I'm glad to announce the first GtkD release that makes use of the new gir based generator.
The generator was rebuild from the ground up since the old one was no longer usable with the new GTK+ documentation.

For a list of changes see the changelog: http://gtkd.org/changelog.html
There is also an list of the breaking changes on the wiki: https://github.com/gtkd-developers/GtkD/wiki/GtkD-2-vs-GtkD-3

I use GtkD so thank you very much for maintaining this project.

Yeah, thank you for maintaining Gtkd. It is by far the best GUI library we  have currently for D.

With the release of GTK+ 3.16 by the end of the month, can we expect another update ? I'm quite excited by the new GtkGLArea[1] widget.

Regards,
Théo.

The GtkGLArea looks promising, and yes you can expect a new GtkD release once 3.16 is out.

I have been using msys2.  The mingw-w64 ports work
well and include an x86 and x86_64 version.

Yes, it will work with GTK+ 3.8, but you can't use any of the features added in later releases.
I don't know a download location for 3.14 for Windows.

thanks for the info. however, i am not familiar with this project. to be honest, it is not quite clear to me what MSYS2 is good for or who would need it. the dox are very slim. so before i dig too deep into what looks like a lot of trouble/work, may i ask you this:

after original & package installation & setup & whatnot, will i end up with a dedicated gtk3 folder somewhere that acts as a (self-sufficient) runtime environment - i.e., will i be able to just zip this folder, distribute it to colleagues, unzip it and set the windows path to include the gtk/bin and then gkt 3.14+ can be used on this computer?

if not, MSYS2 would be of no use to me.

msys provides pacman and gtk3 package to fetch (and build?).

http://sourceforge.net/projects/msys2/

click Files tab you will see Base and REPOS.
click Base and you will see X86_64 and i686.

which version of msys2 do you want/need?
if you need 64bit select x86_64
else
if you need 32bit select i686

There is an installer you can use, I opt to use
the tar.xz file and unpack it in the root dir
to avoid spaces in dir/filenames.

Run the Drive:\{msys32,msys64}\msys2_shell.bat file.
It will initialize some things then you close window
when done.

Run the Drive:\{msys32,msys64}\msys2_shell.bat file
again use pacman package manager to install packages.

type the following pacman command to download gtk3
and its dependencies.

$ pacman -S mingw-w64-i686-gtk3

:: Proceed with installation? [Y/n]

Type Y and pacman will download and install gtk3
in the Drive:\{msys32,msys64}\{mingw32,mingw64}
folder.

Pack the appropriate mingw{32,64} folder and you
have a gtk3 runtime. (this will include c library
and include files, I will leave it to you to
separate the wheat from the chaff).

Alternatively, I just set my path to include
Drive:\{msys32,msys64}\{mingw32,mingw64}\bin,
then use pacman to update my files.
