Hi,

there is a new release of Visual D available at 
http://rainers.github.io/visuald/visuald/StartPage.html

Major new features:

- new linker option "build and use local phobos library" to get a COFF32 
version (dmd 2.067+) or add missing debug info (dmd 2.065+)

- dparser updated with support for new language features in dmd 2.067

- new command "Compile and Disassemble" to show the disassembly of the 
current file in the code context window that is automatically 
synchronized with editor cursor movements. See 
http://rainers.github.io/visuald/visuald/CompileCommands.html

- improvements to the mago debugger engine: set next statement,  show 
symbols and address labels in the disassembly window, list associative 
array members, load PDB symbols from Microsoft Symbol Server or local 
cache folders, support lexical scope blocks and more

See http://rainers.github.io/visuald/visuald/VersionHistory.html for the 
full list of changes.

I missed the lexical scope support. I'll try that out right away. It's
been a long time coming :)

What is meant by "support lexical scope blocks" ?

void foo() {
   {int x;} // ?
}

Similar, it's more about the second 'i' being hidden in:

void main()
{
    for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
       writefln("1 - %d", i);

    for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
       writefln("2 - %d", i);
}

See https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3657.

Unfortunately the respective PR is still not merged: 
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/pull/2867

So, the lexical scope support in mago currently helps only with a 
manually updated dmd, or when stepping into C/C++ code.

Cool.

How is the site under "D / Getting Started / IDE" updated?
Because for Visual-D there the column "last activities" reads 
"April 2014" - while other IDEs were updated a few days ago.

Just because such small details quickly lead to the impression 
that nobody works on the project, which is simply false!
