I will continue to keep adding the betas for my own use anyway, but please, PLEASE, install the betas and test them, it's so simple, just `brew upgrade dmd --devel`. You can then switch freely between the beta and the stable versions with `brew switch dmd 2.079.0`, `brew switch dmd 2.079.1-beta.1`. And for all other supported platforms but Windows, just use curl -fsS https://dlang.org/install.sh | bash -s dmd-beta to unpack the beta to ~/dlang, and source ~/dlang/dmd-2.079.1-beta.1/activate to use the beta compiler.

You can then switch freely between the beta and the stable versions with `brew switch dmd 2.079.0`, `brew switch dmd 2.079.1-beta.1`. To inspect what versions you have installed, `brew info dmd`. To uninstall specific versions, `brew switch` to the relevant version then run `brew uninstall dmd`. The same steps apply for any other betas on homebrew. I try to keep dmd, dub, ldc, dfix, dfmt and dcd up to date. If I'm late updating something, you can try nagging me or you can DIY, take a look at https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/pulls?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Apr+dmd for examples of how to submit the update yourself.
