I think that fixing such bugs is quite general interest. I'm not 
asking to do enhancement required solely to me. I'm asking to fix 
a bug, very bad bug.

Some changes may require Ctrl+F5 to refresh the cache.

Thanks to everyone who helped testing the boundaries so far! This 
definitely sped up the initial finalization phase by a large margin. 
There are still some open points, but this gets close to being a 
complete product:


- Implement moderation (!) and user registration to avoid identity 
spoofing (pluggable source user database)
- Additional heuristics to prevent batch operations from a single 
client, possibly just showing a CAPTCHA for IPs that show a high 
frequency of operations on the same topic(s)
- Work out how to best limit the visual or functional nesting level of 
comments

- Translations to more languages

The reason why your post is not appropriate here is in the name 
of the forum: "announce". Many D users follow this list – and in 
part indeed via email – to keep up with interesting news, 
developments, and events in the wider community. If the volume 
becomes too high, the forum loses its reason to exist, and we 
could just merge it into the general forum entirely.


If you are having trouble figuring out what to post here, a great 
way to start is to ask yourself: "What would happen if every D 
user posted  here?" What would happen if every D user 
posted about the initial release of their smaller project/a fresh 
release of their well-known project here? Great, that will keep 
people up to speed with what's happening in the community. What 
would happen if everybody posted about bugs they find and want 
fixed here? Not so much. There are many more severe issues 
discovered frequently, yet you don't read about them here – 
because the bug tracker is the place to report them.


Of course, in this case, you might want to inform compiler 
developers that you can offer a bounty for timely fixes. But the 
appropriate place to do so is the DMD development list, or maybe 
– if you think that the wider D audience might be able to help – 
the general dm.D forum.


It goes without saying that respecting the rules and workings of 
a community you want help from will drastically increase the 
chances of actually receiving it.

I'm inclined to agree with David on this one, but I really don't want to
argue about it. Just remember that this newsgroup is intended for
announcements that the wider D community would be interested in and that
communication here should be kept to a minimum. This is precisely the list
that folks sign up for when they want to hear about the big stuff but don't
want to deal with any of the chatter. And anyone posting here should keep
that in mind.

Being somewhat resistant to DDoS attacks is one of the secondary 
goals, but by the nature of it it would be very limited in what 
it can achieve there. A large scale cloud based approach is the 
only real solution.


The project is currently on hold. I'd still like to finish it, 
but I had to resort to other solutions for the time being (lack 
of time).

The change log for this new version quite important.

Major additions:

- GDB commander, a GDB UI, only under linux.
- Project groups.
- Compiler paths, defines and select several D compilers.

Picked among the other additions:

- support for the DUB scripts (in addition to my runnable 
module system).

- support for DUB SDL projects in read-only mode.
- Halstead metrics for D.

But there is really much more [1].

As usual, I provide binaries for linux and Windows.
