intro to the language.

Agree.

You might want to try a userscript I forked, which:
1. Highlights unread comments.
2. Allows to navigate through unread comments with Ctrl + Up / 
Ctrl + Down.

Why not do a presentation/article?

Unstandard, a general purpose library

2013-10-12 Thread Denis Shelomovskij
*Unstandard* is a library for general purpose usage aimed to be an 
addition to the *D* standard runtime library *Phobos*.


The author would like to pull as much functionality as possible to 
Phobos but it's a rather difficult and slow work.


NOTE: It's a personal one-man library, not some experimental stuff for 
*Phobos*. There is nothing official in it.



Project page: https://bitbucket.org/denis-sh/unstandard
Documentation: http://denis-sh.bitbucket.org/unstandard/


Partial Unstandard brief content description
---
  * For string manipulation functions see unstd.c.string and unstd.utf.
  * For user-defined lifetime implementation see unstd.lifetime.
  * For various metaprogramming stuff see unstd.generictuple, 
unstd.templates, and unstd.traits.
  * For various GC and non-GC memory manipulation stuff see 
unstd.memory.allocation, unstd.memory.misc, unstd.memory.weakref, and 
unstd.windows.heap.
  * For functions to manipulate with multidimensional rectangular 
arrays see unstd.multidimarray.


Also see for other useful stuff unstd.array, unstd.casts, unstd.math, 
and unstd.typecons.



Read documentation for more information.


P.S.
---
The library is about one year old. It has been mentioned few times in 
digitalmars.D NG as phobos-additions library. The name was changed to 
prevent thinking it has a relation to the official library.

A presentation or article of your own, unrelated to the above.
People like me are ready to learn from different sources.

Current list of regressions:

http://d.puremagic.com/issues/buglist.cgi?query_format=advancedbug_severity=regressionbug_status=NEWbug_status=ASSIGNEDbug_status=REOPENED

This isn't a release candidate, in particular the documentation needs work, but 
we need to shake the tree for any undetected regressions.


Further beta announcements go in the dmd-beta mailing list.

Note that this release contains:

29 enhancements
307 dmd bugs fixed
14 druntime bugs fixed

Great!

I'm wondering whether there will be the nifty changelog like it 
was for 2.063?

Reddit Enhancement Suite makes things much nicer, and having a

The sizes of Phobos binaries increased by a third for every OS 
except FreeBSD, which seems to have remained the same (created 17 
Feb 2013).  Aside from the FreeBSD case which is most likely a 
bug, is that an expected increase, or they are just compiled with 
some extra options for the beta, and will shrink again when the 
release comes?

Just to make it clear, I mean the difference between the 2.064 
beta provided by Walter and 2.063.2 release.
