Have you thought of automatically build and upload packages 
using Travis CI?


That would be a good idea. Also, I uploaded the OS X package just 
now. (Didn't realise it wasn't built yet…). —David

Visual D 0.46.0 released - more VS2017 and LDC integration

2017-12-02 Thread Rainer Schuetze via Digitalmars-d-announce

Hi,

I have just released version 0.46 of Visual D, see 
http://rainers.github.io/visuald/visuald/StartPage.html


This release doesn't come with major new features, but a list of bug 
fixes and incremental improvements, those with the largest impact:


* improved VS 2017 integration
* improved LDC support
* support for new symbol mangling and parsing 'static foreach'

See http://rainers.github.io/visuald/visuald/VersionHistory.html for the 
full version history.


Visual D is a Visual Studio extension that adds D language support to 
VS2008-2017. It is written in D, its source code can be found on github: 
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/visuald, pull requests welcome.


Happy coding,
Rainer

Hi everyone,

I made a public survey (everyone can look at the responses) and it

greatly benefit D as a whole if we had more anonymous data on users. 
I'm also open for changing some questions if there is confusion.

"How many of your colleagues used D before?"

Before what?

For the questions about OS/distro, I think you should add "FreeBSD" as 
an alternative. It's one of the officially supported platforms.


I used that like "did you use D before?" as in "did you ever use D?"


Then I would phrase that as "How many of your colleagues have used D 
before?" or "How many of your colleagues have tried D".

I think the questions about how easy it was and the quality of the 
learning material were a bit difficult to answer. For someone like me 
that learned D 10+ years ago, how should I answer those questions? How 
it was back then, or how I think it's now? For the former it might not 
be very useful because the landscape was very different back then. For 
the latter it's difficult to answer because I already now D and how to 
find the resources.

Why did you put Coedit as a choice among the open source

real contribution, something like 3 years ago. You will

it...there was so many other possible choices...and the worst 
is: it's not written in D.

Apart form the biannual update to the latest glib/gtk version,

I highly appreciate that the project is being actively maintained 
but I want to express my concern.


It would be really nice if there was an easy tutorial for the 
library. At this moment, all we got is a documentation page that 
drops you in gtkdialog page. It's almost like a solid blackbox, 
especially for people that are not familiar with developing GUI.


There is a tutorial out there but it looks unfinished, slightly 
outdated and most importantly the installation instruction of 
gtkd is for only windows and doesn't make use of dub.



I wish there was a nice and up to date tutorial like
