That's correct. Ali After recent messages I realize that original depreciation discussion on github was really far away from community which is sign of proper announcement procedure failure. By the way, this also indicates that situation with D changelog is not satisfactory either.

I buy only novels. Me too! Unfortunately I bought Andrei's book for Kindle. It occasionally blocks on Kindle, even after I have reloaded it a few times. Works well on my laptop though. Theoretically searching would be an advantage for electronic books, but it is nearly useless without complex queries. And the table of contents lists chapters only... Peter Good to see that I am not the only one... :) Yes, search and hyperlinks are advantage, but the so far I rarely search, I read book from first page to the last, and the most important thing for me is the readability. Even the source code is formatted poorly in ePUB and Kindle, especially if I decide to increase slightly the overall font size in the book by few points... -- Dejan Lekic dejan.lekic (a) gmail.com http://dejan.lekic.org

I'm not sure these are well known yet, so well done! I should make a pass in my own code base to change that. I did not read the part on properties, since I'm pretty sure you'll have to write it anew ;)

You are right. What I meant is more like there is no need to continue using this awkward syntax anymore. I will change it later to something milder. :) Ali
