Hi,

with the recent initiatives to create bindings to C libraries and port 
C/C++ code to D, I thought the integration into Visual D of some tools 
written some time ago could be helpful. It proved to be a bit more work 
than expected to get them in shape, but finally the C++ to D converter 
seems usable. Read more about it here: 
http://www.dsource.org/projects/visuald/wiki/Tour/CppConversion
There is also a command line version available for those not working 
with Visual Studio.

There are more changes in this release:

   * highlighting: new colors for user defined list of types (defaults 
to basic types in object.d, see 
http://www.dsource.org/projects/visuald/wiki/Tour/Editor)
   * disabled versions: fixed wrong highlighting when editing before 
conditional
   * fixed freeze in startup due to thread starting issues (probably 
only happened with more than 2 cores)
   * added C++ to D conversion wizard
   * added installation for Visual Studio 11
   * tweaked dialogs to better integrate with VS

Visual D is a Visual Studio package providing both project management 
and language services for the D programming language. It works with 
Visual Studio 2005, 2008 and 2010 as well as the free Visual Studio Shells.

The Visual D installer can be downloaded from its website at

Happy coding,
Rainer
