Hi,

a new version of Visual D, the Visual Studio extension that adds D
language support to VS2008-2019, is available at

https://rainers.github.io/visuald/visuald/StartPage.html

Major highlights of this release are

- improvements to the DMD based semantic engine: it has been updated to
the frontend version 2.091, and code-completion has improved quite a
bit, so much that I would recommend everyone to actually try it (unless
you have too little RAM installed to cope with the frontends hunger for
memory). Use "Visual D -> Open Language options..." from the menu to
enable the "DMD parsing engine" as well as "Colorize identifiers from
semantic analysis" on the "Editor" options page.

- the debugger expression evaluation now has support for tuples and
simpler display of global variables (it's no longer necessary to specify
the fully qualified name)

- updated support for all language options (e.g. -preview), these are
also forwarded to the DMD based code analysis

The full version history can be found at

Cheers,
Rainer
