Got a couple questions about ldc:

- Will there be a 1.0.1 release?  I see it has been branched, but not much done with it.  I've updated my Android beta releases to use it:

https://github.com/joakim-noah/android/releases/tag/ddmd

- It seems like Johan and kinke have been spending a lot of time on ldc lately, and I've seen several mentions of working on stuff for Weka: is that company sponsoring development work on ldc?  If so, that's good news, just wondering what's going on.

There's 1.1.0-beta2. 1.1.0 stable release should come quite soon. You can find it on their repo:

I don't think so, as 1.1 should be almost ready (I hope it'll be based on current master as there have been quite a few bugfixes lately).

Not that I know of. I just wanted to fix a few things for the imminent v1.1 release. If LDC development was sponsored, I'd probably quit my job and work full time on it. ;) But David and Johan seem to have access to Weka's code at least.

I'm in-between jobs and have a lot of time to spend.
And some of my work on LDC is sponsored by Weka. Liran mentioned some of it in his DConf talk.

Now I am looking for any remote job related with D. Is there request from Weka for new developers? Not full time, but any job that can be delegate to other peoples.

FYI: On the organization using D, a couple of them also hire actively D developers, so it might be worth asking these:

Hi Joakim,

I worked on a 1.0.1 release but it is now obsoleted by the 1.1.0 release.
But there will be a 0.17.2 release, too.
