To be fair, some time ago I've had the joy to try and properly support scrolling gestures properly for my UI framework and I wound up naming the window class of my windows OperaWindowClass, because that triggers a special case path in the touchpad driver, which actually sends useful window messages. I didn't find another way to get useful data. The whole (Synaptics) driver is obviously nothing but a crapload of special case junk to make the most popular applications and controls work, because the people involved obviously don't manage to develop a standard API for pixel perfect scrolling. Now that was a surprise! I just could not understand why I receive WM_MOUSEWHEEL only with 120 as Delta, but Internet Explorer receives fine grained (ex. 24). Seting the window class name as you said, 'solves' indeed the problem!

These builds are mostly unsupported and will likely have many more bugs than the older releases posted by Daniel so don't expect too much. Glad to hear there is some progress here, but are there plans to make this supported in the future? Also, what is the difference between Daniel Green's build, and the native Standard Builds? Daniels builds apply some more patches, see https://github.com/venix1/MinGW-GDC for details. The builds on gdcproject.org use the standard git sources of gdc which only include the subset of these patches that's necessary to compile run a hello world program. I'm not familiar with the internals of compiler and runtime architecture, but I'm curious, why is is that so many complicated patches are necessary? I understand the D runtime has to access Windows API, correct? But that should all be available in the MinGW target as well, no? Otherwise, what is the difference here when DMD for Windows is compiled, vs when GDC is compiled? DMD x86 on Windows uses the Digital Mars toolchain for linking, etc. DMD x86_64 on Windows uses the MSVC toolchain for linking, etc. GDC on Windows uses the GNU toolchain for linking, etc. Another potentially crucial difference is that DMD compiles directly to object file. GCC requires an assembler installed. This probably does make it easier for DMD to invented custom sections for its own abuse.

Livestreaming DConf?
Hi folks, We at Facebook are very excited about the upcoming DConf 2014. In fact, so excited we're considering livestreaming the event for the benefit of the many of us who can't make it to Menlo Park, CA. Livestreaming entails additional costs so we're trying to assess the size of the online audience.

Re: Livestreaming DConf?
I *might* watch some of it on the 'net myself since I most likely won't actually be in Menlo Park until Friday the 23rd. The whole week is gonna be hell for me tho so idk if I actually would stream or not. Watching later on youtube like we did last year is cool by me too.
