So what is missing so we can call it 1.0?
(excluding obvious bugs)

dmd:
- interfaces
- clean compiler messages
- compiler don't give up on first error
- array literal expressions
---------
phobos:
- at least the linux version has to catchup to windows!
- severe bugs (like std.zip and std.date)

obviously the OO guys can't live without
the full implementation of the interfaces
as Kris referred and Burton has noticed before.

for now I can't remember anything else but
my projects are filled with work arround solutions
for old problems.

If you've got workarounds for std.zip and std.date, can you take a look at the sources to them and suggest a fix?

I hate this too: why doesn't the compiler keep checking for errors? You've made a C/C++ compiler that works fine in this area, so why can't the D compiler?

YES! Also, the linux front-end needs to be updated too: last I checked, it was still at version 0.77

I don't.
maybe I'll take a look at it anyway...
I can't imagine the problem with std.date being complex...

(but, I have many ideas and so little time...)

I'd appreciate it!

The linux front end is at the same version as the windows one.

I'm happy to say that I send the corrections to both problems to Walter.

Object.print, and it's use of printf  :-)

I personally hate "%.*s" "%d" in the first arg of printing something out. Yet I am more comfortable with C++'s iostream or python's approach.

That should be in a separate "language" section.

- Array arithmetic operations

Silly holes in phobos:

- std.file - copy function
- std.date - functions to get/set/construct by components (year, month, day, hour, minute, second....)
- probably others....
- a decent I/O system (what are your thoughts on this Walter?)

Some waking up of the status column on http://www.wikiservice.at/wiki4d/wiki.cgi?FeatureRequestList....

I'll probably set up a "Pending peeves" section on Wiki4D soon, maybe on my personal page for now since they're the things I personally feel need dealing with.  Maybe some official "to do for 1.0" list should be set up at some point....
