Tue, 03 Jun 2014The "vibe.web.web" web interface generator module has been extended with some important features, making it a full replacement (and more) of the old registerFormInterface() functionality. Other important changes include the use of strong TLS ciphers out of the box, as well as a heavily optimized URLRouter implementation and support for compile-time localization of Diet templates.

Wed, 09 Apr 2014Apart from working on the latest DMD versions, this release includes an important security enhancement in the form of new experimental code for SSL certificate validation. Other major changes include many improvements to the Diet template compiler, various performance improvements, a new FileDescriptorEvent to interface with other I/O libraries, a new web interface generator similar to the REST interface generator, many improvements to the Redis client, and a bunch of other fixes and additions.

Thu, 20 Feb 2014A new tutorial channel for D has been started recently by Simen Endsjø and Rikki Cattermole. It contains beginner friendly step-by-step introductions to everything from system setup to the language ecosystem and the language itself, including an example of using DUB and vibe.d.

Tue, 26 Nov 2013The new release adds support for DMD 2.064 and contains an impressive number of almost 90 additions and bug fixes. Some notable improvements are a better serialization system, reworked WebSocket support, native MongoDB query sorting support and vastly improved stability of the HTTP client and other parts of the system.

Mon, 09 Sep 2013This release fixes compiling on DMD 2.063.2 and DMD HEAD and performs a big API cleanup by removing a lot of deprecated functionality and deprecating some additional symbols. New is also a better task local storage support, a SyslogLogger class and a number of smaller additions and bug fixes.

Wed, 26 Jun 2013This release finally features support for DMD 2.063. It also contains two breaking changes by removing support for the "vibe" script (aka VPM) and switching to an implicit task ownership model for streams (no more explicit acquire/release). It requires DUB 0.9.15 or later to build.

Tue, 18 Jun 2013Vladimir Panteleev aka CyberShadow has held a great talk about web development in D on this year's D conference. A large chunk of it was about vibe.d, but also other interesting projects in the area.

Sat, 27 Apr 2013This release cleans up the API in several places (sheduling some symbols for deprecation) and largely improves the multi-threading primitives. It also features initial support for Win64 and a revamped logging system, as well as authentication support for the MongoDB client and a lot of smaller enhancements.

Fri, 22 Mar 2013A lot has been improved on the performance and multi-threading front. The HTTP server benchmark jumped from around 17k req/s up to 48k req/s on a certain quad-core test system and >10k connections can now be handled at the same time (on 64-bit systems due to virtual memory requirements).

Sun, 24 Feb 2013This releases some issues with the HttpClient in conjunction with SSL connection and contains a lot of cleaning up. Many modules and symbols have been deprecated or renamed to streamline the API and reduce redundant functionality with Phobos.
