Final Update
Sat, 01 Nov 2014 15:30:00 -0700
Hi, I'm writing this to make it official, dprogramming.com will no longer have any updates. I'll be archiving the content and leaving it up as long as possible for historical reasons.
dprogramming.com was the home of some of my D projects. It was started so long ago when the web was a different place and I was still fairly new to the game.
D was once an obsession and pleasure of mine, but I've since moved on. The D community is very smart and I wish them the best. I certainly have learned a lot from them. Since I'm no longer using D, the languages that have my interest at the moment are Lua and Rust.
To make it clear and allow code forking, I hereby release DFL and Entice Designer source code under dual licenses: boost and/or zlib/libpng, for the versions which were released on dprogramming.com. Please see the GUI Libraries wiki page for DFL forks.
Thank you,
- Christopher E. Miller
