Long overdue but finally here, the release of GtkD 1.4.

GtkD is a D binding and OO wrapper of Gtk+ and is released on the LGPL
license.

New in this Release:
* wraps GTK+ 2.20.x series api (and relative libraries: glib, cairo, pango, etc.)
* 64 bits support

GtkD 1.4 is now available, get it from dsource:
http://www.dsource.org/projects/gtkd/

This is terrific! Could you or a fellow participant please announce it on reddit.com as well?

Thanks,

How is coding with GtkD like? Does it need any special treatment, like having to use RAII and taking care of resources by hand? IIRC Gtk is a C library and GtkD is a class-based wrapper around it?

Anyhow that's great news!

This reminds me, didn't we also want to add GUI projects as a GSoC idea?

Excellent work!  I'm confirming that the new GtkD works with Plot2kill on both Windows and 64-bit Linux.  BTW, I found out that there were two separate segfault bugs on saving SVG images.  One (I guess) was a GtkD bug and is fixed now.  One was presumably a compiler bug (which I need to reduce) because it went away when I rearranged the code a little.

Is there anything bigger/more mature than Plot2kill that uses GtkD yet?

The Garbage Collector should take care of the resources, altough there is still room for improvement.
