Here’s an interesting little D project about which I’ve never noticed an announcement in any of the usual D news forums: Moonglide graphics engine. There’s very little information about the project on that page at the moment, so I’ll reproduce it in its entirety here:
Opensource GPL V3 crossplatform multirender graphics engine, written in DigitalMars D 1.0 + miniD + Tango. The aim is to use it for a spacesim game.
That’s all I know about it! All of the source and a couple of demos are available from the project page.

I’ve just committed several changes to the Derelict trunk. All packages are affected in one way or another, but the primary change is that DerelictIL, ILU, & ILUT have all been updated to the latest version of DevIL. You can read more about it in this forum post.

While I was laid out on my sofa suffering from a massive hangover, Walter released new versions of both DMD branches. 1.037 is strictly a bugfix release, while 2.021 gets fixes and several new features. It’s of interest to note that this time around the bugfixes are a direct result of what D users considered to be important. Good times!
The usual reminder: if you are new to D, the 1.x series is what you should be using for production. The 2.x series is a moving target and not production-ready. The new 2.021 includes breaking changes, for example.

I’ve begun in the Derelict trunk to lay the groundwork for Derelict 2. I started with DerelictAL and found it was actually rather messed up. It’s now current (and accurate) with OpenAL 1.1. You can read more about the latest changes over in the Derelict forums.

It’s been a few months since the last release of DFL, but Original Chris Miller recently announced DFL 0.98. No news on a new version of Entice Designer just yet, but he did hint in the NG that something is in the works.
