It seems I could only download DMD 1.015 from *DigitalMars*.
Where can I find DMD 2.xxx?

D 2.xxx does have a new const concept and is considered beta. It also get new features. But things may also change. D 1.xxx does only get bugfixes. So it can be used for more serious programming.

http://ftp.digitalmars.com/dmd.1.022.zip http://ftp.digitalmars.com/dmd.2.005.zip All files are accessible when you go to the changelog page and click on the version name on each version. There are also two changelogs, one for D 1.0 and one for the D 2.0 branch.

Be aware that 2.x is very much a moving target and is nowhere near to being in a final release state. Many of the existing third-party D libraries do not support it yet, and likely won't until it gets closer to release.
