The current release is 2.063.2, but it's the first time that we've actually 
released point releases like that, so there are likely to be places saying 
2.063 instead of 2.063.2.

No, but what's there is mostly correct. There are a few things that aren't yet 
implemented quite as described in TDPL (e.g. we don't have multiple alias 
this-es yet, and synchronized still is at a function-level instead of at a 
class level like TDPL describes), and there are probably a couple of things 
that have changed since the book was released (e.g. the book describes 
strongly pure functions, but we now also have weakly pure functions), but it's 
almost all correct. So, while I'm sure that there will be a new edition 
eventually, there's not a lot of point in releasing another one at this point.
