This is now in master.  Outside of the D changelog the following 
command-line arguments have been added / deprecated.

   -fd-verbose: Deprecated in favour of --verbose (-v)
   -fd-vtls: Deprecated in favour of -ftransition=tls (equivalent 
to -transition=tls)
   -fd-vgc: Deprecated in favour of -ftransition=nogc (equivalent 
to -vgc)

   -femit-moduleinfo: Deprecated in favour of -fmoduleinfo, as the 
default is always ON.

   -ftransition=field: New switch, equivalent to -transition=field


in the new 2.068 branch that has opened up.   dub, and others 
that interact with GDC, please take note. ;-)

 I will try to also deprecate the other main culprits from 

 others that interact with GDC, please take note. ;-)
Big Thumbs Up!

Wow, congrats. From your comments elsewhere I assumed there was a lot more work needed before this happened. What's the future of GDC in terms of speed of releases.

There is still a lot of work (about 10k lines of refactor-going-on-rewrite) needed for it. It may support all 2.067 features, but it's still using the old codegen interface that has been removed in upstream. ;-)

So GDC seems to be dead. That's a pity. No one from GDC's team wanna join LDC's one ?

2.067 frontend is outdated, isn't it ? For instance i can't build my code with dmd < 2.069 due to tons of bugs in the frontend. And when i discover new bugs, i have to write ugly workarounds, and i have to remove them when there's new version of frontend with bugfixes. And yes, keeping them to support outdated frontend versions is a bad practice. So in Q1 2016 GDC is only 2.067. And it isn't based on D frontend, so when it will be time to move to D frontend, the gap will raise. You see ?

You changed the subject. We were taking about the status of the GDC project, and now you're talking about its obsolescence. These are two different things. Considering the fact that GDC just merged a huge new update, no it's not "dead".

In all likelihood, we'd just jump from 2.068 to LATEST in one leap. Because as far as I'm concerned every release since 2.069 is a horribly broken release, and until upstream fixes their code, there's no chance of moving forward. However the compiler implementation itself will remain being compatible with 2.068 features. So there is no rush to bootstrap it, or to start cherry-picking bug fixes today.

You must have a curious definition of 'dead'.
