Thanks for the hard work, Sönke & other DUB contributors. Also, thanks to those who take the time to create DUB packages for their software.

DUB is a large factor in my consistent usage of the D programming language.

What is the default UAC level on your system? By default it is one notch below authentication for any kind of change.

I always configure it for full authentication no matter what.

After updating, to 0.9.21 "dub generate visuald" no longer generates "release" and "unittest"configurations for VisualD - only "debug" is available. I downgraded to 0.9.20 to make sure and indeed this version generates VisualD projects correctly (with all 3 configurations)

I whish visualD would support loading dub.json natively just like mono-d does
