Walter has pushed out new versions of the D compilers. Version 1.057 comes with a number of bugfixes and a handful of new additions. Version 2.041 got a lot of goodies, a couple of the big ones being a new way to do operator overloading and interface contracts. D rocks!

Back in Korea

Aldacron — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 03:39:47 +0000

I've returned from my trip to Atlanta. Over the next few days I'll be getting back into my groove. One of my top priorities is to get Derelict2 ready for release, so I'll start working toward that end in the next few days. In the meantime, my ears are on again, looking for D news. [...]

I'll be heading to Atlanta, GA, USA on Feb 13th and will be in the Atlanta area (except, perhaps, for a short jaunt to Texas) until March 3rd. If any of you D folk are in the area and would like to get together for a brew or two, drop me a line at aldacron@gmail.com.

New versions of the DMD compiler have been pushed out: 1.056 and 2.040. Both versions sport a number of new features and bugfixes, including new toys to play with in CTFE. This is the first release to take advantage of the new beta mailing list, which you may want to look into joining if you [...]

D1/D2 Compatibility Annoyances

Aldacron — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 12:52:41 +0000

An annoying aspect of D for me these days, as a library maintainer, is keeping compatibility between D2 and D1. Derelict is very simple in terms of code. Aside from the shared library loading routines and a bit of logic in the DerelictGL package to help with OpenGL context management and extension loading, the majority [...]

DMD 1.055, 2.039 and the Beta Mailing List

Aldacron — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 11:03:44 +0000

Walter has released versions 1.055 and 2.039 of DMD as fixes for regressions in the previous release. Also, there is now a public mailing list for anyone interested in beta-testing new DMD releases. The goal is to help cut down on regressions. So if you do join the list, be sure to test the betas announced [...]

DMD 1.054 and 2.038

Walter has given us a New Year's gift in DMD 1.054 and 2.038. As usual, there are bugfixes in both (several this time) and a few new features in the latter. Of particular interest in D2 are the auto ref and inout functions, and template auto ref parameters. Now I need to find the time [...]

Happy Holidays!

Aldacron — Fri, 25 Dec 2009 06:27:14 +0000

Whatever form your celebrations take this holiday weekend, I hope you find happiness in it. Personally, I'll be heading to a Christmas party with my wife and another couple. I doubt we'll stay long, though, as my wife and I did a bit too much celebrating last night!

Derelict2 Updates

Aldacron — Sun, 06 Dec 2009 10:27:20 +0000

I've been making steady progress on Derelict2 lately. I still don't have a heck of a lot of time, but I'm sparing it when I can. Things are starting to shape up. One big thing I'm happy about is that I've finally settled in to a nice pattern with the makefile build system. I abandoned makefiles [...]
