Glad to announce D 2.072.2.

http://dlang.org/download.html

This version resolves a number of regressions and bugs in the 2.072.1
release. Most prominently scope classes work again in  safe code,
various rdmd bugs were fixed, and -fPIC became default for all linux
64-bit binaries and packages in order to support PIE (default on Ubuntu
16.10 and hardened Gentoo).

Also see the changelog for more details.

Congratulations and thank you for your hard work.

I haven't been following too closely. Does this mean that DIP1000 
has been implemented and is behind a feature switch, or is the 
above entry just a small related bugfix?

We don't add features in point releases, this was just a bug fix 
where such code no longer compiled. Also see the changelog for 
all infos.

Can it be that freebsd64 dub is linked against wrong phobos? I 
get:
Shared object "libphobos2.so.0.71" not found, reuired by "dub".

The same was with 2.072.1.

I saw same problem with 2.072.1 on FreeBSD amd64. I just compiled 
dub from GitHub to work around, but would be nice to fix version 
in official download.

It should be statically linked against phobos, please file a bug 
report at issues.dlang.org.
