Merge branch to stable and then merge branch to master. Works pretty well. As long as you don't merge things into stable that you never intend for master. -- Adam Wilson IRC: LightBender import quiet.dlang.dev;

I think the next step is really to add Windows support for the IODev type. Might be able to help you on that using WinAPI for I/O. (I assume bypassing libc is one of goals). That would be awesome! Yes, the idea is to avoid any "extra" buffering. So using CreateFile, ReadFile, etc. -Steve
