No, it has not been out for a while. I would even say that it's not out yet! It still doesn't exist yet in the same way as D1. D1 was a clearly defined snapshot of the language at a particular moment in time. The feature list is unchanged since D1.014, except for array operations which were finally implemented in D1.034. It reached release 1.076 just with bugfixes, ie there were 61 bugfix releases. D2 is the ongoing language development, and we still don't have a stability branch more recent than the D1 branch. Almost every release has contained a new feature, and I can't see that stopping anytime soon.

Not to mention, there probably aren't even all that many places that we'd change the language in a non-backwards compatible way even if we could start from scratch (and even in those places, we might not change them in D3, because it would make porting from D2 to D3 much riskier). By no means is D2 perfect, but for the most part, I think that we can either fix the problems with it without resorting to D3, or we'd end up having similar problems in D3 anyway. Regardless, we need to make D2 a success before we even consider considering creating something like D3. And there may never be a D3. That's a question that really shouldn't be up for discussion for years yet. - Jonathan M Davis

FYI there is no stable version of D2. There are still many grey areas and there are yet to come possible radical changes to come (like final-by-default for an example). However, it may be a good idea to have a list of things that are commonly postponed for D3 ocassionally. You are free to go through NG threads, and compile this list. We have http://wiki.dlang.org - perfect place for that.

So I figure you didn't read the text/html part with the nice 1.5x line height which makes reading easy on the eyes? No? :) -- Marco

Hah, I wondered why these snarky replies quoting nothing were showing up. I saw the text from Jonathan, so I was confused :) It would be cool if the web forum software replied with a "that doesn't work for me" email, but of course, we no longer have actual email addresses in the posts with this "via Digitalmars-d" stuff :D I can imagine many people use mail clients that by default use text/html. -Steve

[...] My mail client only uses text/plain. T -- Not all rumours are as misleading as this one.

Yeah, sorry about that. The web interface that I'm forced to use for e-mail when I'm at work just got changed, and it screwed with my settings - and clearly in a very nasty way. It should be fixed now though. - Jonathan M Davis

Perhaps it is fixed, but on the web forum still there's nothing to be seen. What was it about? Something serious or some joke/semiserious stuff?

What was what? The post I posted to this thread that got munged? I could repost it, though there are several posts like that across the newsgroup, because I posted several times before I realized what's going on. - Jonathan M Davis
