Congratulations to Antti-Ville Tuuainen for passing the GSoC 2012 midterm evaluation!  Despite going through a steep learning curve to learn D's template metaprogramming system, Antti-Ville has precise heap scanning for the garbage collector close to working using the new rtinfo template that has been added to object.d.  His Github repository is at:

https://github.com/Tuna-Fish/druntime

The plans for the second half include creating an alternative implementation of precise scanning that may be more efficient and removing the global lock from malloc() if time permits.

Congratulations Antti-Ville! I can't wait to see this in action!
