Dear D community
A new version of Tango is now available for download. The release is named
after Sean Kelly for his past work on the Tango runtime and now druntime.
The release have several new features, and fairly major changes to tie the
IO even closer together. To make the transition easier, the previous
incarnation is still available for this release.
This has been a much delayed release compared to the earlier Tango releases,
but time has been spent fairly well, covering 301 closed tickets and more
than 600 commits.
* Final refinement of the IO
* JSON parser/builder
* FTP adapter for the VFS by Lester L. Martin II
* Serial port support by Robin Kreis
* Inter-thread communication by Steven Schveighoffer
* /dev/null support by Fawzi Mohamed
* Random framework by same Fawzi
* BigInt by Don Clugston
* Updated for DMD 1.041, including Mac support
* Support for LDC
* OpenSolaris support by BlueZeniX
* New API docs courtesy of Aziz and Moritz
* More containers such as HashFile
For a complete list of changes please see the changelog. We welcome all
feedback and testing.
We're in the process of updating to new API docs as mentioned above, now

That's great.
A few thoughts on the new documentation:
The new dil generated documentation is a little hard to read. There is
no space after the documentation of an item and the text item. I also
liked the old font better than the new. Now when the documentation for
object.di is actually generated we could perhaps get some documentations
for it.
Other from that I really like the new documentation.
