&gt; &gt; Hi,<br/>

&gt; &gt; D2 has been out for a while. Looking to see what the roadmap is<br/>
&gt; &gt; like towards D3?<br/>
&gt; &gt;<br/>
&gt; &gt; Suminda<br/>

&gt; No, it has not been out for a while. I would even say that it&#39;s<br/>
&gt; not out yet!<br/>
&gt; It still doesn&#39;t exist yet in the same way as D1.<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt; D1 was a clearly defined snapshot of the language at a particular<br/>
&gt; moment in time.<br/>
&gt; The feature list is unchanged since D1.014, except for array<br/>
&gt; operations which were finally implemented in D1.034. It reached<br/>
&gt; release 1.076 just with bugfixes, ie there were 61 bugfix<br/>
&gt; releases.<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt; D2 is the ongoing language development, and we still don&#39;t have a<br/>
&gt; stability branch more recent than the D1 branch. Almost every<br/>
&gt; release has contained a new feature, and I can&#39;t see that<br/>
&gt; stopping anytime soon.<br/>
<br/>
Not to mention, there probably aren&#39;t even all that many places that
we&#39;d<br/>
change the language in a non-backwards compatible way even if we could
start<br/>
from scratch (and even in those places, we might not change them in D3,<br/>
because it would make porting from D2 to D3 much riskier). By no means is
D2<br/>
perfect, but for the most part, I think that we can either fix the problems<br/>
with it without resorting to D3, or we&#39;d end up having similar problems in
D3<br/>
anyway.<br/>
<br/>
Regardless, we need to make D2 a success before we even consider
considering<br/>
creating something like D3. And there may never be a D3. That&#39;s a question
that</div>

<div>really shouldn&#39;t be up for discussion for years yet.</div>

Hah, I wondered why these snarky replies quoting nothing were showing up. I saw the text from Jonathan, so I was confused :) It would be cool if the web forum software replied with a "that doesn't work for me" email, but of course, we no longer have actual email addresses in the posts with this "via Digitalmars-d" stuff :D I can imagine many people use mail clients that by default use text/html. -Steve

My mail client only uses text/plain. T -- Not all rumours are as misleading as this one.

So I figure you didn't read the text/html part with the nice 1.5x line height which makes reading easy on the eyes? No? :) -- Marco

Yeah, sorry about that. The web interface that I'm forced to use for e-mail when I'm at work just got changed, and it screwed with my settings - and clearly in a very nasty way. It should be fixed now though. - Jonathan M Davis

Perhaps it is fixed, but on the web forum still there's nothing to be seen. What was it about? Something serious or some joke/semiserious stuff?

What was what? The post I posted to this thread that got munged? I could repost it, though there are several posts like that across the newsgroup, because I posted several times before I realized what's going on. - Jonathan M Davis
