I went to all the trouble to start this list.  And I'm quite sure I'm not the only one waiting for the items on it (some getting rather old now) to finally be dealt with.

As you see, they roughly fall into three categories:
- fixes that need to be coded up
- fixes that have already been written, and just need hooking up
- places where it's merely the documentation that needs finishing

Walter, could we please at least have a clue of where these are in your queue?

Also hate to be picky but

string.d:1488
--

char[] toString(char c)
{
char[] result = new char[2];
result[0] = c;
result[1] = 0;
return result[0 .. 1];
}

Why all those extra operations ?  When it justs need 1 char assignment ?

I agree! It should be:

-----------------------
char[] toString(char c)
{
        char[] result = new char[1];
        result[0] = c;
        return result;
}
-----------------------

All that putting in trailing 0s automatically should be avoided. If you need to interface C-code, you should do the conversion explicitely. Of course that is less efficient, but why should the native string handling code suffer for that? The native-string library should not care about trailing 0s at all!

There are hundreds of items in the bug list, I try to give priority to crashers. Anyhow, I've stopped adding new features, and have just been working the bug list.

That would be nice!

but i see it like this:
We are very lucky that Walter decided to offer D to the world.
Unfortunatly the over centralized development model might not
seem the best to all of us but that's how Walter prefers to do it.

So please join me in saying:
Walter thank you for D,
and please take a few weeks vacations I'm here for a year and never saw
you miss a single day. That can't be good. We can wait.

:)

Hear Hear!

He has been sweating over this for years, and I think a vacation is well deserved :).  We can wait.

I don't think it's said enough around here: Thank you for all your hard work.

D is a wonderful language and has truely changed how I approach solving problems with software.

Or just:

    char[] toString(char c) { return (&c)[0..1].dup; }
