As per the original announcement [1], today would have been the start of the one-week voting period for inclusion of Jonas Drewsen's high-level libcurl wrapper module into Phobos. To recapitulate, the code can be found at GitHub [2], the last commit before the review started being 144f70e from August 16.

However, a number of concerns were raised during the review, ranging from a number of trivial typos to a few bigger issues which require more work. Because it would have been unlikely for the library to pass the inclusion vote in its current state, it was decided to postpone the voting phase to give Jonas enough time to incorporate the suggestions.

Thanks Jonas for your great work and for being willing to push the library though yet another round of refinements, and as usual, thanks for everybody who participated in the review process. I'm positive we will soon be able to add a high-quality Http/Ftp/Smtp interface to the D standard library both comprehensive and idiomatic in nature.

We will now move on to review the next item in the queue, a related announcement will be posted by the review manager in charge shortly. Once Jonas is happy with the state of his work, the etc.curl review will be resumed.

Again, thanks to everybody, these are exciting times for D in terms of community participation and code quality!

David
