Lutger’s Stuff
Lutger has updated lodepng. From the NG announcement:
lodepng, a smallish png codec, has been updated to incorporate modest
png-editing capabilities. I've made some small changes to the encoding
interface as well.
He also posted news of the ptrace utility:
ptrace is a small utility that can parse dmd's trace.log files to make a bit
more readable html from them.You'll need a recent tango to use it. It works via the ddoc system, but now
has the option to invoke dmd in one go thus being a bit more user-friendly.
Just execute ptrace in a directory with a trace.log file, see the wiki
and 'ptrace -h' for details.

D Game Postmortem
I meant to post this a few days ago and it slipped my mind. Jonathan Breuer put up a postmortem on his experience using D to develop a little game as part of the process of learning the language. Based on some of the steps he took, I can see there is a need for more up-to-date tutorials to help people get up and running.

DMD 1.026 and 2.010
I'm a bit late on this, but Walter released new versions of the DMD 1.x and DMD 2.x compilers recently. Both are mostly bugfix releases. A friendly reminder: DMD 2.x is an unstable developmental branch and should not be used for production code.
