one other thing: i am heavily using derelict so pretty much every function i use is a function pointer variable. is it possible to show a parameter list even for them ?

example:
typedef int function(int,int,double) pfBlaaaa;
pfBlaaaa* Blaa;
Blaa(...

The way Descent works is that it has a (fairly complete) port of the DMD front-end. Since the DMD front-end is fairly large already, maintaining two versions is a LOT of work. So 2.x support will be there, but we're focusing mostly on getting the framework for a lot of cool features, into which we can insert 2.x semantic analysis. In other words, it'll be there, but just not right away.

I'm going to work on some docs soon, and AFAIK Ary is doing some videos. As usual with any project as ambitious as Descent, there's huge amounts of work to be done & with only two people it doesn't get done very fast.

How do you mean? You should be able to see the type/parameter types by hovering over the variable name. I can check some of the other places where functions are used (autocomplete on call exp, etc.) to hopefully make function pointers and functions virtually interchangeable.

Probably because of the bug I mentioned. After I fix some reported bugs and receive improvements suggestions, I'll make another release. :-)

I've just added a list of useful shortcuts, hovers and autocompletion locations: http://www.dsource.org/projects/descent/wiki/Shortcuts

If anyone else knows other useful shortcuts, please tell me (or tell me how I can make that wiki page editable by anyone).

Sure! It never crossed my mind, but it's pretty easy to implement. Please fill an enhancement report: http://www.dsource.org/projects/descent/newticket :-)

And also what Robert said it's true: even with the bug fixed, you won't see much difference, because we are mainly focusing on D1.x, which is stable.

You'll need to do this since I've changed the format of the indexes for searching stuff. Otherwise you'll get errors, or some things won't work.

I've used Included: (All) for my projects, but when trying to compile I get a message that my source files is not included in the project when I try to rebuild. Is this some bug in Descent, or is this expected behaviour?

done{#36}. and another enhancement came to my mind which i filed a ticket for since no membe list of pointer to struct variables is shown{#37}.

great i found out using some more features now!

a question: Is there a way to get a list of possible debug-versions or version-flags in general ? so i dont have to type a "version(" somewhere in the code to use the auto completion so it shows me the defined/available versions ?

Where do you want to use it?

If it's just seeing the available ones, they are in Windows -> Preferences, D -> Compiler. The suggestions come from there, and from the version/debug identifiers defined in the source file being edited.
