Due to some personal events, this release took a lot longer than anticipated, but now it's ready (with a record number of 120 fixes/additions). Major changes and improvements:

- Implemented SSL certificate validation (mostly important for HTTP
  client requests and for the SMTP client) - note that there is
  currently no built-in set of known root certificates, so those have
  to be supplied manually

- New vibe.web.web module for building web interfaces in a similar
  descriptive way as with the REST interface generator

- Various improvements of the Diet compiler, bringing it closer to the
  latest version of Jade

- A number of performance improvements (unfortunately without any hard
  benchmark numbers)

- New FileDescriptorEvent class usable to integrate foreign file
  handles, such as pipes or sockets created by external libraries, into
  the event loop

- Lots of improvements to the Redis client with more to come in the
  next release

- Of course compiles with the latest DMD

Almost forgot that the OpenSSL Windows binaries are shipped together with vibe.d. I've tagged a version with the latest OpenSSL 1.0.1g. Be sure to use this if you plan on setting up an SSL based server on Windows:

Thanks for all your hard work.  This is a great product.

Related: does anyone use dub-segregated vibe.d package in Arch (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/vibed/)? I am thinking about abandoning it as does not seem to serve any practical purpose currently.

Thanks! And of course also thanks to the other (about 20) contributors. Some have been quite active, such as nazriel, who has worked on the Diet template compiler, or Extrawurst and Martin Nowak, who have done a number of bug fixes all over the code base.
