entries in the future, please make a
corresponding pull request against the category file [2] on GitHub.
It's still all a little rough around the edges. Any bugs can be reported
on the issue tracker [3] or discussed in the forum [4].

Great! But I think the eloty categories must go until needed.

I've tried using "dlib*" but that didn't work either. I think the search engine should try to be a little more lax and show partial matches too.

Yes, but after Andej did the great changelog for 2.063, Walter publicly admitted that he had been wrong about the changelog. Andrej showed Walter that it _is_ worth doing something more than just a list of bugzilla issues.
