I'm pleased to announce the release of the first stable version of the DUB package manager. Stable in this case means that the API, the command line interface and the package recipe format will only receive fully backwards compatible changes and additions for a while.

This release also adds support for single-file packages, which can be used for conveniently writing small scripts and applications. It supports a shebang line, so that directly executing the script on Posix systems also works (using "chmod +x"):

    #!/usr/bin/env dub
    /+ dub.sdl:
        name "colortest"
        dependency "color" version="~>0.0.3"
    +/

    void main()
    {
        import std.stdio : writefln;
        import std.experimental.color.conv;
        import std.experimental.color.hsx;
        import std.experimental.color.rgb;

        auto yellow = RGB!("rgb", float)(1.0, 1.0, 0.0);
        writefln("Yellow in HSV: %s", yellow.convertColor!(HSV!()));
    }

Instead of a separate file, the contents of the package recipe file go into a specially formatted comment within the source code itself. The comment must be the first token in the D file (apart from the optional shebang line) and must be of the form /+ dub.(json/sdl): ... +/ where "..." is a place holder for the actual recipe contents.

The main (high-level) priority for the upcoming versions will be adding C family language build support (starting with C/C++ and ObjC). There is a draft for how such support might look like, for anyone interested in discussing this in prior: https://github.com/dlang/dub/wiki/DEP5

BTW, we now have almost 800 public packages in the registry, covering more and more application areas. The growth is not exponential, but very steady.

Congratulations on the 1.0.0 release, and thanks for providing this tool to the community.

Congrats! Can't wait to see DUB bundled with DMD.

Great work :)

The DEP explicitly mentions Objective-C as not part of the DEP. But above you're mentioning Objective-C?

It should be just as easy to support Objective-C and Objective-C++ as well from the perspective of the tool. For Objective-C it's basically the C compiler but with .m files and for Objective-C++ it's the C++ compiler but with .mm files.

I mostly just wanted to keep the DEP small and focused, but adding Objective-C/C++ is indeed trivial once C/C++ is there (modulo some small additional features).

Congratulations and thank you from all of us! DUB is amazing!!!

You should add a system to support example files, without dependency. For example in a static library, something that would indicate that the package in which the file resides is itself a dependency but don't have to be downloaded:


package
    examples
        ex1.d
        ex2.d
    source
        package
            src1.d

ex1.d
     /+ dub.sdl:
         name "package"
         dependency "this"  (or dependency "../..")
     +/


from ex1 you should be able to locate the package by using .dirName until a dub.json is found. Maybe that if the dep value is a relative path that leads to a description this works too.

Congrats - this is great stuff!
