A first alpha of the Coedit 2, the small D IDE, is available.

Summary:
--------

This alpha is focused on the integration of the official build tool DUB.
In fact it's almost fully supported since it's possible to
- create a new DUB project from scratch.
- open an existing project to modify it.
- compile, run, choose the configuration and the build type.
but only the JSON format is handled.

Additionally some other features have been added, notably:
- the symbol list has an option to expand smartly on the declaration matching to what's being edited.
- demangle the messages redirected from DUB or DMD.
- a runnable module can use the first script line to define some additional DMD options.
- a native project format configuration can be defined as 'base' or 'overridden'.
- and more...read the changelog for more details.

Hi, this link https://github.com/BBasile/Coedit/ doesn't work for me ((

Coedit is now (since three weeks to be more accurate) a private software.
I've removed all what was deletable but obviously all the previous announces on the NG are going to remain.

Any particular reason?

Yes, I don't care anymore.

The fact is that I always knew that I was losing my time but this was acceptable until a certain point.

Anyway, you know, when you like no longer, negative critics take over. So, to continue would have been quite unhealthy.

I have tried Coedit and liked it. I'm sorry you felt like you were wasting time.

When I looked at it, I thought it was promising. You normally hear only from the critics.

Why not just leave it up for someone else to take over in a fork?

"well, I feel really stupid right now..."

No. Seriously, to delete everything is a bit immature. Maybe I'll resurect Coedit with a new branding in a few monthes but for now I'm still a bit angry with D and the D people...

I'm sorry you feel that way. Let me tell you the positive influence CoEdit had on me.

I'm a newbie to D, who was looking for an IDE on Mac. I found CoEdit on github and realised it does not compile on Mac OSX, and posted an issue and followed up a couple of small PRs. (username: btbytes)

This was good for me in two respects:

1. I had never programmed in Pascal before and CoEdit gave me an opportunity.
2. I felt i had made positive contribution to people using D on Mac.

I hope that you will be back on github with CoEdit.
