Huh, what's this about? DMD does not seem to recognize it, but it's listed in the grammar. Is it an upcoming feature or is the grammar out of date?

When the other use of alias has been changed from

  alias int NewName;  // weird syntax

to

  alias NewName = int;  // welcome syntax

'alias this' has also been inadvertently changed from

  alias memberFunc this;    // still valid syntax

to

  alias this = memberFunc;  // buggy syntax

It has been a recent bug which has quickly been reverted. Here is a past discussion:

I just left them at their default, i.e. UFCS is enabled, but mixin-support is disabled. Any problem with enabling the latter?

The other options seem unused sofar when grepping for them, maybe they are used by Mono-D, but not DParser (the version used by the installer doesn't have the HideDeprecatedNodes option).

I'm lagging behind on documentation anyway, so if I find the time, I'll try to do it as an article.

mixin support might be good (but well, it's still and probably will ever be basic) -- there are problems with having too many mixins in one module, that's why I left it opt-in only. Anyway the option might be nice to have somewhere :)

Is the wiki readonly?
http://wiki.dlang.org/IDEs

I've tried to update the "Last known activity" date, but I couldn't find the Edit button.

You need to be logged in. The Edit tab will then appear in place of the View Source one.

Ah I see. I was about to ask why was it put in the grammar documentation then, but it seems it is no longer there for the online version of the documentation:
http://dlang.org/declaration.html#AliasThisDeclaration

It is still present in the documentaton of the 2.062 DMD download though, hence my confusion. :S
(I was looking at the download doc)

Probably a bit late, but here is a short article about the new version with some bias towards "Unittesting and code coverage analysis with Visual D": http://www.dsource.org/projects/visuald/wiki/News36

I missed that, it's a good remainder, thank you.

It certainly help a lot the community.
