In what way is this is a major milestone ? LDC is really stable for quite some time. I felt that the 0.xx version scheme was no longer appropriate. E.g. many companies still consider a 0.xx version as not production ready. I raised the topic on the newsgroup. Outcome of the discussion was that the first version based on the frontend written in D should be version 1.0. (This is a major milestone.) In this sense there is nothing special about this version. We tried to make it the best LDC version ever - but we have this goal for every LDC release. Regards, Kai

D syntax highlighting support for Jekyll websites in v1.11.0
Hey guys I implemented D syntax highlighting for rouge that is the default syntax highlighter for Jekyll. If you have a github pages jekyll site you will be able to post D code and get highlighting when pages moves to version 1.11.0 . It is very identical to the pygments highliter but ported to ruby and rouge. https://github.com/jneen/rouge

Tiobe Index again - now 5 month in Top 20
http://www.tiobe.com/tiobe_index For the first time in the history of the TIOBE index a language needs to have a rating of more than 1.0% to be part of the top 20.[] More detailed development: http://www.tiobe.com/tiobe_index?page=D I was watching it, after D jumped to 15th position in Feb. Index (based on Jan numbers). Than D went down to 20th, stayed there for 3 month and is now up to 19. position. I do not want to restart the discussion again, about the value of this index, I just want to mention it and I think it is good for the general awareness about D to be placed in the top 20. (Like sunny weather, when you are going by bike - you would not like to start to discuss the weather here? :-) ) Regards mt.

Hi, Here is what I've learned: - use VS 2015 preferably, - since a while the stock LDC package work as is, nothing to configure, - use PATH and --compiler=ldc2 or --compiler=path/to/compiler.exe to tell dub where LDC is (separate packages for 32-bit and 64-bit), - to avoid a dependency on the VS 2015 runtime, add the following linker flags: "lflags-windows-ldc": [ "libcmt.lib", "/nodefaultlib:msvcrt.lib", "/nodefaultlib:vcruntime.lib" ], - executables made with LDC are not supported on XP and Vista, but seem to work regardless :)

I'll have to ask him about this one, too. The only way I know to enable this is via an .htaccess file and it looks like those might not be enabled. Also, one suggestion I have is to use a Wordpress plugin that caches the page results into static HTML. This saves the server regenerating the templates every page load, which requires a slow round trip to the database. Glad you mentioned this. Caching is something I've never bothered with on my other Wordpress blogs, so it didn't cross my mind for this one. The only one I recall hearing of is WP Super Cache. Looking at [1], it's in the top three along with W3 Total Cache and WP Fastest Cache. Any recommendations? [1] https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/wp-cache

Re: LDC 1.0.0 has been released!
LDC has been splendid for a long while. This release is in some sense nothing special. However, as we all know, moving from 0.x.y to 1.x.y holds a special place in the minds of people not already aware of a product. Now we can promote D in places it had not been promotable before because of the Version 1 effect. Well done to Kai, David, and everyone who has contributed to LDC over the years for making the product. -- Russel. = Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:russel.win...@ekiga.net 41 Buckmaster Roadm: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: rus...@winder.org.uk London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
