I'm currently working on a fully compliant macro parser in libddoc. The macro WEB is not part of the standard definition, it's part of dlang.org's definitions, which you can find on Github (.ddoc files). More precisely, it's defined in html.ddoc ( https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dlang.org/blob/master/html.ddoc ). I guess it can make sense to had that file included by default, but at the same time I'd like to avoid projects documentation to rely on non-standard behavior. Yes, I'm using libddoc (not current harbored directly - using a fork) so those builtin macros already work. I don't want to include all the phobos/dlang.org macros, but I will add them on case-by-case basis when people use them in their projects' docs so the docs still work.
Re: DDocs.org: auto-generated documentation for all DUB projects (WIP)
Great work. I noticed a few mistakes in the layout:
div.main-description
{
width: 160%;
should be 100%
The e-o , p-z links are overlapping the arrow symbols.
http://ddocs.org/favicon.ico is a 404
The CSS is actually correct, I'm using display: flex for the
intro/developer info.
I added prefixes so it works in browsers like Safari that don't
yet support the official syntax. It'll still look ugly in IE9 and
older (and frankly, I don't see that as an issue). Same with the
arrows/links, where I'm using transform: rotate().
Browser support for these features:
http://caniuse.com/#feat=flexbox
http://caniuse.com/#feat=transforms2d
Also, added a favicon (just a png of the dlang.org favicon).

Re: Harbored-mod (doc generator) 0.2: Cross-referencing, methods/fields no longer in separate files
Atleast on chrome win7 the font is absolutely awful. Could you post a screenshot? I mostly just use the default sans which can result in any font being used based on the OS, Also any chance that it could output json to represent modules instead of html? Very unlikely in near future, I've refactored *most* HTML writing code but the rest would still need a lot of work, and then there'd be a non-trivial chunk of HTMLWriter code to rewrite (1k lines), which would likely result in finding finding more deficencies in separation of HTML writing from the rest of the code.

So for the moment, it's a little secret feature shared between all who may read this. :o) How do you use it? --- By default, binutils programs will treat all mangled symbols as C++, however you can override this by using --demangle=dlang, eg: objdump -d --demangle=dlang prog.o nm --demangle=dlang ddmd You can also kickstart your usage by putting -L--demangle=dlang in your dmd.conf, and watch your obscure linker errors turn into pretty function signatures.

Harbored-mod 0.1: A documentation generator with DDoc and Markdown support based on Harbored
Harbored-mod is a documentation generator based on Brian Schott's Harbored. Features It supports (a non-conflicting subset of) Markdown besides DDoc, so Markdown can be used together with DDoc in documentation comments. Some other features: * Decent defaults. `hmod source` will generate rather usable documentation very similar to this one: * CSS and main page content can be overridden. Extra content can be added to the table of contents (e.g. links to non-DDoc generated documentation, I use it to link to tutorials/articles written in ReStructuredText) * Documented config file you can write all command-line options to, so just typing `hmod` will regenerate the docs. * Generated file paths are same as those generated by DDox, so links will not break if moving from one to the other. -- Examples of generated docs (work-in-progress Tharsis docs) -- http://defenestrate.eu/docs/tharsis-core/api/tharsis/entity/entitymanager/EntityManager.html http://defenestrate.eu/docs/tharsis-core/api/tharsis/entity/componenttypeinfo/ImmutableRawComponent.html http://defenestrate.eu/docs/tharsis-core/api/tharsis/entity/processtypeinfo/prioritizeProcessOverloads.html - Links - * GitHub: https://github.com/kiith-sa/harbored-mod * Original Harbored: https://github.com/economicmodeling/harbored -- Background -- Harbored-mod started as an attempt to remove things I didn't want from Harbored (inability to work without JS, frames, etc.) but I ended up with more changes than I originally intended, and I think at this point it might be useful for other people as well. I pushed it into a separate repository because I don't think at this point it can be sanely merged into harbored (plus there are those features I removed).

The GUI is still a bit inconvenient (need slow-motion replay and minimap to efficiently browse), but it got to the point where it's usable.

It is not critical to our code because it almost never uses threads so no big effort was put into it but this can be huge problem for any other project. In general this is very far from something that can be merged upstream straight away and replace default GC on linux.

D:GameVFS 0.2
D:GameVFS is a (very) minimal virtual file system library for game development. https://github.com/kiith-sa/D-GameVFS I updated D:GameVFS to work with DMD 2.066 and put it on DUB. There are no major changes, just a bunch of small features I added over time as I use it. Note that at this point this isn't hugely useful. The only VFS backend that is implemented is... plain FS (I expect to implement a zip backend once I need it), the main useful feature is directory stacking (i.e. treating files in multiple directories as if they were one directory, where files from directories up the stack override those from directories below). As always, the API is not stable.

D:YAML at GitHub: https://github.com/kiith-sa/D-YAML ## Highlights ## Some breaking changes: YAML loading API using std.stream is now obsolete. D:YAML 0.5 requires DMD 2.066 (yes, the one that is not yet released - see 0.4.5 below for compatibility). DUB by default: Stopped using my own build script, updated examples to use DUB, etc. Significantly less memory allocations, both GC and malloc: D:YAML scanner now uses slices to avoid any allocations. UTF-8 is now used internally instead of decoding into UTF-32. Better performance: I've spent some time profiling and optimizing, mainly for the use case of 'parsing few-kiB mostly ASCII files not using crazy advanced YAML features' (I use YAML for game-related stuff). Performance for the above use case is up about 80% (or, time spent is down to about 55%). For mostly-unicode (that is, mostly non-ASCII unicode) files, performance is down slightly (~10-15%). I don't have any thorough measurements to release, just did various tests as I went. Retired the dyaml.alwaysdata.net site, moved API docs/tutorials to my new site: http://defenestrate.eu/docs/dyaml/ And various small features/fixes/improvements. See the full changelog for details: https://github.com/kiith-sa/D-YAML/releases/tag/v0.5.0 ## D:YAML 0.4.5 ## For compatibility with DMD 2.065, I also made a release out of the last state of git master before 2.066 was required. See the release at GitHub: https://github.com/kiith-sa/D-YAML/releases/tag/v0.4.5 ## TinyEndian ## This is just a single module with two functions that I separated into a DUB package as I think it may be useful. When removing the std.stream dependency from D:YAML I had to replace EndianStream with my own code (based on EndianStream but mostly rewritten). The result are two pure nothrow @nogc functions to detect UTF byte order marks and swap endianness https://github.com/kiith-sa/tinyendian

I'm starting work on a (very) small tool using dimgui. When building an example (demo), I had to explicitly tell DUB to link the GLFW library - shouldn't this already be handled by the GLFW bindings? (Also, on Linux you have to tell it to link dl...) I.e. I added the following to dub.json of the example: libs: [ dl, glfw ], I assume it works on Windows without this? (if so, how to change it so it works on both?) I'm on Linux (Mint 17 x64, similar to Ubuntu 14.04) - btw, Mint17/Ubuntu14.04 only has GLFW2 in the repo, which confused me when I had GLFW but still saw unresolved symbols - but the next release will probably have GLFW3. Also: it would be nice to have example/s that is completely standalone, can be copied by itself and works (currently examples depend on the DroidSans.ttf file higher up the directory tree) - maybe even in a separate repo.

What is gained by using .webm that would offset the reduced audience? It is gradually becoming the de facto standard for video on web. It can already be viewed directly in all modern browsers even outside of YouTube. It is usable on platforms where flash is now dead (the number of which is increasing). Vast (vast! even on Windows) majority of the audience don't use IE. It doesn't have patent issues. YouTube is (very slowly) moving to .webm too, after all they were the main reason for it. I for one like videos that are don't all depend on a single platform and that I can download without resorting to hacks. And that I can view in my browser more seamlessly than what YouTube's flash interface can do. With this kind of thinking we'd still be using $FORMAT where $FORMAT is the first format that became the de-facto standard in a particular area.

Do you intend to keep this a straight port or will it be open to modifications? From a brief look at the source, it's possible I'll end up needing turning shapes from classes to structs and/or hooking it up with a custom allocator. I expect to need to spawn/destroy objects of varying shapes very often. (I do plan to try the current version first, though; it may be good enough) If I make such changes (which may affect the API, although the changes can probably be kept somewhat small), should I open a pull request or start a fork (ddbox? ;p)?

Hello!
I would like to announce my project, DlangUI library -
cross-platform GUI for D.
https://github.com/buggins/dlangui
License: Boost License 1.0
Native library written in D (not a wrapper to other GUI
library) - easy to extend.
As a backend, uses SDL2 on any platform, Win32 API on Windows,
XCB on Linux. Other backends can be added easy.
Tested on Windows and Linux.
Supports hardware acceleration - drawing using OpenGL when
built with version=USE_OPENGL.
Unicode support.
Internationalization support.
Uses Win32 API fonts on Windows, and FreeType on other
platforms.
Same look and feel can be achieved on all platforms.
Flexible look and feel - themes and styles.
API is a bit similar to Android UI.
Flexible layout, support of different screen DPI, scaling.
Uses two phase layout like in Android.
Supports drawable resources in .png and .jpeg, nine-patch pngs
and state drawables like in Android.
Single threaded. Use other threads for performing slow tasks.
Mouse oriented.
Actually, it's a port (with major redesign) of my library used
for cross-platform version of my application CoolReader from
C++.
State of project: alpha. But, already can be used for simple 2D
games and simple GUI apps.
I'm keeping in mind a goal to write D language IDE based on
dlangui. :)
Adding support of 3D graphics is planned.
Currently implemented widgets:
TextWidget - simple static text (TODO: implement multiline
formatting)
ImageWidget - static image
Button - simple button with text label
ImageButton - image only button
TextImageButton - button with icon and label
CheckBox - check button with label
RadioButton - radio button with label
EditLine - single line edit
EditBox - multiline editor
VSpacer - vertical spacer - just an empty widget with
layoutHeight == FILL_PARENT, to fill vertical space in layouts
HSpacer - horizontal spacer - just an empty widget with
layoutWidth == FILL_PARENT, to fill horizontal space in layouts
ScrollBar - scroll bar
TabControl - tabs widget, allows to select one of tabs
TabHost - container for pages controlled by TabControl
TabWidget - combination of TabControl and TabHost
Layouts - Similar to layouts in Android
LinearLayout - layout children horizontally or vertically
depending on orientation
VerticalLayout - just a LinearLayout with vertical orientation
HorizontalLayout - just a LinearLayout with vertical orientation
FrameLayout - all children occupy the same place; usually onle
one of them is visible
TableLayout - children are aligned into rows and columns of
table
List Views - similar to lists in Android UI API.
ListWidget - layout dynamic items horizontally or vertically
(one in row/column) with automatic scrollbar; can reuse widgets
for similar items
ListAdapter - interface to provide data and widgets for
ListWidget
WidgetListAdapter - simple implementation of ListAdapter
interface - just a list of widgets (one per list item) to show
Sample project, example1 contains demo code for most of dlangui
API.
Try it using DUB:
git clone https://github.com/buggins/dlangui.git
cd dlangui
dub run dlangui:example1
Fonts note: on Linux, several .TTFs are loaded from hardcoded
paths (suitable for Ubuntu).
TODO: add fontconfig support to access all available system
fonts.
Helloworld:
// main.d
import dlangui.all;
mixin DLANGUI_ENTRY_POINT;
/// entry point for dlangui based application
extern (C) int UIAppMain(string[] args) {
// resource directory search paths
string[] resourceDirs = [
appendPath(exePath, ../res/), // for Visual D and
DUB builds
appendPath(exePath, ../../res/) // for Mono-D builds
];
// setup resource directories - will use only existing
directories
Platform.instance.resourceDirs = resourceDirs;
// select translation file - for english language
Platform.instance.uiLanguage = en;
// load theme from file theme_default.xml
Platform.instance.uiTheme = theme_default;
// create window
Window window = Platform.instance.createWindow(My Window,
null);
// create some widget to show in window
window.mainWidget = (new Button()).text(Hello

// run message loop
return Platform.instance.enterMessageLoop();
}
DDOC generated documentation can be found there:
https://github.com/buggins/dlangui/tree/master/docs
For more info see readme and example1 code.
I would be glad to see any feedback.
Can this project be useful for someone? What features/widgets
are must have for you?
Best regards,
Vadim coolreader@gmail.com
Awesome.
Does this work like a conventional GUI toolkit (Gtk/Qt) or could
I integrate this in an OpenGL game? (or would I have to integrate
the game in it?)

On Monday, 19 May 2014 at 19:50:37 UTC, Colden Cullen wrote: Hi everyone, I’m super excited to be able to announce that the Dash game engine[1] is finally stable and ready for public use! I’m currently the Lead Engine Programmer at Circular Studios[2] (the group behind Dash). We had 14 people working on the team, 6 engine programmers and 8 game developers creating Spectral Robot Task Force, a turn-based strategy game built with Dash. Dash is an OpenGL engine written in the D language that runs on both Windows and Linux. We use a deferred-rendering model in the current pipeline, and a component model for game development and logic. Other major features at the moment include networking, skeletal-animation support, content and configuration loading via YAML, and UI support through Awesomium[3] (though we are in the process of moving over to using CEF[4] itself). Our vision for Dash is to have the programmer-facing model of XNA/Monogame combined with the designer-friendliness of Unity in a fully free and open source engine. We also hope that Dash can help to prove the power and maturity of D as a language, as well as push D to continue improving. We’re open to any feedback you may have, or better yet, we’d love to see pull requests for improvements. [1] https://github.com/Circular-Studios/Dash [2] http://circularstudios.com/ [3] http://awesomium.com/ [4] https://code.google.com/p/chromiumembedded/ Looks awesome. Don't have time now (finals) but will check it out later. (I'm developing my own gamedev related... stuff so I'm unlikely to be a user but looks like it might finally be something a new user can pick up right away and just start making a game in D) For now all criticism I can give is that http://dash.circularstudios.com/v1.0/docs is completely useless with NoScript. At least put a warning for NoScript users.

I did avoid unnecessary allocations but it still does use the GC quite a bit (I plan to eventually change that and add some other optimizations but I'd like std.allocator to be in phobos first and I didn't find it too slow for my own projects yet).
