Hi everyone,

I just want to announce the first alpha release of Mono-D.

FYI, Mono-D is a MonoDevelop AddIn which provides code completion/refactoring features and project management for D.

So, you'll be able to enjoy comfort-features also on non-windows systems!

Just check out http://mono-d.sourceforge.net

Please feel free to leave comments/critics etc. on that blog!

Hi,

Some questions:

1) Where do I find the refactoring/completion features? Do I need to enable/configure them somewhere?
2) Will you add per-project compiler parameter configuration? This is very necessary, as some projects rely strongly on certain parameters.
3) Is using this on Windows supported (or does it just happen to work?)?

In any case, good work so far!

1) Code completion can be enabled via adding phobos library paths etc. to the compiler configuration(s). There's a tutorial how to do this in the 'Getting Started' section of the project site.

2) You can add per-project (both linker and compiler) parameters. Extra include
paths and library references, of course.

3) Yes.

You've mentioned you made a fix for the project settings bug, but did you upgrade the plugin? In the updates section it says no updates are available.

I've used MonoD for a while before and it looks like a very nice IDE. :)

That did the trick, thanks!

Oh wow, completely missed the relevant section in project options. Oops!

Great!

Hm, it doesn't seem like the add-in uses smart indentation. For example:

void main()
{<hit enter>

doesn't indent as it normally would in e.g. the C# add-in. Is this a bug or just not supported yet?

- Alex

Sorry, but it's not implemented yet.

Good work.

Tested on Ubuntu 64bit with Monodevelop 2.8 compiled from source.
Works fine and it's very responsive (code completion is too responsive!)

Bug: syntax highlight for  "test" works but not for `test`
