Dear D community

The most recent version of Tango is now available for download. Named after Peter Triller for his robust Unicode classification & transformation contribution (toUpper, toLower, toTitle, isX, etc), this release contains several other notable additions and improvements:

 * DMD builds no longer generate libphobos.a/phobos.lib, but instead utilize
the -defaultlib switch. This enables phobos to install side-by-side with
Tango
 * full-featured tango.util.time.ISO8601 from Deewiant
 * tango.text.Unicode, courtesy of Peter Triller
 * new tango.io.stream KISS package, exposing various convenience wrappers
and filters
 * VFS (1) is functional and awaiting Zip support. Are you interested in
writing a webDav or FTP driver?
 * Preserve GC block attributes across reallocations, resolving some issues
with void[] resizing
 * Formatting with Layout now works on X86_64, thanks to David Brown
 * Support for DMD 1.023

Also note that there is an experimental D2.0 branch in our repositories now.

For a complete list of changes please see http://www.dsource.org/projects/tango/wiki/0_99_3_Changelog. We welcome all feedback and testing.

We are always looking for new participants, so feel free to contact us via the page linked below. In particular, we are looking for someone to help drive the online presence via our Trac pages, and for additional VFS adapters.

Tango.Scrapple at DSource is functioning as a place for Tango compatible code, and as a staging ground for future inclusion in Tango.

Grats to Peter; welcome to the "people who've had a Tango release named after them" club.  *raises glass*

Haaaa-le-lu-ja!  I can *finally* get rid of my insane side-by-side setup!  That's pretty much my whole history with D: find some crazy way of doing something, then have it obsoleted... :P

Ok, back to study :'(

Yay! However I'm having trouble with the Windows DSSS net install... I get

----------------

Installing tango core...
tango.core.Exception.IOException: .\tango-win32-dmd.lib :: The system cannot find the file specified

tango

Installing tangocore

Installing tango

---------------

And my tango program fails to build.

Great!

The new IO docs are nice.

Perhaps Gregor can answer this one.  I've checked lib/install-dmd.exe and it works as intended, so this must be something on the DSSS/Rebuild side.

No kidding.  I had to take a look when I read this, and I have to agree.  Well done.

YeeGads I think you've got it!!! That (after about 32 second of scrolling) looks a lot better than I remember the last times I looked.

Ok now I need to come up with another pet peeve.... Um, how do I download the docs? Running Wget on the root, doesn't work to well. My first though is to get a second copy of the wiky running on the same content but with page templates that skip all but the navigation links. wget would cover the rest. I'm interested in this because most of my dev time is spent with little or no Internet connection.

Boorad has been messing with some software to convert the Wiki into pdf format ...

Keinfarbton is the one responsible for that. A whole lot better, I'd say
