D Bits- Setting Thread Affinity on Windows in D April 3, 2012When working with D's standard library, it is sometimes necessary to work around missing declarations in the core.sys.windows.windows module.

DMD 1.065 and 2.050
Last week, just before Halloween, Walter announced DMD 1.065 and 2.050. Both are primarily bugfix releases. I think the big news in 2.050 is that the purity rules have been relaxed.
