Around the release of 2.068 I saw a couple of threads about Objective C compatibility in D, but it wasn't merged into stable for 2.068. Is this going to be merged into 2.069? Any improvements from the very basic support that was shown? Is there any documentation?

Also, before DDMD, people were talking how D needed better C++ compatibility for it to work, but I can't find much documentation on any improvements either, as the documentation for C++ interface on the website hasn't been changed since March. Is this better compatibility going to be in 2.069?

I think it's already merged into stable

Unfortunately no.

There's an open pull request for that [1]. You can either read that or the tests in the compiler [2].

See some comments by author of magicport here and there.  For C++ much more already works than dlang.org suggests.  Thaut's comments here are useful:

It's worth just writing simple a C++ program and trying so that you get a feel for it before trying to hook up an entire library.
