Hi,

Visual D 0.3.33 has just been released. The biggest improvement is the move of the parser and the semantic analysis into a local COM server process, so that the IDE is no longer suffering from stalls caused by garbage collections on more than small amounts of memory.

Some other, not so spectacular changes include

  * debugger project settings now stored in solution options file, not in project file
  * cv2pdb: new version 0.25 that supports VS2012
  * cv2pdb: exposed command line options in the project options
  * intellisense tool tip now shows enumerator value
  * version highlighting now supports the "version(V):" syntax
  * tweaked vsi2d to also convert the Windows 8 SDK and VS2012 SDK
  * various improvements to parser and semantic analysis

The full list of changes is at http://www.dsource.org/projects/visuald/wiki/VersionHistory

Visual D is a Visual Studio package providing both project management and language services for the D programming language. It works with Visual Studio 2005-11 as well as the free Visual Studio Shells.

The Visual D installer can be downloaded from its website at http://www.dsource.org/projects/visuald

The source code is now also available on github: https://github.com/rainers/visuald

Does this work with the VS 2012 RC?

Indeed, I've moved back to Visual once again :)

I run it on the developer preview version, and others have reported success with the VS2012 RC version (though a restart/reboot seemed necessary).
