Hi,

an "official" release of Visual D is long overdue, so here it is with a 
selection of interesting changes:

* added support for string import dependencies (needs dmd 2.065)
* improved library path handling and defaults for x64
* added source control support for git in VS2013 (and maybe others)
* mute flood of errors by NuGet when building
* improved completion and integration with D_Parser
   - completion box now displays appropriate icon and tool tip
   - completion on selective import now lists identifiers from imported 
module
   - parameter tool tips now use prototype from D_Parser and shows doc
* updated to cv2pdb 0.31 with support for VS2013 and DWARF from gcc 4.8
* updated to mago 0.9

For a complete list of changes, see here:

Thanks to Alexander Bothe for helping with the integration of his 
excellent D parser library (https://github.com/aBothe/D_Parser) that 
also powers Mono-D. Visual D's own semantic analyzer cannot compete any 
longer both in speed and correctness and should be considered deprecated 
to avoid blocking integration of other features.

The installer can be found here:

Visual D is a Visual Studio extension that adds D language support to 
VS2005-20013 and is written in D. Its source code can be found on 
github: https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/visuald
