I think it is mostly in a good state. There are a few errata and some 
unmentioned features because D is/was somewhat of a moving/improving

the implementation consistent with the specification in TDPL.

I don't think you need to be worried, just be prepared that a few code 
samples may not compile without minimal fixes.

Indeed. When I read it, I have found my time well spent. It is very well 
written.
