A new version of tilix has been released. For those not
familiar with it, Tilix is a terminal emulator for Linux
written in D using GTK. The list of changes is available here:

As always, I'm always looking for people who are interested in
contributing, PRs welcome.
Finally a big thank you to Mike Wey who has continued to work
on and evolve GtkD. Working on libraries is often behind the
scenes work that doesn't get the appreciation it deserves.
I was struck by a recent reddit post on the gnome shell memory
leak which involved C and javascript, it mentioned how
difficult it is to merge two different memory models. Mike has
managed this with aplomb in terms of integrating the Gtk
reference counting into D's GC. So thanks Mike, your efforts
are much appreciated!
Since I'm on Windows I sadly can't use it, but I suggested it to
my colleagues - which are using Ubuntu - half a year ago and they
use it since then and still love it. So keep up the good work! :)
