  • Update prev/next navigation in changelogs

• Test building the stable branch
  • cd installer/create_dmd_release
  • rdmd build_all v2.068.0 stable
  • possibly fix build script, repos, or update patches

• Tag a new version

 for proj in dmd druntime phobos tools dlang.org installer; do
   pushd $proj
   git fetch upstream
   git tag -sm 'v2.068.1-b1' v2.068.1-b1
