Hello,
I'd like to announce the initial release of Visual D, a Visual Studio
package providing both project management and language services for
integration of the D programming language into Visual Studio.
Here are some features:
* Project management
o all DMD command line options accessible
o support for resource compiler
o custom build commands
o pre/post custom build steps
o automatic dependency generation
o automatic link between dependent projects
o integrates cv2pdb for seamless debugger integration
o new project templates
* Language Service
o syntax highlighting
o simple word-completion
o import statement completion
o goto definition (using JSON file from compilation)
o smart indentation
o highlight/jump-to matching braces
o code snippets
* Supported Visual Studio versions
o VS 2005, VS 2008
o with some limitations: VS.NET 2003, VS 2010
* Easy installer for hassle-free installation
And for the fun and frustration: Visual D is completely written in D.
Visual D can be downloaded from http://www.dsource.org/projects/visuald
This project is still at an early stage, so you might notice a lot of
rough edges. You can find a list of known issues on the feature-page.
Any feedback is welcome.
Enjoy,
Rainer
