Still no dmd.conf or 64bit binaries for FreeBSD.

FreeBSD libphobos2.a not updated in 2.064 betas (and now in the 
release candidate, too):

I don't have a FreeBSD system to test whether anything actually 
works, but a 23M half-year-old standard library file in the 
zip-archive looks just plain wrong.  No library updates since 
February?..

I have asked Jordi to remove those some time ago to avoid 
confusion with official Arch packages as matching build script 
was very obsolete and did not conform packaging guidelines. If 
having an easily available beta/rc package is desired, it can be 
trivially added to AUR.

You mean after this release it will be named 2.064.1, etc? Then don't
call it a release candidate, is confusing. If is really an rc (which
since you don't want to make an official announcement yet, I guess it
is), please do what you did with the betas. All the same reasons to name
the betas uniquely apply to release candidates. Just change beta1 with
rc1 and make everybody happy. Is just one more little step! :)

Please, please, please, never, ever overwrite released packages (betas
and rc included) with a new one. You should consider them read-only
after you create and publish them.

Then be consistent with how you announce the releases (beta, rc, final)
and the version numbers you are using.

Thanks!

Hi Sönke,


Congratulations for your hard work.


One question,
How do you think your framework running in development mode where 
a huge amount of models with many business rules exist. A system 
under development can be slow, like java where a signature change 
in the method requires reload of the whole application.

the low memory and computational overhead.

Some of its key fatures are:

 - Built-in support for MongoDB and Redis databases
 - WebSocket support
 - Natural Json and Bson handling
 - A package manager for seemless use of extension libraries

See http://vibed.org/ for more information and some example
applications (there are some things in the works such as an
etherpad clone and an NNTP server).

vibe.d is in a working state and enters its first beta-phase
now to stabilize the current feature set. After that, a
small list of additional features is planned before the 1.0
release.

The framework can be downloaded or GIT cloned from

I might recommend to wait a bit before trying it in production 
until CI suite is figured out (it is work in progress), there are 
some concerns with stability/regressions right now because it 
grows just too fast.


Once this stuff is back under control though, there is no reason 
why it shouldn't scale to complex business logic scenarios. It 
may require writing own modules for something like XML-based 
configuration or similar Java-ish stuff as vibe.d itself is more 
declarative / procedural in style but foundation is pretty solid.


I also recommend asking more specific questions in vibe.d own 
newsgroup as Sonke pays more attention to it, he is obviously 
quite a busy guy :)

If you are installing from the zip file, you need to have VCINSTALLDIR 
and WindowsSdkDir environment variables set. These are set if you open 
the console window for the Visual Studio version you want to use. These 
settings were hardcoded in sc.ini to the default installation path of 
VS2010 in previous dmd releases, but stripping the drive name.


The windows installer will patch sc.ini to contain the paths of the most

not for D development. Just keep the customizations and non-default 
packages to a minimum.



What I'd like is someone to become the build master who will get
Brad's autotester to automatically and routinely build each platform
install package.

This will also have the effect of better dealing with the constant
breakage of the scripts that build those packages.


Yeah, that would be nice.

get it.




I've had a virtual machine setup at one point, but those things require
significant time to set up and to keep them from breaking (my virtual
machine setups all broke when I upgraded Ubuntu).


Personally I don't think it takes up so much time to setup, especially not for D
development. Just keep the customizations and non-default packages to a minimum.


Heck, I had spent considerable time just trying to figure out *which* virtual 
box to install. Each option came with a long list of caveats and things that 
didn't work. Some would work with one OS, some with another, the one I did 
download would kinda sorta work with NetBSD, but not really, etc. Then, of 
course, was having it all wiped out by upgrading Ubuntu.


It's not impossible to do. There's just a significant time sink involved in 
figuring out which one to get, getting it installed, getting it working, and 
keeping it working. It's actually easier to just buy another machine.

What exactly do you mean?


You posted links to installers for all platforms except for Windows.


Ah, I see. I'd overlooked that one. I thought Rainer meant he wanted me to 
cherry-pick some installer pull into 2.064.

Thanks. The Visual D installation is missing from this installer. 
Obviously, https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/installer/pull/23 
has never been merged. As I've just released a new version, it would be 
nice if it could link to the new 0.3.37.

There have been a blizzard of pulls done in the last couple weeks, and it isn't 
always clear to me which ones should go in 2.064. A note to me would be helpful 
with this.


Also, is that pull enough, or are you suggesting it needs further modification?

Why use lossy emails?  Submit pull requests against the branch (with a pointer in the request to the 
associated master pull to help confirm that it's already been merged there first).  That way it'll 
both get tested appropriately and not lost in the shuffle.

Thanks so much. As I've said before, this is an absolutely critical, yet
often overlooked piece of the ecosystem.
Good to see plenty of life in the project! :)

Note: I saw Alexander Bothe released an update to the parser one day after
your release... ;)

 There is always something I broke or overlooked, so let's not make an
 announcement yet until this is good to go. The web site needs updating, too.



For the second time, the license on the readme.txt distributed with the
sources is wrong?

I don't understand, the binaries and Phobos are included in the zip (I 
haven't verified that they work). But dmd.conf is not. Can't you include 
dmd.conf just because your machine runs out of memory?

I'm not sure I understand what you're meaning. If I want to install 
Ubuntu, I just create a new virtual machine (using VirtualBox), download 
Ubuntu and makes a default installation. If I want Fedora, I do the same 
thing but I download and install Fedora instead.


NetBSD? We don't even support NetBSD. For FreeBSD, just do the same 
thing, download FreeBSD. Actually, for FreeBSD I installed PC-BSD 
instead. That will include a GUI by default, making it basically just as 
easy to use as Ubuntu.


The only thing that I had some trouble with is cross-compiling. That is, 
building 32bit on a 64bit machine.



It's not impossible to do. There's just a significant time sink involved

I'm not going to argue. If you have trouble picking which ISO image to 
download we can help you.


What's taking the most time for me is download the ISO and wait for the 
installation. But I can do other things while waiting.
