digitalmars.D.ide - Cannot install D language binding to MonoDevelop

Hi,

I was trying to make Mono-D working according to 
https://wiki.dlang.org/Mono-D#On_Linux. But D language binding 
cannot be installed due to unsatisfied dependencies.

The add-in MonoDevelop.D,2.13.4 could not be updated because some 
of its dependencies are missing or not compatible:
required: MonoDevelop.Ide,5.0, found: MonoDevelop.Ide,7.8.4
required: MonoDevelop.Core,5.0, found: MonoDevelop.Core,7.8.4

does it mean, that Mono-D is not up to date?

thanks

Unfortunately the Mono-D repository [1] hasn't been updated in more than 3 years, so I think using Monodevelop for D development is probably not your best bet. And there should also be a notice about that on the wiki. [1] https://github.com/aBothe/Mono-D

Yes. MonoDevelop has moved on. Its had two going on three major versions since aBothe moved on with life. It was the best IDE IMO for D at the time (I still have it installed) but have switched to IntelliJ IDEA for D since then. I've tried updating it, but honestly MonoDevelop's code base is one of the worst I've ever seen. Very few if any comments.
