digitalmars.D.announce - DMD Snapshot 0.3.0

If I may be so bold as to publicize my quirky work here...

I just created the next version of my compiler and library collection snapshot.
 Version 0.3.0 changes nothing, except it has the Digital Mars D compiler
version 1.027.  I have recompiled all the libraries using it.

You may download it here: http://www.fsdev.net/node/18

I made a great number of site tweaks.  I basically stripped out every module
from Drupal that I don't use, as well as a few that I do.  It should let you
download without obstruction now.

I tried to reflect all of your suggestions in this release to make it the best
possible.  As usual, I'm open to any suggestions you may have.

In the spirit of helping those new to D get going, I tested the installation
process (using version 0.2.1) on a friend of mine who isn't a programmer.  He
got hung up on the Path thing.  So I wrote http://www.fsdev.net/node/16 which
should help newbies a great deal.  I plan to write a node which will document
how to build software with DSSS, and how to install additional libraries from
the Internet using DSSS.

Happy coding!

The link to node 16 from node 18 is broken. Is there some reason you have to use such nondescript names for your web pages? Is that a drupal thing? --bb

Gahh! Good catch! It's fixed now.
 Is there some reason you have to use such nondescript names for your web 
 pages?  Is that a drupal thing?
Yes it is. I could enable a module to change that, however, that would incur more memory use and would increase the number of errors and disconnects. Until I can get the memory use changed I have to play it careful. The alternative is that I have to write the whole site by hand. I'm not good with PHP, and I'm even worse at HTML and I really really stink at CSS. It's just safer if I stay away from those. I'm good at languages like D and Java though, so I'm not all bad.

I use Drupal all the time. The path module, which allows the renaming of paths, is part of Drupal core and I've never heard the above concerns. Nor is there anything in the issue database. Where did you get this information?

By manually measuring the memory usage of the PHP.CGI process and by extensive expermimentation with caching. I finally discovered through a combination of threads in the Drupal forums and a few sentences on the DreamHost Support wiki that it's related to memory usage. I'm considering enabling the path module, though for links I would think it better to use the node id, since those are more permenent. I'll have to go look and see. If it spikes up the memory usage I'll have to take it off though. It's a nasty balancing act, I assure you.

Well I've never had an issue with multi-site configurations on heavily shared hosts and it doesn't seem to be an issue with the many large sites using clean urls with the path module on presumably dedicated servers. Your site is quite small so I don't think it will be a problem worth worrying about. But anyway, this is way off topic, so I'll drop it.

OMG! TortoiseHg! I didn't know it existed, but I was hoping somebody would 
start something like that! Thanks for the heads up ;)

You should probably mention on the page that your "snapshot" is Windows-only. Though it could also help us Linux users make Windows executables through wine. - Brix
