Nearly all just bug fixes, with a focus on templates.

Remember that long discussion on decoding unicode characters from a UTF-8 array? Well, foreach can do that now!

Nice!
One thing you dropped is the "What's new for 0.78" (see
http://www.digitalmars.com/d/changelog.html#new078)... Not a big deal.

I that the dig + printf + with statement bug has disappeared ;) (can't find my original report, but it's gone so who cares)

Ek, I always botch up something. Fixed.

Good idea, but what do you do if char array contents come from a C function (for example stdin) and are not encoded in UTF-8?

Did I mention that D needs different types for UTF-8 encoded strings and strings in the local code page (=C strings)? ;)

char[] a;    // not in UTF-8
...
foreach (char c; a)
    ...            // will not attempt to decode as UTF-8

foreach (dchar c; a)
    ...        // will attempt to decode as UTF-8

I understand the problem with multibyte strings in the local code page. There are several other encoding schemes, too. D is pretty settled on native support for UTF. Other encodings will have to be treated much as you'd handle it in C or C++. The reason is that code pages are obsolete, and UTF is the future. I understand that Win9x code pages need to be supported for the time being, and it is supported, just not with any special constructs for it.

To do a unique type for code page strings, a typedef or a wrapper class should do the trick. It's not as elegant, but code pages aren't too elegant anyway <g>.

I've been working on a document outlining how to handle these issues, but it's just an outline at the moment.

What do you think of adopting Y.T.s Platform SDK translations ?

Replacing windows.d ?

Apparently, the link has changed (the links on my webpage are outdated, too).

This is the new address:
http://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA028375/d/windows.h.html
