Hello, and merry Christmas! (a bit late, but whatever)

At the end of March of this year, I had made a post [1] about 
this project, aimed at helping with D development on various 
editors (VSCode, Atom, Sublime text, vim...) [2].
In a nutshell, it's a bit like serve-d [3], albeit with fewer 
features, and focused more on being 'plug and play': a single 
binary with no dependencies, can be installed without being 
compiled on most OS's, automatically updates itself and tries to 
adapt to different dmd/ldc installations.

At the end of March it was at v0.1.5, which was primitive, and 
quite terrible in a lot of ways. I've recently released v0.20.1, 
and after 19 minor versions, it is certainly in better shape (or 
less terrible shape, depending on how you see it) than it used to 
be.
If anyone was curious about it at the time, but put off by its 
numerous flaws and lack of features, it should be more usable by 
now.

Some of its most notable changes since then include:
- Binary releases for the update system, replacing the previous 
method of recompiling itself and creating a black hole swallowing 
your RAM
- Tweaks to make it usable on FreeBSD with the Linux 
compatibility module
- Better integration with DFMT, D-Scanner and DCD, leading to new 
features and enhancements such as: linting, finding definitions, 
finding references, symbol renaming, listing module and workspace 
symbols, formatting without replacing the whole document, range 
formatting, local variable highlighting
- Better support for projects that don't use Dub, with detection 
of folders named `source` or `src`, and automatic importing of a 
project's git submodules
- Better detection of drumtime and phobos installation paths
- Fewer crashes

Happy coding!

This is an excellent update--the update Just Works™ with VSCode on my 
mac, and functions very nicely too. Thanks!

I might suggest that you perhaps rename the VSCode extension to remove 
"VSCode" from the name (as it's redundant) and add "D Language" (because 
the current name makes it a bit hard to discover).

You're welcome; it's a relief to hear that, as I don't have a mac 
to actually test it on macOS!

Yes, I'll probably do that in its next release.

+1, It's a great piece of software, so thank you.

I'm using it  on Mac also, when I'm not using vim: works like a 
charm!

This is the best plugin for VSCode !!!

Amazing work thanks !

And it is light on ram usage, i have a big project, with many 
subpackages, and it only uses 100~mb, unlike code-d wich uses one 
server per project, wich result in 1gb + of usage

So thanks a lot !!!

Nice! Great work!

How does DLS compare to the features of DCD?

I'm using DCD through my beloved Emacs. Is there a more powerful 
Emacs+DLS-solution ready for use?

DLS actually uses DCD as a library. There is some custom handling 
to be able to find multiple declarations for methods with 
multiple overloads and such (DCD will only send one), and some 
code to try to find all references to a symbol in a project 
(which is also used for symbol renaming).

However, it doesn't use the latest DCD 0.10 version yet, so 
standalone DCD is probably still the best regarding 
autocompletion.

I don't know.
There seems to be 2 language client extensions for Emacs : 
lsp-mode [1] and eglot [2]. I'm not sure how Emacs' packages are 
configured since I've never used Emacs; but it looks like 
lsp-mode would require a small custom package to glue everything 
together, while eglot, according to its README, can be configured 
to add more servers manually, with a line like:
`(add-to-list 'eglot-server-programs '(foo-mode . 
("foo-language-server" "--args")))`
I haven't looked into Emacs yet, maybe I'll do that in the coming 
days.

I looked into lsp-mode a bit more, and actually, after installing 
it, its dependencies and d-mode, a few lines of configuration in 
Emacs' init file are enough apparently:

(require 'lsp)

(lsp-register-client
   (make-lsp-client
     :new-connection (lsp-stdio-connection 
'("~/.dub/packages/.bin/dls-latest/dls"))
     :major-modes '(d-mode)
     :server-id 'dls))

After adding this, and installing DLS (`dub fetch dls; dub run 
dls:bootstrap`), it should be working.

Can dfmt be disabled completely? I think I tried this before way 
back and it couldn't. I don't really want auto formatting of my 
code.

It can be disabled in the initialization options. You can set 
`d.init.capabilities.documentFormatting` to `false` in the 
configuration settings for VSCode and Atom; for other editors it 
depends on the language client extension that's used.
