Since you brought up std.parallelism, there's one renegade issue I need to look into pronto if we're going to get it out for next release. It seems to cause access violations on Windows when compiled as part of the Phobos unit tests. However, I doubt this is a bug in std.parallelism as opposed to either DMD or my makefile changes because:<br>
<br>1. std.parallelism passes all its unit tests when compiled by itself.<br><br>2. It only happens on Windows.<br><br>3. If I put a print statement at the beginning of the first unit test of std.parallelism, it never prints before the access violation occurs. <br>
<br>I don't even know if the access violation is happening at compile time or runtime, since the way Phobos unittests work on Windows it's non-trivial to tell.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Apr 21, 2011 at 3:12 AM, Don Clugston <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:dclugston@googlemail.com">dclugston@googlemail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

We've now achieved minimal stability again (all green on the auto-tester).<br>

Looks as though will be time to get std.parallelism in. But otherwise,<br>
if you have anything you'd like to get into the next release, please<br>
indicate so now.<br>
