Dear D community 

A new version of Tango is now available for download. The release is named 
after Sean Kelly for his past work on the Tango runtime and now druntime. 
The release have several new features, and fairly major changes to tie the 
IO even closer together. To make the transition easier, the previous 
incarnation is still available for this release.
 
This has been a much delayed release compared to the earlier Tango releases, 
but time has been spent fairly well, covering 301 closed tickets and more 
than 600 commits. 

 * Final refinement of the IO 
 * JSON parser/builder 
 * FTP adapter for the VFS by Lester L. Martin II 
 * Serial port support by Robin Kreis 
 * Inter-thread communication by Steven Schveighoffer 
 * /dev/null support by Fawzi Mohamed 
 * Random framework by same Fawzi 
 * BigInt by Don Clugston 
 * Updated for DMD 1.041, including Mac support 
 * Support for LDC 
 * OpenSolaris support by BlueZeniX 
 * New API docs courtesy of Aziz and Moritz 
 * More containers such as HashFile 
 
For a complete list of changes please see the changelog. We welcome all 
feedback and testing. 

We're in the process of updating to new API docs as mentioned above, now 
generated by dil. You can see the docs for 0.99.8 at

Seems to be working fine for me :)

Also, I noticed the warnings I used to get from tango (when compiling 
with -w) are now gone. Normally I wouldn't really care, but due to DMD's 
inability to actually treat warnings as warnings, this finally allows me to 
actually check my my own project for warnings without DMD deciding to 
complain and bail out before it gets to my code. So, I guess that's my 
roundabout way of saying thanks to the Tango crew for doing such a great job 
and taking care of those.

Thanks are largely due to Walter, I think, since he fixed a couple of 
warning-related bugs a few DMD releases ago. I never used to use -w, 
since it created so many nonsense warnings, but now I use it all the 
time and since the bugfixes, I've not seen a single case where it 
generated a spurious warning.
Most of those warnings could be turned into errors now, I reckon.

Some changes to the Mac OS X packages:

- the GDC package now includes 64-bit binaries too
   (that is: ppc, i386, ppc64, x86_64 architectures)

- the DMD binary tarball runs on Mac OS X 10.4 too
   (Phobos could also, if recompiled with 10.4u SDK)

LDC already comes bundled with Tango.

Seems like the server sends the name encoded with utf-8.
But the tango code treats it as ANSI.

That's great.

A few thoughts on the new documentation:

The new dil generated documentation is a little hard to read. There is 
no space after the documentation of an item and the text item. I also 
liked the old font better than the new. Now when the documentation for 
object.di is actually generated we could perhaps get some documentations 
for it.

Other from that I really like the new documentation.

The CSS and DDoc macro's are in SVN, I think most of what you mention can be 
fixed via that so feel free to suggest patches. A note on fonts; I think 
none are currently specified meaning that what you see are the browswer 
defaults.

The only font I have a problem with is the one used for the function 
signature. It looks like some sort of typewriter font and definitely isn't 
my browser's default. (Although I suppose it might be my default monospace

the HTML/CSS right now, I think that is the case.)

Except for the font in the list box on the left side, which is a bit

Also Windows/Firefox here (FF2 - yes, deliberately not FF3...don't get me 
started...), and I agree with your opinion on that link you provided. But 
with the additional issue that the nav box on the left doesn't show up when 
I have JS turned off...that's not a good thing.

I've been annoyed with this in the past. These days, I let websites 
choose serif, sans serif, or monospace; but only I choose which fonts 
those map to. If your website asks for Helvetica or Arial, it's getting 
Cronos. If it asks for Times, it gets Chaparral. And so forth.

In Firefox, under the Content tab of the preferences window, look at the 
Fonts & Colors group and press Advanced. There is a checkbox that 
controls whether websites' preferences for fonts will be honored.

(Also Jacob commented on the docs.)

I'll give some critique on the new dil-generated docs as well.

I'm looking at these two links:
http://www.dsource.org/projects/tango/docs/0.99.8/
http://dil.googlecode.com/svn/doc/Tango_0.99.7/tango.text.xml.Document.html

I'm assuming the latter are an older version of dil/kandil?.

I was a bit annoyed by the API/Modules modality in the latter docs.
It'd be nice if the "Modules" list became collapsible and put the API
elements as children of each module.  It seems the newer(?) version of
the docs is collapsible, but has yet to eliminate the modality.  The
newer version is tolerable though since it doesn't just hijack the frame
when I click on a module.  It made me have to navigate back to the
"Modules" mode every time I wanted to go to a different module.  So
yeah, forced modality here is a bad thing.  I'd prefer to just get rid
of the modality entirely and merge it all into one collapsible index.

Also, it seems dil has yet to make types found in the documentation act
as hyperlinks to their definitions or at least module of definition.
This one is big for me.  I'm hoping it's been planned.

Other than that I like the new docs, and I like how progress is being
made on more intelligent generated docs.  That I can at least click on
things and see how they are defined in code is rather useful, especially
given all the trickery D can play with its type system.  Good job!

I think so yes (at least a few patches difference).

Not sure it is feasible to put _all_ public Tango symbols in the same tree, 
JS performance seems to very quickly become a potential issue. In that case 
the modality is a very acceptable workaround IMO. Feel free to work with 
Aziz on it though. Or create ticket(s).

Not sure what you mean here -if you mean that a return type should link to 
the docs of that type, then yes, that is something that we very much want 
but that requires more semantic processing than dil currently has.

Darn.  Well alright.

OK, that's pretty much what I meant.  I hope we eventually get more than
return type though: non-templated function args, class ancestors, etc.
would be nice as well.

 Dear D community 
 
 A new version of Tango is now available for download. The release is named 
 after Sean Kelly for his past work on the Tango runtime and now druntime. 
 The release have several new features, and fairly major changes to tie the 
 IO even closer together. To make the transition easier, the previous 
 incarnation is still available for this release.
  
 This has been a much delayed release compared to the earlier Tango releases, 
 but time has been spent fairly well, covering 301 closed tickets and more 
 than 600 commits. 
 
  * Final refinement of the IO 
  * JSON parser/builder 
  * FTP adapter for the VFS by Lester L. Martin II 
  * Serial port support by Robin Kreis 
  * Inter-thread communication by Steven Schveighoffer 
  * /dev/null support by Fawzi Mohamed 
  * Random framework by same Fawzi 
  * BigInt by Don Clugston 
  * Updated for DMD 1.041, including Mac support 
  * Support for LDC 
  * OpenSolaris support by BlueZeniX 
  * New API docs courtesy of Aziz and Moritz 
  * More containers such as HashFile 
  
 For a complete list of changes please see the changelog. We welcome all 
 feedback and testing. 
 
 We're in the process of updating to new API docs as mentioned above, now 
 generated by dil. You can see the docs for 0.99.8 at 
 http://www.dsource.org/projects/tango/docs/0.99.8 or later download them 
 from via the download pages.
 
 We are always looking for new participants, so feel free to contact us via 
 the page linked below. In particular, we are looking for someone to help 
 drive the online presence via our Trac pages.
