Yes, very curious about this release!

Thanks a lot for -lowmem, copy ctor and DUB single request!

I don't understand full the new `dub init -t 
custom-dub-init-dubpackage` capabilities, the 
`custom-dub-init-dubpackage` has to be a package name on the 
DUB registry?


Any dub package can now define a sub package init-exec which will 
be used to create an app skeleton. Just use the package name as 
argument -t in dub init command.



Kind regards
Andre

Oh goodie!  Finally dmd will no longer be a laughing stock on low-memory
machines. Very glad to hear of -lowmem.

"DUB will no longer use OPTLINK as default on Windows" - finally! 
Best change.

This beta started a little later than planned because we had to 
solve a FreeBSD build issue 
(https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pull/9569#issuecomment-484017911). I'd still try to ship the release on May 1st unless we figure out that more time is needed to fix regressions.

Thank you so much. The -lowmem switch finally enables usage of D 
in CloudFoundry (your application is usually compiled on 
CloudFoundry and you very likely have a limit of 1024 MB).


Also I currently try to convince the people from Codeingame to 
support D. They have a limit of 768 MB.


The import std; will also become quite handy for the Codeingame 
use case.


Kind regards
Andre
