I've made some online improvements to "Programming in D" since September 2017.

  http://ddili.org/ders/d.en/index.html

NOTE: The copies of the book at hard copy printers are not updated yet. If you order from Amazon etc. it will still be the OLD version. I need some more time to work on that... Also, only the PDF electronic format is up-to-date; other ebook formats are NOT.

* The code samples are now up-to-date with 2.080.1

* Digit separator (%,) format specifier: http://ddili.org/ders/d.en/formatted_output.html#ix_formatted_output.separator

* Stopwatch is moved to module std.datetime.stopwatch

* Replace 'body' with 'do'

* Text file imports (string imports): http://ddili.org/ders/d.en/mixin.html#ix_mixin.file%20import

* First assignment to a member is construction (search for that text on the page): http://ddili.org/ders/d.en/special_functions.html#ix_special_functions.this,%20constructor

* static foreach: http://ddili.org/ders/d.en/static_foreach.html#ix_static_foreach.static%20foreach

Great work on the book and keeping it up to date!

This is really great that you keep this important source of information on D and on programming-in-general up-to-date. Good luck with the further adaptations/changes as the D language evolves!

I will have time soon to do that and this time I *think* the index section will be correct. :)

I meant Table of Contents will exist. :)

Hi Ali,

Thanks for your book - it is the definitive go-to resource for D newcomers as well as "refresher" reference for part time D programmers like myself.

The fact that you keep it up to date (if even only the e-copy release), is also a huge plus for us.

But, if I can maybe ask/recommend - is it possible to add a RevisionHistory on your ddili.org site?

In fact, your announcement details in this announcement would be perfect as the content for this release. So, since you write these announcements anyway, hopefully not a lot of work... ;-)

Also, I don't think anyone would expect you do this for every revision since the 1st one, even from the current Revision onward, but updated for every new revision in the future, would already be great.

The reason I am asking is that it is sometimes difficult to know if you have updated some part/section/chapter of your book with some recent changes to the language/runtime/Phobos.

I think this will be super useful since it is used by myself and others as a kind of "Quick-Reference" book to D now. This is not as critical for most of the other books (Adam's Cookbook, Kai's Web Dev book, etc), since they don't attempt to cover the language in full and hence do not have the same "reference" aspect your book does. I know Andrei's TDPL book is supposed to be the definitive reference (and I do have a copy), but it is now quite out-of-date!

But, most of all, thanks for a super-useful book!

Ok, I should be able to do that by browsing the book's repo history even for past revisions:

  https://bitbucket.org/acehreli/ddili/commits/all

> as a kind of "Quick-Reference" book to D now

I'm not sure whether it's known by others but I find the online index section very useful (yes, I use that site as well ;) ):

  http://ddili.org/ders/d.en/ix.html

(The entry for %, is currently missing because there's a bug with adding it with a ddoc macro as $(IX %,), which is understandable but I did not debug it yet.)

Thank you! :)
