https://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=12456 Summary: Regression: Direct downloads are no longer available from the changelog Product: D Version: D2 Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: regression Priority: P2 Component: websites AssignedTo: nobody puremagic.com ReportedBy: andrej.mitrovich gmail.com 22:50:34 CET --- From the changelog page (http://dlang.org/changelog.html) it used to be very easy to grab an older zipped release (e.g. to track regressions), but now all links redirect to http://dlang.org/download.html. From the download page there doesn't seem to be a way to find the older versions of D. Apparently there is also this new section of the website: http://downloads.dlang.org/releases/ But I don't see this being linked to from anywhere. Additionally it has a really weird layout by putting everything into yearly folders, which isn't useful when you're just trying to find an exact version. -- Configure issuemail: https://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: -------

If a user tells a program to get D version X.YYY, the software now must also ask the user, "Which year was that released in?", or use heuristics such as parsing some webpage. -- Configure issuemail: https://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: -------

I rarely used the tool so I wouldn't know.

https://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=12456 19:00:20 EET --- DVM (at least 0.3.0) seems to still use the DigitalMars mirror (ftp.digitalmars.com), which does not use the year structure. It seems to have gotten a lot faster now, so I guess that problem is not so acute as long as that mirror is discoverable by writers of D installers. -- Configure issuemail: https://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: -------
