Visual D released

[Rainer Schuetze]

Hello,

I'd like to announce the initial release of Visual D, a Visual Studio 
package providing both project management and language services for 
integration of the D programming language into Visual Studio.

Here are some features:

     * Project management
           o all DMD command line options accessible
           o support for resource compiler
           o custom build commands
           o pre/post custom build steps
           o automatic dependency generation
           o automatic link between dependent projects
           o integrates cv2pdb for seamless debugger integration
           o new project templates

     * Language Service
           o syntax highlighting
           o simple word-completion
           o import statement completion
           o goto definition (using JSON file from compilation)
           o smart indentation
           o highlight/jump-to matching braces
           o code snippets

     * Supported Visual Studio versions
           o VS 2005, VS 2008
           o with some limitations: VS.NET 2003, VS 2010

     * Easy installer for hassle-free installation

And for the fun and frustration: Visual D is completely written in D.

Visual D can be downloaded from http://www.dsource.org/projects/visuald

This project is still at an early stage, so you might notice a lot of 
rough edges. You can find a list of known issues on the feature-page. 
Any feedback is welcome.

Enjoy,
Rainer
