When I attempt to revert to 0.8.2 by editing dub.sdl to have "==0.8.2" instead of "~>0.8.2" everywhere and doing dub clean --all-packages then dub --force I get a compilation error for vibe itself, specifically memory.d, yet I had a clean functional build earlier today.

What should I do to revert cleanly, as 0.8.3 gives my working project a compilation error that didn't exist before (see https://forum.rejectedsoftware.com/groups/rejectedsoftware.vibed/post/50035)?

The error message is as follows.

My dub.sdl contains these functional lines

dependency "vibe-d" version="==0.8.2"
dependency "vibe-d:core" version="==0.8.2"
subConfiguration "vibe-d:core" "vibe-core"

Any help greatly appreciated, especially if soon.

You also need to revert your compiler to pre-2.079.0 because older vibe.d versions do not compile with the current dmd.

It looks like it's still picking up the vibe-core configuration for
vibe-d:core, and unfortunately the allocator changed made it necessary
to tie vibe-core 1.4.0 to vibe.d 0.8.3. So to let it compile
successfully, vibe-core needs to be forced to 1.3.0.

dependency "vibe-core" version="==1.3.0" worked.
---many thanks.
