Quick question, the answers to which will help determine strategy and policy. Those people using Emacs and D Mode, are you using a downloaded copy of a release tarball/zip or are you working with a clone of the mainline Git repository https://github.com/Emacs-D-Mode-Maintainers/Emacs-D-Mode If the former then the maintainers need to set up an efficient release and distribution mechanism, if the latter then we can assume a continuous deployment and not worry about releases. Please feel free to email me directly offlist. Thanks. --=20 Russel. =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:russel.winder ekiga.n= et 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: russel winder.org.uk London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder

But a release does not need to be anything more then just a Git tag with an increasing number. (I also very much like gpg signed Git tags but that's another story...) Best regards, Thomas Koch

The one concern I have here is how inclusion in official GCC will interact with the still-quite-fast-moving updates of the frontend, druntime and Phobos.

Hi Russel, while we're at it: Is there a roadmap for the D Mode? Will the mode someday be as powerful as a Java IDE? What would we need for that? Would CEDET help? So the feature requests in detail: - completion - jump to declaration - refactoring - error check while writing - run from emacs - run unittests from emacs Some of them might be dreams... Best regards, Thomas Koch

I am not an "Emacs is my IDE" person, I am an "Emacs is my editor" type person. My IDE is Emacs/Bash/Debian or Eclipse, IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm. I haven't been looking at CEDET but if it can be integrated so people who are "Emacs is my IDE" type people can use it then no problem.So the feature requests in detail: =20 - completion - jump to declaration - refactoring - error check while writing - run from emacs - run unittests from emacs =20 Some of them might be dreams...I have started using AutoComplete (I get the Git repositories from GitHub rather than use the download at http://cx4a.org/software/auto-complete/#Latest_Stable but can't decide if it is useful or annoying. Running from Emacs ought to be possible, perhaps with a D menu? Refactoring is probably a dream.. --=20 Russel. =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:russel.winder ekiga.n= et 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: russel winder.org.uk London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
