You can also use "glad":

Supporting every OpenGL version/configuration you want. 
Furthermore supporting complete WGL/EGL/GLX (if you want). All 
you need is Python to generate your OpenGL  loader you want, or 
you simply take the already generated ones: 
https://github.com/Dav1dde/glad/tree/d

So far glad is used by myself, a few guys from #OpenGL (using the 
C loader) and there are also a few D users.

Why glad over Derelict? Always up to date, 100% spec conform, not 
so "fat", only generates what you need. E.g. I am using here a 
glad loader 
https://github.com/Dav1dde/BraLa/tree/master/src/d/glad/glad/gl 
with a 4.4 OpenGL core profile with only the anisotropic 
extension loaded.

There are a few things still on my todo: e.g. the open issue, or 
lazy loading, or generating debug functions or lazy loading, 
patches welcome ;).
