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!
I used it for more than year but after switching OS /
re-installation I used the OS's terminal for a while. Now I'm
back on Tilix. I am delighted. It's more fun this way.
