I've released a hot fix yesterday and now it works with latest 
DUB tag (0.9.25).

But registering from the project that's loaded was already 
working yesterday. I think that you have forgotten to choose the 
right configuration to compile, example with serial-port:

- open the dub json
- to the left, the DUB inspector: the green arrow must be on a 
config that's dedicated to build the library
- double click to select a config
- compile the project
- to the bottom library manager: click the icon with a book and 
link on the top
