This was discussed earlier on the Code::Blocks forum, too:

It should still "work" with D and GDC, but will need to be
developed and extended further to better support D2 and DMD.

Basically the first step is to introduce a "D" language,
since it currently only knows C/C++... (The D support is
treating itself like a "strange variant of a C++ compiler")
Then write lexing/codecompletion/wizard code to handle it.
