The thrill is gonne!
No, not the thrill for D, the thrill for the next release of DMD.

We (I) no longer wait for the next release of DMD.
I don't expect amasing new features,
or even the fixes I've been waiting for months
(for which I couldn't produce code examples).
This is to be expected as DMD is reaching 1.0.
Can it be the reason the trafic is slower here?
I bet it is. There is nothing new to see here.
I see this as a good sign. It means DMD is getting there!

Now if I was responsable for D and DMD I would release it without: (each one insert your own - I'm working on leds)

I'm going to download DMD 0.107 now just to help
finding problems, not because I expect any improvement,
I'm actually afraid things might break...

Thanks for D, Walter.

I got this message from the compiler (which I can ignore obviously)

"Creating default this(){} for class NB"

NB is a nested class.

---------
also found (thanks to 107):
- duplicated char[] switchcase
- passing -1 to uint param
- using inExpression as bit

all my projects seem to run correctly with 107.
(15 min tests...)

for DUI users: all the erros found were in leds,
so no problems with the released DUI and dool.

For lazy people with Newsreaders:

New/Changed Features
- Improved speed of writef().
- Improved single thread performance of gc allocation per davejf's suggestions.
- InExpressions now, instead of returning a bit, return a pointer to the associative array element if the key is present, null if it is not. This obviates - the need for many double lookups.
- .offset property is now deprecated, use .offsetof instead. This makes for better compatibility with C and fewer conflicts with offset as a field name.
- Added .ptr property to arrays, which is handier and more typesafe than casting an array to a pointer.
- Added Ben Hinkle's changes to std.stream:
  adds EndianStream for BOM and endian support.
  removes the two public imports std.string and std.file from end of file
  adds read/write for ifloat, idouble, cfloat, cdouble and dchar to interfaces InputStream and OutputStream and add implementations to Stream and EndianStream
- Added std.c.stddef for definition of C wchar_t.

Bugs Fixed
- Fixed internal error e2ir 814
- Fixed protection of implicit constructor.
- Fixed deprecated attribute overriding static.
- Tightened up detection of constants being implicitly converted to a type that cannot hold it.
- Now detects duplicate case strings in switch statements.
- Added support for switch(dchar[]) statements.
- Fixed bug reading source files without B.O.M.
- Fixed initialization of anonymous structs in classes.
- Anonymous structs/unions can now only be a member of an aggregate.
- Assert expressions are no longer evaluated for side effects even if asserts are turned off. It is not legal to depend on the side effect of an assert.
- Fixed _init vs __init prefix for TypeInfo classes.
- Adjusted arithmetic conversion rules to match C99.

Maybe I should just call it 1.0 and ship it!

Please don't do that yet; I just sent you a problem with dmd-107. It breaks all the ICU bindings ...

I've heard complaints of this before: compilation taking upwards of 2 minutes under certain circumstances.  I just ran into this problem myself with 0.107 under Linux.  I have no idea what could be causing this, but I am willing to share my code if someone wants to check it out.  The program is perfect syntax and semantics, nothing wrong with it; it just won't compile!  It worked fine (read compiled blazingly fast) before I made a few changes and I've been trying to figure out what those changes were that did it in.

James Dunne

For lazy people who like to c&p C declarations without having to change them?

I think Walter was joking.  For those who haven't seen it already, we have a list of reasons we're far from ready for 1.0:
