Tango 0.97 RC1 released

[Lars Ivar Igesund]

Dear D community

This is the first release candidate release of Tango towards 1.0. This is
mostly a bugfix release, plus some news in the packaging department. The
most important changes are:

 * bundling of DMD
 * fixes for 64 bit use
 * fixes for Mac OSX use
 * daily snapshots
 * executable installers also on Linux

For a complete list, see
http://www.dsource.org/projects/tango/wiki/0_97_Changelog. There are still
a few rough edges, so we welcome all feedback and testing. Mac OSX
functionality has improved a lot, but we are still seing issues, mostly due
to differences between GDC and DMD in addition to a couple of show
stoppning bugs in the compiler.

DigitalMars has graciously given the Tango team permission to redistribute
DMD. This release sees the first packages of these bundles. Executable
installers are now also available on Linux, for both DMD and GDC. Please
report back on your experiences. Some downloads (GDC mainly) may take up to
a day before they are up.
