Horray! Great news.

Some initial nit-picking:

According to 
http://www.dsource.org/projects/visuald/wiki/Installation

"Visual Studio Shell 2012" is supported.

But https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/visuald only 
mentions:

* Supported Visual Studio versions
  - VS.NET 2003 (some limitations apply)
  - VS 2005
  - VS 2008
  - VS 2010

1) I assume that the full non express 2012 is supported also?

2) VS Shell 2010 link @ 
http://www.dsource.org/projects/visuald/wiki/Installation is 
broken.


3) Preferably the two links to The Visual Studio Shell 2012 
should be visible in the github readme.

Do you have plans for changing the homepage for VisualD? The one 
on dsource is more related to the old repository.

It is planned to move the homepage to dlang.org. It might take some time 
to convert the wiki pages to some other format which can be used to 
generate the pages (ddoc?). Easiest would probably be to add it to 
wiki.dlang.org, but I'm unsure whether this is appropriate.

Thanks for pointing these out. The README didn't receive a lot of 
attention lately, most of the documentation and news is on the web site. 
I agree, with it being displayed on the front github page it should be 
updated.

The main documentation should be in ddoc and part of dlang.org. The wiki is for 
user-supplied supplemental information.


I know this will be a fair amount of work, and will take time. I'm sure Rainer 
could use some help from anyone who wants to step up!

No problem, I thought of one additional idea to enhance first

Is this stable enough to be made default enabled in future 
releases?

"Use Alexander Bothe's D parsing engine for semantic analysis"
"writing '.'"

I only found it because I remember reading about it on this very 
forum, it is my fear that other new users won't find it and hence 
consider the intellisense-experience lacking.


After enabling this tiny checkbox,... wow, I love it! Thanks

I just adapted the installer script and tried it with VS2013 RC. Seems 
to work fine from a first glance, it will be available with the next 
release.

Yeah, it's quite a bit better than the integrated analyzer. Plus, 
Alexander is constantly improving it while I'm busy with other stuff. 
I'll think about making it the default in the next release.

Rename it to README.md and you can use Github markdown to have a nicely 
formatted readme.

I'm not sure if I mentioned this before, but I have to comment on the
following section:

```
Library search path not passed to linker

Even though Visual D allows to set a library search path, this does
not work with the default installation of DMD. Optlink, the linker
used by DMD, only accepts the path in the LIB environment variable..
```

Doesn't the -L+ switch work for you? I've documented it here:

Looks sweet! Btw, I suggest making that picture in the lower-right
clickable so you can zoom in to get the full resolution picture.

Yeah, I also wanted to click it ;-) Will do.

-L+libpath\ does not work if you also want to pass resource or def file. 
-L always appends the arguments to the end of the command line, but the 
library paths must be added before the ',' that separates libraries and 
resource file.


Actually, that paragraph is out of date, because Visual D can now call 
optlink separately and will do this if you have specified additional 
library paths.
