I'm currently porting my entire toolchain over to d for day to day. I can find references to dtl here and there without a download link, tango also mentions implementing some of the things I presume to be included within the dtl implementation.

Is it the case that dtl has been folded into tango?

Is there a new date on when tango going to be released (even in a beta/alpha state?)

I just don't want to retool already implemented facilities if I can help it, cheers.

AFAIK, Tango 0.95beta is still expected to be released at the end of the month. DTL was based on an ancient version of D. There has not been a deliberate attempt to put its functionality in Tango, but Tango probably has most of it -- container classes and algorithms are included, for example.

For what it's worth, Matthew has expressed interest to me in eventually reviving DTL, but he is currently busy with other projects.  I do think the design in DTL is quite promising, but it needs a good bit of work to be production quality (and probably just to work with D 1.0).  If or when this happens, I'll encourage Matthew to make DTL compatible with Tango.  But as Don has said, Tango has containers and algorithms already, so it shouldn't be a concern :-)
