This opens a can of questions.<br>
Who created it, why didn't anybody told me (and others) about
it, how was it decided that dmd is beta ready, what's the
intent/plan for the other repos?<br>
Please communicate before doing non-obvious steps so that others
can learn the process too.<br>

Martin, I created this tag back when I just started. It was
discussed in my initial announcement after creating the 2.065
branch. Either way, the tag will need to be deleted and recreated
after all pushing the required files to build this release to the
2.065 branch. With your progress on vagrant/virtualbox I am hoping I
will be able to build the 2.065 branch very soon. I have been able
to use it to build head but not the 2.065 branch. This is largely
because patches are being merged to head but not pushed to the
branch. <br>

I am responsible for this. Request however, that this particular tag
be deleted (v2.065-b1) because we're not ready. I am reading Pro Git
right now because I made a number of mistakes a few weeks back and
decided not to play in the live repo until I get a better grasp of
how to use it. That being said, I will not delay the process because
of my shortcomings so as soon as regressions are addressed and I can
build the 2.065 branch without errors, I will release the beta.<br>

I will check this out tonight. Thanks for the hard work.<br>

<div class="moz-text-html" lang="x-western"> I still have to waste
a lot of time (rebasing, workarounding...), because nobody

Still here is a snapshot release of the 2.065 branches with a
few remaining issues.<br>
- FreeBSD has no dmd.conf<br>
- contains a few spurious .gitignore files<br>
<br>
Things to recheck.<br>
- link.exe is updated to optlink 8.00.15<br>
- OSX dmd binaries are all 64 bit<br>
- Is the increased size only due to the added FreeBSD binaries?<br>
- ??? help appreciated<br>
<br>
I'm working on these but would appreciate help in the form of
monitoring the installer repo.<br>

<br>
I remember that we found the name "beta" inappropriate during
the last release because<br>
there are still open regressions.<br>
Releasing a beta to helpful testers before obvious bugs are
fixed is rude because they will waste<br>
their time to reproduce know issues.<br>
To provide a single fix I can easily build more snapshots (takes
about 20 unattended minutes).<br>
