Will there be support for looking for dscanner.ini in .config 
rather than in project directory?

The paragraph I like the most there is: "The other important 
difference is that deferred_heap meets C++'s zero-overhead 
principle by being opt-in and granular, not default and global"


That is what I like the most about Herb's work...


We already have opt-in for the most part and I've been pushing 
for granular with isolated since at least 2014. So yeah, Herb's 
proposal is old news, but worse, it is kind of disappointing that 
it is anything new for the D community. I'm not sure if I or the 
community failed, but clearly there is a major failure here.

Re: WinTab (wacom tablet API) and Windows Core Audio bindings - new DUB packages

Hello,

I've published two new DUB packages.

derelict-wintab: derelict binding of WinTab32.DLL - API for 
Wacom digitizer tablets.


wasapi: translation of Windows Core Audio interfaces (Core 
Audio interfaces: MMDevice, WASAPI, EndpointVolume API).


I'm using them in my SoundTab project - Theremin-like 
synthesizer app which uses Wacom tablet as input device.


Just in hope it might be useful for someone.


One more binding shared: Derelict binding for libmpg123 library 
(mp3 decoder).

DUB package name: derelict-mpg123
