Hi group,
Somewhat new to D.
What is the recommended procedure, if any, to upgrade my DMD
installation (on Windows, if that makes a difference)?
I.e. If I have 2.70.0 and I saw that 2.17.1 is out now, I can
look at the list of bug fixes and any new features in the new
version and decide whether I want to upgrade, or wait for another
version with more changes that matter to me. That is not what my
question is about. My question is about:
- should I just install the new version in the same directory,
over the old version, or do I need to uninstall the old version
first.
- if I have to first uninstall the old version, are there any
persistent setting for the compiler that I need to save before
the uninstall and then restore after the new install?
- any other things I need to take care of?
Thanks.
