[dmd-beta] Releasing 2.066.1

[Steven Schveighoffer via dmd-beta]

Martin,

If you recall, in 2.066, the AA code was changed to use typeinfo.equals instead of typeinfo.compare.

This caused a so called "regression", which prompted Walter to undo the work that disallows AA keys with compare override but not equals override (a knee jerk reaction IMO to the term "regression"). I believe you had written the code for and pushed for that error. I haven't seen your voice on that change, but I thought it was not a good idea to remove that error.

I don't think it has been undone for classes either, so at least current git head is inconsistent.

Your thoughts? Releasing 2.066.1 as is will allow code built to expect opCmp to work as an AA key will silently fail as we discussed (I tested this a few weeks ago).
