It has come to my attention that the project ownership of dub
changed hands a few years ago to Mathias Lang from Sönke Ludwig.
No announcement occurred at the time, which is a governance
failure, so I get to do it.
Over the last couple of years, Mathias has made many improvements
to dub; here are some highlights:
- Better error messages (pkg-config)
- Housekeeping tasks to keep the CI happy
- Improved performance i.e. GC usage
- dub fetch supports multiple arguments, recursive fetch, and is
more project-aware
- Remove support for OMF
So I want to thank Sönke for his prior work on dub, and
congratulate Mathias on his prior and continuing work in
maintaining dub!
Me and Nic will soon begin work to triage the existing PR's and
bug reports over the coming days to try and get the development
experience of contributing to a dlang repository more in line
with expectations.
