Hi Ali,

Thanks for your book - it is the definitive go-to resource for D 
newcomers as well as "refresher" reference for part time D 
programmers like myself.

The fact that you keep it up to date (if even only the e-copy 
release), is also a huge plus for us.

But, if I can maybe ask/recommend - is it possible to add a 
RevisionHistory on your ddili.org site?

In fact, your announcement details in this announcement would be 
perfect as the content for this release. So, since you write 
these announcements anyway, hopefully not a lot of work... ;-)

Also, I don't think anyone would expect you do this for every 
revision since the 1st one, even from the current Revision 
onward, but updated for every new revision in the future, would 
already be great.

The reason I am asking is that it is sometimes difficult to know 
if you have updated some part/section/chapter of your book with 
some recent changes to the language/runtime/Phobos.

I think this will be super useful since it is used by myself and 
others as a kind of "Quick-Reference" book to D now. This is not 
as critical for most of the other books (Adam's Cookbook, Kai's 
Web Dev book, etc), since they don't attempt to cover the 
language in full and hence do not have the same "reference" 
aspect your book does. I know Andrei's TDPL book is supposed to 
be the definitive reference (and I do have a copy), but it is now 
quite out-of-date!

But, most of all, thanks for a super-useful book!
