For the features, the main line is DIP driven. Big changes come from this, always. Then all the regressions, critical, major, industry, compiler crashes, bugs. There are also tendencies, usually started from News Group discussions. For example since a few days the tendency is to work on reducing the memory use. A few weeks ago it was about templates and their cost. Tendencies are not necessarily followed by many contributors. For example since several weeks Wlater Bright is working on replacing the internal data structures used in the back end, and almost alone. Just to highlight the fact that there can be coherant (non random) initiatives. Then the remainings bits are indivudally driven, good willing driven, mood driven... for example if someone finds a problem and that he can fix it by himself then he does.

Just search for D programming or something. Its the most popular one there. One would assume such information is obvious to find but it is not. Unless you're already familiar with the ecosystem.

For LDC, we don't do 'our own thing', but use MSVC++ EH, which allows to catch MSVC++ exceptions in D, and with some work, D exceptions in C++.

Alas not much help if you must use those other builds
Catching OS Exceptions in Windows using LDC
Hi, I'd like to catch the OS Exceptions including: - access violation - int 3 - invalid opcode etc. The default behavior is that when these events happen, the program immediately exits with some negative exit code. It was not a problem on other systems like: MSVC or Delphi, but on LDC these events are completely ignored. It would be very useful to catch these errors inside and have the opportunity to handle it whatever is the best: application exit, save important data, ignore. I've already found a solution from Adam D. Ruppe, but that's for Linux for the Access Violation case. But is there a similar thing for Windows as well? PS: I do believe rely on AccessViolation to avoid buffer overruns is really useless and unsecure. But it would be so much help for me for developing/debugging my programs. Thank You!
