You don't have to keep the bitcoin, all those sites will buy your bitcoin with dollars anytime you want. It's just an open way to trade value- in your case, just another payment/donation method- I don't see the issue. If it required setting up a bunch of software, sure, but those websites make it easy to set up, as they run the client for you. Begging the question, why not trade your bitcoin for dollars and buy it using those? -Steve

Re: Please vote for the DConf logo
I prefer 3. It's simple, but effective. The graphic looks like an Olympic torch to me, which is good, indicating that D is a champion! :-) IMHO 2 needs the graphic to be more stylistic, otherwise it's good and simple. If it is improved, maybe it can be used later/elsewhere. But I don't get the message of 1. The graphic is too complicated, and the significance of its components is not self-evident. Appreciate the work people are putting into this, though. No offence to any artist intended... -- Shriramana Sharma, Penguin #395953

See the changelog for more details. http://dlang.org/changelog/2.069.0.html -Martin I'd like to put dlang people attention this: http://forum.dlang.org/post/bxmpvrttbhfuddsym...@forum.dlang.org It looks like there's been a problem when you compiled phobos because the new allocators miss !
Dhee - tiny app to learn/try out D
I wrote up a small PyQt app to help me do quick coding of snippets in D to help me learn how D works. https://github.com/jamadagni/dhee I wish there was (a working) QtD so I wouldn't need to use Python, but well... Looked into GtkD a bit, but somehow Gtk never clicked with me... P.S.: I only cross-posted as I thought this is relevant to both announce/learn. -- Shriramana Sharma, Penguin #395953

Hi Martin,
I've tried the new install with Windows Vista and Windows 7

Can you try again, I updated the installer and tried to revert
the other part of the change (though I don't see why that would
fix the problem). More details would help a lot at this point,
e.g. what windows are open (also look whether the uninstaller
hides any window) and what files are left in the install dir
(C:\D by default) while the installation hangs.
And let's please continue this in Bugzilla.
