Around the release of 2.068 I saw a couple of threads about 
Objective C compatibility in D, but it wasn't merged into stable 
for 2.068. Is this going to be merged into 2.069? Any 
improvements from the very basic support that was shown? Is there 
any documentation?

Also, before DDMD, people were talking how D needed better C++ 
compatibility for it to work, but I can't find much documentation 
on any improvements either, as the documentation for C++ 
interface on the website hasn't been changed since March. Is this 
better compatibility going to be in 2.069?

I think it's already merged into stable

 Any improvements from the very basic support that was shown?

Unfortunately no.

 Is there any documentation?

There's an open pull request for that [1]. You can either read that or 
the tests in the compiler [2].

See some comments by author of magicport here and there.  For C++ 
much more already works than dlang.org suggests.  Thaut's 
comments here are useful:

It's worth just writing simple a C++ program and trying so that 
you get a feel for it before trying to hook up an entire library.
