Please, read this thread, esp towards the end.

"Breaking D2 language/spec changes with D1 being discontinued in 
a month"

The current lack of a sane development and release process is 
messing up a lot of people like myself. I cannot take D seriously 
for commercial usage if I cannot rely on at least 3 versions of 
the compiler. We need one for stable, another for testing/release 
candidate (these two I would rely on), and a 3rd for adding in 
new stuff for the compiler + lib devs. However there probably 
should be a forth "experimental" branch for people like Walter 
who perform experimental work, such as the spontaneous 
introduction of UDA's.

Debian follows a similar system, and is a clear real-world 
example of a very good development and release process.

Currently, I'm concluding that I simply cannot rely on D for 
anything but experimental tinkering, which means back to C++ for 
the commercial work that I do for a living, and that's a real 
shame! D has a lot of potential, but it's being undermined by a 
willy-nilly process, which honestly speaking boils down to 
decisions being made by the current management at the helm.
