Vibe.d supports and test with frontend ranging from 2.065 to 2.067 for the
three major compilers (https://github.com/rejectedsoftware/vibe.d#support).
As soon as 2.068 is released (and the new Vibe.d released), 2.065 will be
dropped, and I'm very glad for it. Working with this version has been a
major pain for the last weeks, the most recent one being the compiler
locking itself up for an unknown reason.
I want dub to gain compiler-support knowledge at some point: e.g.
automating testing for all applications in the registry, and status
displayed (with automated docs).
FYI Kiith-Saa build an automated doc generation website for the registry.
