Hello everyone,
Just wanted to put out an announcement with a progress report on
porting effort of Tango. For those that don't know what it is, Tango
is a framework library that used to be/is the de facto standard
library of D1.
Through the heroic efforts by Igor Stepanov, the initial porting was
completed ahead of schedule. All the user modules are now ported (save
for tango.math.BigInt, which right now is aliased to std.bigint...
this might change in the future). All unittests pass on Linux (using
LDC2) and most do on Windows. Additionally, again kudos to Igor, it
compiles with -property and -w flags for all of you style purists.
Additionally, most of the examples have been also ported.
I have personally used Tango in few KLoC line D2 project and I find it
works just as well as it did in D1.
This is naturally not the end, in the coming weeks/months you can
expect the following:
-New Makefile based build system
-Documentation creation
-Ironing out of a few const related inelegancies
-Revival of the support for MacOSX and FreeBSD
-Revival of the GDC
-Shared library creation
-Dance lessons
You can download the latest version of it here:

Please please PLEASE, no makefiles. I just hate them.
