Happy new year!

Just the right time for a new release of Visual D!
This version features

* Win32/COFF support for dmd 2.067+

* basic support to compile C/C++ files as part of the D project

* dparser: updated Alex Bothes semantic analyzer to a recent version 
(the engine that also powers Mono-D)

* goto file/line for mixin errors and exception dumps

* link dependency monitor now uses tracker.exe from MSBuild or WinSDK

Please grab the installer at 
http://rainers.github.io/visuald/visuald/StartPage.html

Thanks Rainer

As VisualD is now part of D-Programming-Language, it would be 
great if it would have the same releases/tags. Would i.e. 
simplify the maintenance of the DMD Windows installer and also 
make it clear with which D version VisualD keeps pace ;)


Keep the great stuft rollin' and habe a great 2015!

Most of the new features and bug fixes in Visual D are not linked to language changes. Those that are probably also need support in dparser, which is an external project. I'm also trying to have more frequent releases than dmd, so versions will diverge. Maybe a sticker somewhere "best with dmd 2.xxx" could help matching the appropriate compiler version. Please note that Visual D also has support for GDC and LDC.

Huzzah! You're my hero, as always! :)
 This version features

 * Win32/COFF support for dmd 2.067+
Does DMD bundle COFF32 libs yet? We really need to get those in the next release.

Nothing prepared for that yet. I believe this feature was supposed to be experimental for a release without official support, but given the rate of dmd releases, that time frame is probably too long. It's also annoying to try out without the runtime precompiled. Maybe I should add some phobos build support to Visual D. That would also allow to add debug information to the runtime for better debug experience (https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4014 might still be a nuisance).

Awesome! In order to make it easier for new users, the documentation could mention that "Visual Studio Community 2013" is a viable choice, there's no need to use 'Express' for C++ and 'Shell' for D.

Thanks for the hint, I have now updated the documentation.
