Please say hello to our third team member: Razvan Nitu
Welcome Razvan.
For those who cannot reach github today due to DNS DDOS attack
Put these in your /etc/hosts file: 192.30.253.113 github.com 151.101.44.133 assets-cdn.github.com 54.236.140.90 collector.githubapp.com 192.30.253.116 api.github.com 192.30.253.122 ssh.github.com 151.101.44.133 avatars0.githubusercontent.com 151.101.44.133 avatars1.githubusercontent.com 151.101.44.133 avatars2.githubusercontent.com 151.101.44.133 avatars3.githubusercontent.com Windows users: Edit the file C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts You will need to be an administrator to change it - find notepad in start menu under accessories, right mouse click on it and "run as administrator", then load the file using file open.

Project Highlight: libasync
A big thanks to Etienne Cimon for helping me out this week by sending some info on libasync my way, almost as soon as I asked for it, so I could do another Project Highlight. As usual, the relevant links follow.

Unless any pressing issues appear, expect the next release to be an experimental branch showcasing a beta of a new API. If possible, I'd like to have at least one release where the old API is still functional, but deprecated. Please consider to look at the APIs of the other mysql libs, maybe there is one which you can use. I found it easier to use the APIs of mysql-d (https://github.com/paxa/mysql.d) but mysql-lited (https://github.com/eBookingServices/mysql-lited) looks more enhanced. Hmm, actually, there appears to be a lot of similarity with part of what I had in mind: https://github.com/mysql-d/mysql-native/issues/83 In particular, I *really* want to pretty much get rid of the Command struct. Minimizing heap activity is also a goal, albeit separate from this API refresh. But here too: Documentation is not ready yet I would be very happy, if in the end there would be only one superior mysql-lib for D, so all can work together to improve this one. mysql-native gets very few PRs. :(

Now you can view the assembly output of GDC and LDC side-by-side, for example: https://godbolt.org/g/y24RGI cheers, Johan That's great!! -- Andrei
