DUB 0.9.22 released

Mon Sep 22 08:03:44 PDT 2014

Hello,

I've been using dub for a short time only, but one thing I wish is an
easier way to create a project generating different targets (say, two
executables and three dynamic libraries). I was able to do something like
this using sub-packages, but couldn't find a way to generated all targets
in a single run. I wished to just say something like 'dub build' and have
all targets updated.

I don't know if this usage is in the scope of dub, nor do I know if it
would require any breaking change, but you asked for desired changes, so
here it is :-)

Cheers,

LMB

PS: I generally enjoy dub! Thanks a lot for it!
