The latest release of the D programming language focuses on enhanced Objective-C support, adding the ability to declare Objective-C protocols, as well as improvements throughout the compiler, libraries, and tools, according to the developers behind the language in a post.
The DLang team fixed the issue in which deprecation messages reported the source deep within the library and now developers will get a template instantiation trace as is common when finding errors. Also, the compiler will now raise an error whenever there are multiple declarations with more than one definition.
The latest release includes the new D reference compiler (DMD) as well as the beta release of the LLVM-based D compiler.
