DMD 0.163
July 19th, 2006 | by Aldacron |Walter released DMD 0.163 a few hours ago. The big changes in this release are that imports are now private by default (which means I need to update several Derelict modules) and you can now have static imports, renamed imports, and selective imports. After all of the heat on the NG recently regarding imports I’m sure several people will be happy. I didn’t see the problem with the original system, myself, but some people take these things (way too) seriously (like the const issue, which doesn’t bother me at all but some people think is a major problem).
On a side note, posts will continue to be slow here for a while yet unless there is a big announcement somewhere. I’ve got my head down in a project right now trying to meet a milestone deadline. Also, I still haven’t gotten around to squashing the bugs on my local copy of the new site layout — and probably won’t until I get that pesky milestone completed. Somewhere in there I’ve got to make room for tackling my Derelict Todo list. The import changes will need to be done ASAP, but there’s much more yet to do. Anyone have any spare time for sale?
