It looked out of place on non-Mac systems. On OS X on the other hand, the monospace font is rendered hardly different from the serif one. I've added the border back, but lighter and with vertical padding, which looks okay on both systems.

Okay, removed the old "Courier New" reference and both are rendered the same now.

The flavicon is still the old one and appears in search engine results.

For some reason, favicons are cached aggressively. It has been updated, but it's hard to get the browsers pick it up.

I thought it might be a caching issue. I don't know about the search engines though. Can you inform them of the update? I opened the page in a different browser and it shows the new favicon, but in the search results it's still the old icon.

Mixing fonts is hard. Both fonts must have the same size, but also the same x-height [0], which is the height of lowercase letters like x. This can be seen very clearly with inline code like "contain a <code>dub.json</code>" at the page you linked to. Zoom in (Ctrl+) and you see the height difference between "a" and "u".

On websites where fonts are picked from whatever is available on the system, this is nearly impossible to get right. You either live with it or embed your own fonts via CSS, which bloats the page.

I'd hope that that would be part of the usual refresh cycle. At least I've never seen an option related to this.

Hi,

Is the Dub API published anywhere. I propose to write a dmd/ldc/gdc subtool so that dependency management based on the Dub repository is provided for SCons D builds.

Is there an ordering to the entries on the page?

Apologies if the ordering algorithm is obvious, I am having a relative brain-dead day today.

You can click the column headers at the top. The default ordering is by latest update (latest tagged version).

Online docs are still on the TODO list, but you can do

    dub fetch dub
    dub run dub -b ddox

And it will start up a local HTTP server on http://127.0.0.1:8080/ with the API documentation.
