digitalmars.D.ldc - Which branch?

Hi,

It seems right to rebuild LDC not using master. However whilst there is
a merge-2.065, it seems a long way behind merge-2.064 in terms of having
everything from master merged in, along with there being lots of bug
fixes in merge-2.064 not in merge-2.065.

I may have missed a memo, in which case apologies, but wouldn't it be
better to effectively ditch merge-2.064 and put all effort into
merge-2.065?

I would recommend to use the merge-2.064 branch because all 
development happens in this branch. I'll merge this branch into 
master branch soon as you are the third person asking about the 
branches in two days...

The merge-2.065 branch misses some commits but should be usable, 
too. I do not ditch merge-2.064 in favor of merge-2.065 because 
the last remaining bug in merge-2.064 is also present in 
mere-2.065... I really want to push out the next stable release 
soon.

Regards,
Kai

Works for me :-)

Given I am using DMD 2.065, I had been thinking it would be better to
use merge-2.065, but I'll try with merge-2.064 and hope I am not using
any of the new features.

Thanks.

I merged the latest changes from merge-2.064 into merge-2.065 
branch a minute ago. Both branches are now up-to-date.
