I proposed the idea, but I don't think I'd be a very good mentor for the project because I've never created a 2D rasterizer myself. However, I'd be happy to help anyone working on the project in an unofficial capacity, and can probably articulate the intended use case for it. Mike

dxml 0.4.0 has now been released. It doesn't have a lot of changes, but dxml.parser.getAttrs should be particularly useful. It's like getopt but for attributes.

This will allow us to package Mir for Debian. At the moment, there is nothing using Mir in Debian (obviously) and nothing using it is planned for packaging, but adding it might be useful still, since it can also - with some limits - be used from non-D code. I only worry about potential name clashes with Mir (the display server) in Ubuntu ^^

Meson support for Mir and Lubeck
The Meson Build system [13] support was added to the following Dub packages: asdf [1] - JSON serialisation library cblas [2] - CBLAS header for Dlang lapack [3] - LAPACK header for Dlang lubeck [4] - High level linear algebra library mir-algorithm [5] - Core algorithm library and a home for Dlang multidimensional array package - ndslice mir-blas [6] - ndslice wrapper for CBLAS mir-lapack [7] - ndslice wrapper for LAPACK mir-linux-kernel [8] - Linux headers for Dlang mir-optim [9] - Optimisation framework mir-random [10] - Advanced random number engines and random distributions The packages have been tested in a real world project on OSX with `$ meson configure -Ddefault_library=static/`. They can be included into a meson project using Meson Wrap files in the `subprojects` directory. See mir-optim project for an example.

Dub support was added to Meson
Hello,
Dub support was finally merged to the Meson's upstream.
For the ones that don't know, Meson[1] is a fast build system
that uses ninja[2] as a backend. Until now it was impossible to
use dependencies via the Dub and many many packages only
supported Dub. Now you can import dependencies that already exist
in Dub's local repo. You still need to fetch and build them
though.
First, you need to fetch and build the dependency.
dub fetch vibe-d
dub build vibe-d
Then you just need to specify Dub as the dependency method.
vibed_dep = dependency('vibe-d', method: 'dub')
Together with this, a 'dlang' module was also merged. You can use
it to automatically generate a dub.json file.
Here's an example.
dlang = import('dlang') # Import the module
# dlang.generate_dub_file(project-name,
path/to/where/to/install/the/dub/file,
# arguments... )
dlang.generate_dub_file(meson.project_name().to_lower(),
meson.source_root(),
authors: 'Foo',
description: 'Bar',
copyright: 'Copyright © 2018, Foo',
license: 'MIT',
sourceFiles: 'foobar.d',
targetType: 'executable',
dependencies: vibed_dep
)
If you have any issue with this, contact me at
la...@archlinux.org.
Thank you,

As I understand it, they do not increase your executable size unless used. Besides, the bindings include the @trusted and scope attributes C++ headers don't, and are quicker to compile.
