DWT Moved to GitHub

I had intended to post about this when I first saw it in the DWT newsgroup, but it slipped my mind. Luckily, Jacob reposted it in the announce newsgroup. He has picked up DWT and lugged it over to github, breaking the packages up into submodules in the process. From the announcement:

Use these commands to clone the repository and get all submodules:

$ git clone git://github.com/d-widget-toolkit/dwt.git
$ git submodule init
$ git submodule update

In another post, he mentioned that he has no time for DWT development himself at the moment, but will happily accept pull requests. So those of you with the wherewithal to do some work on DWT , your country (that would be D Land) needs you.

Visual D 0.3.30

A new release of Visual D, the plugin for Visual Studio, has been uncaged. I’ve already installed it. Rather than quote the announcement, I’ll just point you over to DFeed so you can read it in full. Gotta love DFeed.

D Version Manager 0.4.0

D Version Manager “allows you to easily download and install D compilers and manage different versions of the compilers.” A new version has been released which adds the ability to compile DMD, DRuntime and Phobos (either from a github clone or from an official release package). For more info on the release, see the announcement thread over at DFeed.

Happy New Year

I’m looking forward to a wonderful year in D-Land. Of course, I expect to see continued growth of the community and improvement in the compilers. But more than that, I have a feeling that this could be a bigger year for D than ever. If you asked me why, I couldn’t tell you. It’s just a feeling.

Have a happy and healthy new year!

Derelict Updates

Users of Derelict 2 should upgrade to the latest and greatest. The newest DMD releases broke compilation, but the repository now contains fixes. Also, I discovered that DerelictAllegro wasn’t Tango-ready, so now it is.
