This Week in D

Welcome to This Week in D! Each week, we'll summarize what's been going on in the D community and write brief advice columns to help you get the most out of the D Programming Language.
The D Programming Language is a general purpose programming language that offers modern convenience, modeling power, and native efficiency with a familiar C-style syntax.

D 2.068 Released
D 2.068.0 was released last Monday.
A notable change in packaging also occurred that missed the changelog - the .zip now only has the files for one particular OS; there are separate .zip files for each OS. The directory layout is unchanged though, so if you need multiple OS binaries, you can simply download both zips to the same place and unzip them on top of each other. Then, it will work the same way as the old ones.
