D-thrift package detects regressions since 2.061, where is the regression suite located?

We do not include 3rd party libraries or projects in any kind of regression 
suite, so if that's what you're looking for, you're out of luck. David or 
someone else working on the Thrift stuff would have had to set something up for 
the D Thrift stuff specifically. We do have an autotester which tests that the 
current compiler and standard library implementation pass their tests, as well 
as a tester which tests that pull requests pass the tests as well, and that 
can be found here:

If you report bugs in bugzilla, then when they are fixed, unit tests for those 
bugs will be added for them so that they won't fail again. Our bugzilla can be 
found here:

We've never used github issue tracking for either the compiler or D's standard 
libraries. Maybe they were enabled before, but if so, they were ignored. I 
don't know what the D Thrift stuff does though.
