Recent announcements from D Land.

* If you are doing any graphics programming in D, you may be interested in gl3n, a math library explicitly geared toward that purpose.

* Version 0.3.29 of VisualD has been announced. This release includes a nifty little tool that will convert C++ code to D.

* Another IDE plugin has hit the streets. This one, called Mono-D, is “a MonoDevelop AddIn which provides code completion/refactoring features and project management for D.”

* And good news for Windows developers who don’t want to use DMD. A new version of MingW GDC is out, with support for Thread-Local Storage. For this one, Daniel Green’s full newsgroup announcement is quoted below.

Please post all issues in D.gnu or on GDC’s bitbucket site https://bitbucket.org/goshawk/gdc

* Built against TDM GCC 4.6.1:  http://tdm-gcc.tdragon.net/
