I think it would be better if the program downloaded dmd directly from the website.  That way you wouldn't need to keep updating it all the time.

Well Charles is already doing that with DIDE (although he probably asked for permission).  I'm sure Walter would be more then happy to allow the files to be used in such a way.

I use notepad for coding Java.

Good suggestion!

That's why I suggested giving the user an opportunity to choose an editor during the installation process.  What did you think I said/meant?

Because you like Notepad for some reason?  Because you can't be bothered to get yourself a better editor?  Or because you haven't made up your mind which one to try out?

As an alternative version.  Having DMD bundled is handy for people whose Internet connection and D programming environment are in separate places.

That it is.  I'm just afraid that it would be wouldn't be maintained, although I'd still recommend both versions.

Another advantage of the download version is that you could use it as an automatic updater.

A further idea would be a way to automatically compile and run a user-defined set of unit tests on updating.  This would help to see which bugs are still there.

OK, so the change log lists fixes, but sometimes it's nice to actually see it working for a change and/or check that a purported fix is 'finished'.  Not to mention check for regressions, if they're ever likely to happen....
