What's left for 1.0?

[bobef]

I haven't been programming (for fun) for many months now and I decided 
to see what is happening to D and I see it will be called 1.0 soon. Many 
bugs fixed in the cangelog, so I decided to give it a try. Maybe even 
update rulesPlayer...

Thread.getThis inside dynamically linked DLL still causes access 
violation. I brought up this long time ago but no attention was payed...
I don't remember any details now but when I was dealing with the problem 
  I dug deeper cause it was a real show stopper for me... So I really 
wouldn't call the DMD's DLL support 'decent'. I don't know if this will 
be ever fixed so lets hope for DDL :D

struct point p={1,2}; is still not 
working!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is shocking for so advanced 
language! (I saw this was discussed but whatever I give my support on 
this point)


Wish you the best guys.
