I don't understand why people keep saying that. Is it because people keep 
repeating that incorrect assumption that it's out-of-date? Or is it just that 
too many people have the impression that D has changed drastically since TDPL 
was released? Almost nothing in TDPL is out-of-date, and for the most part, 
the stuff that is out-of-date is out-of-date because it has never been 
implemented and not because something has changed.

If some of the stuff that's been discussed in the newsgroup gets implemented 
(e.g. getting rid of toString, opEquals, toHash, and opCmp from Object), then 
TDPL will over time become more out-of-date and more incorrect, but at this 
point, the main problem is the errata. I could see someone wanting a new 
addition that described features that have been added since then (e.g. UDAs), 
but that list is quite short. If anything, the problem with TDPL is that some 
of what it describes still hasn't been implemented yet, and that list is also 
quite short. It explicitly avoided discussing things that weren't considered a 
sure thing at the time, so it's largely still correct and relevant.

I really think that it's far too early for a new edition of TDPL. If we need 
more of anything, it's more online tutorials and articles on D, not a new 
edition of TDPL.
