Hi there folks,

Back when Gregor was dragging his feet getting DSSS 0.76 out the door, I build my own release of it because some bug in 0.75 was causing me troubles.

As I recall, Gregor subsequently never actually release a 0.76 but jumped straight to 0.77.  But 0.77 has some kind of change that makes it run slower than molasses running down a frozen sloth's back.   So I never switched to that version.  For D1 at least, I still find the 0.76 "pre-release" version that I built to be the most usable.

I only built it for Windows, but for those using Windows and having DSSS troubles, you might want to give this a try.

The download is at

I really hope someone emerges to take over DSSS before too long here. I didn't think it was going to take so long. :-(

It's interesting that I did some fixes to the dsss trunk, for rebuild, I did fixes including the nprocs for HT(hyperthreading) cpu number detection misdetect, always one at a time regardless your configuration, not doing pragma parsing(pragma(nolink, blah) not working). In addition, I added dmd header generation compilation acceleration support(not fully optimal yet) for the dsss compilation process.

I will put it somewhere later.

If you have any bugfixes/patches/requests for DSSS, create a ticket for it and I'll review those. I do have commit rights, but I can't find the time to maintain DSSS fully right now, either. :(
