DLS deprecation
I started working on this project to make it more comfortable to write D back in 2017, published a VSCode extension a couple months later, and continued working on it throughout 2018. In 2019 however, I slowed down, and eventually, stopped working on it. It was fun, and kept me well occupied for quite some time; but I have been working on something else since April of last year, and since I don't have any use for D in it, I am not taking time to do anything with DLS. So today, I am deprecating DLS, along with its editor extensions. If anyone was using them, be advised that they will not have any update or support from now on. Webfreak is still working on code-d/serve-d from what I gather, so hopefully, the handful of people who could be using DLS on VSCode can use it instead.

Thanks for all the work and for the heads up! Is what you’re working on shareable information (just out of curiosity)? Cheers and good luck with the other stuff!

(T_T) Thanks for the effort you put on DLS, it's really a good piece of software. Really it should've been an official sponsored project and with a DMD backend it would be perfect.

I was wondering how much time maintaining took? And what where the biggest things to upkeep?

It's shareable (it's on Github just like DLS); it's a mobile app, the Android version is in Kotlin, and the iOS version in Swift. I think it's hard to beat native languages for these platforms, as they both have tailored APIs and development environments (and they are backed by giant companies putting lots of resources into them)

Maybe I'm misinterpreting things I've read on certain threads, but I thought the D foundation wasn't too fond of sponsoring projects. Using DMD as a backend would mean that DMD would have to be worked on first, and most of DLS would pretty much have to be rewritten from scratch. The code is still up (and will stay) on Github if anyone dares to attempt that...

It is on our TODO list to switch over tools like DCD over to dmd-fe at some point. I am waiting for a lot more maturity before digging in to see what is missing though.

It's mostly upgrading dependencies, and the occasional bugfix. However DLS would really need a lot more time to get better. I think its current state is a dead end, and if anything should be done with it, it's a rewrite, and not just maintenance. A recent DMD release changed the default behavior of running unit tests, and broke the CI (integration tests aren't running anymore); and the deprecation of `alias get this` in Nullable created a number of deprecation messages on compilation that sends shivers down my spine (DLS abuses Nullable as an optional type).

bindbc-sdl Updates
I've updated the BindBC bindings (to the Simple Direct Media Layer (SDL) library and its satellite libraries to support the following: SDL 2.0.12 SDL_image 2.0.5 SDL_mixer 2.0.4 This is available in bindbc-sdl 0.16.0: http://bindbc-sdl.dub.pm/ A few notes: The SDL maintainers have moved to a system of labeling public releases with even patch levels and development releases with odd patch levels. SDL 2.0.12 is the first release of SDL under that system. The same goes for SDL_mixer 2.0.4. SDL_image 2.0.5 was released before it took effect. There is no difference in the public API of SDL_image versions 2.0.2, 2.0.3, 2.0.4, and 2.0.5, other than the value of the SDL_IMAGE_PATCHLEVEL constant. SDL_mixer 2.0.4 added support for OPUS files. The only API changes aside from the patchlevel constant are a couple of new values for the Mix_InitFlags and Mix_MusicType enums.
