Hello guys. It has been some time since my last post on forum
regarding redub.
It has improved a lot on its newest versions. Since it has been
put to prove on Hipreme Engine as its main build system, there
were a bunch of updates that I've done that made it even faster,
reliable, with more support to features that one can encounter in
dub. There is still a plenty of niche features that dub has that
it wasn't implemented, but, by now, I'm pretty sure it should
have achieved its 90% of compatibility :)
Here follows the release notes since the last time I posted
# Redub v1.3.9 release notes:
- Added: Support for folders with whitespace
v1.3.8
- Added: Error API
- Added: Public API for not requiring describe for getting linker
files and source files
v1.3.7
- Added: --version and fixed private dependencies
- Fixed: Now hipjson parses a single value json
v1.3.4
- Fixed: Memory allocation was failing
- Fixed: Even faster JSON parsing
v1.3.3
- Update: Make JSON parsing of redub faster by using hipjson ( I
got to parse json in 1/5 of the time)
- Fixed: Always use -op/--oq since it creates a compilation with
better compatibility
v1.3.1
- Added: Support for repository based dub paths
- Added: buildType support
v1.2.20
- Added: Now rebuild is also based on output artifact. This
guarantees that it won't reuse compilation artifacts on different
configurations
- Fixed: Generate cache for static libs too
v1.2.18
- Update: Content hashing is now using a faster hashing algorithm
v1.2.17
- Update: Improved efficiency of cache generation
- Update: Improved cache generation
- Fixed: now adv_diff supports date-only comparison
- Fixed: Some bugs on serialization
- Fixed: Bug when some caches would not be correctly identified
v1.2.13
- Fixed: Redub describe now includes requirements extra libpaths
- Added: Support to dflags as link flags and fixed escaping
problem

outputting file names correctly based on target system, linker
error are now being checked earlier
- Refactor: Buildapi is being prepared to use private visibility

linking on msvc to default one when cross compiling. Command
filters will now work on the target platform
- Added: Wasm support
- Fixed: Subconfiguration only are not iterated
- Fixed: Always merging sourcePaths into importPaths. finish
implementation now only will traverse unvisited nodes
- Fixed: Now elements with subConfigurations which aren't default
are the first to be parsed
- Fixed: Using Breadth First Search and mixing subConfigurations
for better subConfiguration resolution
- Added: Architecture support
- Added: More documentation to redub
- Fixed: Now, when rebuilding, redub will remove existing
binaries, since this was causing some problems with existing
binaries
