I never really *finished* Derelict 2. The only thing holding me 
back from declaring it so was the lack of documentation. I just 
never got around to doing it. After support for D1 was announced 
to be going away, and given that most D projects had moved over 
to github and that DSource was pretty much dead, I decided to 
leave everything there as it is and start anew with a D2-only 
version on github. I did leave a note about it on the project 
page at DSource.

I have a disclaimer in the Derelict 3 readme that it's an alpha, 
but that's to cover my ass when errors are found. I do everything 
mostly by hand, with a couple of very specific custom scripts to 
make it a little bit easier (which, now that I think about it, I 
no longer have after my format disaster a few weeks back). So 
copy-paste errors and whatnot crop up from time to time. But it's 
very much in a usable state. Most of the time, it just works. I'm 
always open to ideas to make it easier to work with, though. Once 
it's been in usage for a bit longer and I've got some docs to go 
with it, I'll be ready to call it gold.

Currently you can use OpenGL two ways in Derelict 3. The 
preferred way is to import the gl3 module to get only the core 
functions. I also provide a gl module that can be used instead to 
get everything, including the deprecated stuff.
