This beta started a little later than planned because we had to solve a
FreeBSD build issue
(https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pull/9569#issuecomment-484017911). I'd
still try to ship the release on May 1st unless we figure out that more
time is needed to fix regressions.

Thank you so much. The -lowmem switch finally enables usage of D 
in CloudFoundry (your application is usually compiled on 
CloudFoundry and you very likely have a limit of 1024 MB).

Also I currently try to convince the people from Codeingame to 
support D. They have a limit of 768 MB.

The import std; will also become quite handy for the Codeingame 
use case.

Kind regards
Andre

Oh goodie!  Finally dmd will no longer be a laughing stock on low-memory
machines. Very glad to hear of -lowmem.

"DUB will no longer use OPTLINK as default on Windows" - finally! 
Best change.

Yes, very curious about this release!

Thanks a lot for -lowmem, copy ctor and DUB single request!

I don't understand full the new `dub init -t 
custom-dub-init-dubpackage` capabilities, the 
`custom-dub-init-dubpackage` has to be a package name on the DUB 
registry?

Any dub package can now define a sub package init-exec which will 
be used to create an app skeleton. Just use the package name as 
argument -t in dub init command.

The $(CONSOLE) macro seems to not be able to handle `---` in its 
argument, which wrongly starts an example.

There is another formatting issue in the Copy Constructor 
section, where the nested $(OL) does not handle examples well, by 
which successive $(LI) appear in the top level list instead.

I just noticed I got a test failure [1] in one of my projects using this 
version. I haven't investigated yet. Strangely the nightly build passes.

Sorry I don't know if this is the right place to report this, if 
not please let me know where a good place would be. With this 
release I can no longer build a subpackage with dub.

I had a look at the dub changelog but I can't see what I'm doing 
wrong.

2.085.1 builds OK

2.086.0-rc2 fails to build:

[2086.0-rc2] $ dub build :pkg1 --build=unittest
Package ':pkg1' was neither found locally nor online.

My dir structure are as follows:
---
$ tree
.
├── dub.sdl
├── pkg1
│   ├── dub.sdl
│   └── source
│       └── app.d
└── pkg2
     ├── dub.sdl
     └── source
         └── app.d

4 directories, 5 files


The app.d sources are empty dub generated app.d files
---
import std.stdio;

void main()
{
         writeln("Edit source/app.d to start your project.");
}
---



The toplevel sdl file

https://github.com/dlang/dub/issues/1691

The new auto-fetch logic doesn't handle abbreviated sub-pkg names 
properly and thus fails.
Workaround for now is to use the full name `dub build test:pkg` 
or to disable the auto-fetch via `dub build :pkg1 
--non-interactively`.
