The D2.0 changelog states Phobos was split with v2.020 but there are no 
information about that for D1.

I'm especially interested in using a library based on Tango while using 
Phobos in the application itself (e.g. using the new DWT)

Druntime is only used for phobos 2 currently, not for 1.  So there won't 
be any further phobos/tango compatibility until tango is ported to D 
2.0.  And then dwt has to be ported too.

The closest you can get is using tangobos, which phobos modified to run 
on top of tango.  Probably better to just learn tango.

Yeah, officially. But there also is a D1 branch of druntime and there 
are even build instructions for 1.x.

So why don't they port tango to that D1 version of druntime?

What is the need?  The very purpose of having druntime in the first place is 
to have Tango and Phobos share a common runtime.  If Tango is ported to 
druntime, then Phobos is *still* not compatible because Phobos 1 does not 
use it.

Tango's runtime is pretty much exactly like druntime anyways, since druntime 
is a port of Tango's runtime.

The only need I forsee is if the druntime 1.0 branch gets some enhancements 
that Tango needs to use.

Once Tango for D2 is finished (being worked on, albeit very slowly), then 
druntime comes into play.

That's why one needs to rebuild phobos as the guideline states:

Any clues when this will be finished?

That guideline is for D2 phobos only.  D1 phobos would need to be rewritten 
to use the new runtime, which as far as I know has not been done. (Sean, 
there probably should be a note stating this, as the doc is slightly 
ambiguous).

When I get some more free time :(  There is a branch that currently builds 
on Linux with dmd 2.019 (I haven't touched druntime yet, because I was 
waiting for it to stabilize).  There have been many significant changes to 
the trunk since that was done, including a major io reorg, so you'd be still 
dealing with the old source (and possibly old bugs).

Yup.  The rewrite would essentially be Tangobos anyway.  I'll clarify 
the doc.

I can only think of one reason: When porting Tango to D2, it'll be one less
thing to do.

The Tangobos + Tango combo works just fine.  I use it all the time.
