If the last release was anything to go by - I think it was 4 months in development - there were quite a lot of changes that stepped on the toes of the GNU frontend code that required a few unexpected changes. eg; introduction of struct Obj. Plus the shear size of changes makes it a delicate task to make sure that anything pulled in does not remove any GDC-specific changes in D Frontend. Maybe it's just me, but so far this has been 5 months in development, and the thought of working on a larger set of changes just seems to be an impending daunt over my head. :o) It shouldn't be though, it should just be as simple as a replacing the old files with the new and done. But that's something that should consider to work towards in the future. -- Iain Buclaw *(p < e ? p++ : p) = (c & 0x0f) + '0';
