Chris Miller has announced a new version of Entice Designer, the GUI builder and rich code editor for his DFL library. From the NG announcement:
New features in this version include:
* Advanced Find.
* Split editor view.
* File bookmarking and saved bookmarks.
* More plugin features.
* Autocomplete for Tango (as well as Phobos and DFL).
* and many more enhancements, options and bug fixes!
The changelog can be found in Help->About Readme.
One thing to note about Entice Designer is it is quite fast.
It starts up and runs quite fast even on 10 year old hardware.

Version 0.2.1 of Mmrnmhrm, a D IDE built on Eclipse, has been released. Several improvements in the editing component this time around. From the NG:
== Mmrnmhrm 0.2.1 (2007-10-23) ==
* Fixed major bug with document syntax highlighting and partitions.
* Improved name lookup: statement blocks and enum bodies are now supported correctly (they don’t see forward definitions anymore).
* Improved Code completion: duplicates or occluded names are no longer presented.
* Can now set, view, and remove Descent-compatible breakpoints in Mmrnmhrm’s editor (these will work with Descent’s debugger).
* DDoc text and code completion hovers are now processed and presented as HTML instead of raw characters, thanks to Ary Mazana’s Descent DDoc parser.
* Fixed some Neo AST bugs.
* Minor builder changes (builder still work in progress).

Ary Manzana has released a small update for his Eclipse plugin. The comments in his NG post seem fairly important, so I’ve included most of his original post here:
These is a small release, but the first feature is the one I use most in JDT, so…:
- Added an Open Type dialog.
- Fixed a bug relating to Descent not showing the source code when debugging with gdb.
- The Build Path property page is back. This was removed in a previous release because it mainly has unimplemented features, but it has the “Source Folders” page which is in did useful.
Some notes:
- To bring up the Open Type dialog press Ctrl + T in an open editor (or go to Navigate -> Open Type…). There you can quickly open a type (class, interface, enum or template) by typing a substring of it’s name, or for example typing SE will return SelectionEvent, SmartEscape, etc. (the funcionality is similar to that of JDT). This only works in open D editors, unlike the Java’s one which works everywhere. The problem is that if I bind that combination to “everywhere” (window, actually), then both of them doesn’t work. In CDT this also only works in an open editor. (I think Eclipse is taking care of this problem)
We’ll consider also listing top-level functions. However, we don’t know what would be the most comfortable way to do it: in the same dialog or in another one? Also, should enums be listed? And templates?
Starting from this version, next time you want to update, you can do it from within Eclipse (you cannot do this now, though).
Note that I’ve also added a new IDE category to the blog, since there’s starting to be more IDE-related news coming out. I’ll be going through and updating all posts related to IDEs with the new tag when I can.

Björn Lietz-Spendig, better known in D-land as BLS, is working on an IDE that will work with Java, D and MiniD. There’s an interview with him over at Geertjan’s Weblog, primarily regarding his IDE project. Though, we do learn that he lives in the south of France, which always sounds great to those of us who aren’t living there.
Björn is building the IDE on the NetBeans platform. I’ve never been a fan of NetBeans myself. I’ve primarily used Eclipse for my Java projects for a few years now, though I have gotten some mileage out of the NetBeans profiler. I’ll be keeping my eye on this project, though, since I’ve not settled on any of the IDE projects for D yet. I’m still happily using Crimson Editor, but I’m waiting for the day when one of the upcoming IDEs blows me away.
