New Update Schedule

Hello D world. Starting in May DFL will have monthly maintenance releases. This will include updates for new compiler and Tango releases, and bug fixes.

First up in May will probably include the following:
- Updating support for current compiler versions; Phobos (D1 and D2) and Tango.
- Dropping compatibility for older compilers and libraries.
- Updating the installer; potentially dropping Tango support (installer only).
- Updating the main DFL page; point to the current monthly package.

Please let me know any thoughts you might have about DFL or Entice. I don't have plans yet about updating Entice, but I intend on keeping it alive.

Updates including new features will also be accepted from the community and reviewed for inclusion, and possibly giving svn access.

Yeah! Good news. Big thanks. I particularly look forward to using DFL with current D1 and current Tango. Entice just works nicely for me.

Edit:

I just saw the new DFL-r84 Very Happy

I tested it with dmd-1.060 and Tango-r5460 and at least my test apps work!

Thanks again.

Hi Chris! Nice to see you give not up;) I hope you work on the port for unix/linux/BSD too...

Hi Chris. Glad to see that regular updates are coming, though I'm a little sad not to see any of my patches/support updates get in. Unfortunately, my project does rely on my extended version of Treeview, so I won't be testing/using this immediately. I'll try and get an updated patch done shortly.
Take care,
-Robert

Hi sandford, I appreciate your help. I can't directly accept changes only for D2 because it might not be compatible with D1, but I do look to it when making my changes, so it does help. Thanks.

As to your extensions to treeview, I wonder if the below example will do what you want, without needing the extension:

Excellent news!!! I've been wanting to use DFL again for some time. I keep up with tango and d1 current releases and it's been a long time since I used DFL for that reason.

All tango examples compile and work correctly with latest tango 0.99.9 binary release (with dmd 1.056) and dsss 0.78, except for dirlistview.d (some tango deprecated issues nothing big). I'm using latest DFL trunk (r84 at the moment).

I love to see this updates coming! I would suggest/love some dsss config files for building the library if posible. Anyway thanx for the great news.

About Entice I would love to see it coming along with current releases of DFl, I used to work with them a lot.

A new snapshot with an installer is up:
http://wiki.dprogramming.com/Dfl/Snapshots

This includes support for Tango 0.99.9 but not including dfl.socket because Tango's socket was changed to a struct.

I'm considering removing dfl.socket and making it an addon. Any thoughts on this?

Chris,

Any thread or wishlist for suggestions?
A bin paste (http://paste.dprogramming.com/ perhaps) for user suggested code?

Hi!
DFL is a nice library.
But I don't see many updates anymore. (or maybe I'm looking at the wrong place)
Is it still being developed?

Thanks
