A lot of things changed internally - there is the interface to the new MonoDevelop 2.9.5 libraries now which brings a couple of internal refactorings which hopefully will result in general performance improvements.

Currently the new version is available in the http://mono-d.alexanderbothe.com addin repository only, NOT in MonoDevelop's beta channel - so it's recommended to switch the repositoy temporarily, or even stick to the external one - the online addin build system causes a couple of problems that need to become handled.

- [Completion] Fixed null-check
- [Resolver] Built in new method to cache UFCS parameter results; Refactored   further internal parser wrappers
- [Completion] Fixed parameter insight
- [General] Updated to MonoDevelop 2.9.5 dll's
- [Parser] dmd 2.059 compatibility
- [Parser] Made directory parsing multi-threaded
- [Building] Added 'relativeTargetDirectory' to One-Step-Build macros

v0.3.6:

- [General] Overhaul for MonoDevelop 2.9.4 compatibility
- [Building] Changed gdc default one-step build string
- [Syntax Highlighting] changed color of 'mixin' keyword
- [Resolver] Added rough ufcs completion.. which must be enabled manually in the  settings
- [Refactoring] Fixed a small renaming annoyance

Nice!
Keep up the good work.

Great!

What is this? Is it this:

  void foo(int x) if (x > 5) { ... }

  ...

  3.foo(); // underlined as error?
  6.foo(); // looks good

?? Or not something that cool? because that would be pretty cool :)

Yepp definitely - but this requires a couple of lower-leveled features (primarily expression evaluation, declaration constraint checking and furthermore semantic highlighting) - these features will be implemented during GSoC ;)

Oh uhm, the feature you mentioned is not implemented yet - it's just a kind of optimization e.g. when you type 1234. you get all available free methods listed - and this happens kinda quick now, or at least more quicker than before :)

you should probably mention somewhere explicitly that this works *only* with the _alpha_ and not with the _stable_ release of monodevelop atm.

Okay, I see.

Good luck with GSoC! MonoD + Android could equal a big boost in popularity for D, so I'm glad to hear your GSoC submission is coming along.

This is just a temporary issue since 1) linux users are advised by default to take the latest beta/alpha version and 2) MD will be released on version 2.9 soon, probably in a couple of weeks or so.
I know that it's currently a kind of mess with the new dependency library versions and stuff, but it wasn't me who decided to  clean up internals and release higher, backward-incompatible versions (of MonoDevelop ;D)

wasn't trying to pin that on someone. i just think a _small hint_ would prevent people from downloading the wrong release and turn away in frustration because your installation instructions don't work in this case.

Alex, a big THANKS for Mono-D! It is a great plugin for MonoDevelop, and is IMHO the best environment for D development nowadays.
