Here's a beta release of Hybrid - a pretty fresh approach to GUI 
toolkits which combines Immediate Mode GUIs with Retained Mode GUIs.

// Tango-only at the moment.

Quoting the wiki, "Hybrid is a Graphical User Interface toolkit for the 
D programming language. It is primarily aimed at games (for menus, 
in-game options, debug consoles, HUDs), their tools and other sorts of 
multimedia applications, where the GUI can change dynamically."

More info at http://hybrid.team0xf.com/

As for info not mentioned on the wiki, I'm planning to use Hybrid in 
Deadlock and its level, animation, shader, etc. editors. In fact, the 
prototype for Hybrid was used in Deadlock before and has worked very 
well. This release is a complete redesign and rewrite.

Hybrid is licensed under the MIT license.

PS. Make sure to see the immediate-mode API to Menu creation. Lazy 
evaluation and typesafe variadics do wonders there :)
