The original Chris Miller has announced a new version of his string module, now called mtext rather than ‘dstring’. New in this version (besides the name change):
* support for both Phobos and Tango;
* allocators, allowing more control over memory usage, especially when the garbage collector is not desired;
* updated the code to work better with modern D compilers, such as using opAssign;
* and made name changes to work better with D’s standard string and dstring types.

Matthias Thurau has announced the freeware game Atomorun2008. He put together a homemade 3D engine, using OpenGL (through Derelict, of course), for the game. I’ll give it a spin when I make some time. Let me know how it plays!
Oh, Matthias says he might release the source if people are interested in it
