Congrats, etc., you know!  :-)

An idea:

On www.digitalmars.com you currently replace the Current Version link 
with the, ehhh, Current Version, right?

Now, would it be a better idea to announce here the existence of DMD 
X.0xx /without/ changing the default link on the web site? Point being, 
you'd want to get feedback for at least a week from this NG, before 
"publishing to the world at large" the new version.

This might be handy for "real errors", because then you could have some 
comment next to the link about, well, caveats or whatever.

Even better, you'd get rid of the most trivial, and embarrassing, erros 
(of the kind I make all the time, like "says v1.034") before the regular 
downloaders hear of them.

PS, think about those who don't read this NG, who just happen to 
download the obvious choice, the current version, and then there's some 
embarrassing or downright dangerous thing with it, and he never gets the 
wiser -- because we can't mandate that everyone reads this NG.

/At least 1.xx/ should do this.
