Hi,

a new version of Visual D is long overdue, so finally it is released. In addition to the usual fixes of bugs and regressions, the major highlights of this version are

- DParser by Alexander Bothe (https://github.com/aBothe/D_Parser, also used by Mono-D) integrated as an alternative semantic engine for better code completion (use "Open Language options" from the Visual D menu to access the enable option)
- added command "Compile and Run" to execute current text buffer or selection via rdmd
- added option "Colorize coverage from .LST file" to highlight lines from code coverage output
- updated to new features of the language and tooling as of dmd 2.062
- basic LDC support and separate option pages for DMD/GDC/LDC directories

The full list of changes can be found here: http://www.dsource.org/projects/visuald/wiki/VersionHistory

Visual D is a Visual Studio package providing both project management and language services for the D programming language. It works with Visual Studio 2005-12 as well as the free Visual Studio Shells.

The Visual D installer can be downloaded from its website at http://www.dsource.org/projects/visuald

Visual D is completely written in D, the source code is available at github (https://github.com/rainers/visuald) and dsource (http://www.dsource.org/projects/visuald/browser/trunk).

The download link doesn't seem to work. The error message and a click
on 'downloads' shows the file is not where it should be.

Ouch, missed to upload it after renaming the previous (broken) version to rc. It is fixed now.

This deserves a much higher profile. Few people know about it.

Can you write a brief article about Visual D? Then we can link to it, and post it on Reddit.

I agree with Walter.
I am not using Visual-D myself (Not Windows user) but questions about IDEs are popping up very frequently both on Reddit, Newsgroup and IRC channel.

Good article could make things more clean in this area.

Notice that "alias this = id" is not supposed to be valid syntax.

Finally :) -- Hopefully I can find some more time to do more pre-compile time analysis implementation of D code ;)

Oh btw, have you implemented the D_Parser.Misc.CompletionOptions? You can toggle mixin pre-evaluation and other tweaks over there
