Some things of note:

1) This includes a new code coverage analyzer for dmd (I think gcov should work for gdc users). I've been wanting to add this for 20 years, I finally realized it was a piece of cake. Took me 3 hours to write, 3 hours to tweak. I shoulda done it a long time ago. I can't believe some third party tools to do this cost $800+.

2) The submissions for bug reports on complex numbers has risen a lot lately, and I never get them for the C compiler. This means that nobody uses complex numbers in C, but they do in D. Interesting!

3) This incorporates a new 'header' generator capability, written by Dave Fladebo. I goofed it up merging it in, so it is disabled at the moment (just the source for it is included). I hope to get it working by the next update.

Sounds very cool!  Any kind of code analyzation tools are welcome, especially for those of us trying to make high-performance programs.

My hopes were built up, only to be shattered into a million pieces, all within two seconds ;)  Hopefully that'll be out soon.

LOL ... yep more to be excited about, I guess.

When I type 'dmd' on linux with no options it gives me the help menu and then it displays the following...

Heh, I just realized I typed "analyzation."  Where the heck did that come from?

_analysis_.

From the 'Official Geekdom Dictionary'

analyzation (n): The act of analyzing anything past the point of diminishing returns. A natural behaviour.

Criminy, I put the wrong executable up. It's fixed now.

Thanks. Also, you're still using 'printf' with '\n' for the sieve example? ;)

The code coverage analysis is a neat little tool and is very much appreciated. : )

And, of course, Walter was sly enough not to mention the new ".mangleof" property.  I'm curious to see what wanders it is capable of!! :-)
