But were there 2.064 and 2.064.1 releases? If I'm not mistaken 
the last release was 2.063.2 (at least judging by the website), 
next major release should be 2.064, not 2.064.1 or 2.064.2 (those 
are patch releases, not major ones).

If 2.064.1 was a RC then it was badly named. As IMHO RC versions 
must be marked with rc, as betas are marked with b "flag". 
Something like 2.064-rc.1, 2.064-rc.2, ... 2.064 (stable/major 
release), 2.064.1 (patch release), ...

This (-rc.xx) is how RC versions should be marked as per SEMVER 
"standard" (http://semver.org), although I know that D doesn't 
follow semantic versioning as defined in that standard.


Other than this thing with versioning I must say that I'm very 
pleased with changes in this version, so congrats to all people 
involved! :)
