I get D from MacPorts rather than using the DMG. I've changed the Anywhere setting to a more protected one. I'm guessing I can have Anywhere then install latest DMD, but put it back to what it was. I haven't figured out package managers. I used them a bit in Ubuntu and they seemed to easily brake the system. :-\ I didn't see the new post here, that's why I've taken so long to reply.
