Rootin Tootin 0.2.0 Release

During the end-of-the-year-shopping-season, I spent a few days working on getting the 0.2 release of Rootin Tootin out. For those of you that don’t know what Rootin Tootin is: It is a fast RESTful web framework and server written in D. Just think of it as a new framework that is designed to be as easy to use as Ruby on Rails, while improving on it.

There are tons of new features listed in the changelog. Some highlights are: Sessions work correctly. Flash messages are working too, thanks to sessions. File downloads work. Performance is greatly improved (although nowhere near where it should be). We moved from GPL v2 to GPL v3. And my favorite: Everything is automatically rebuilt when files change. So you no longer have to stop the server, build, and restart when you make code changes. For the complete list of changes, you can checkout the news.

Now I need to write a tutorial, and some documentation. Some more detail on how Rootin Tootin is different from Rails would be good too.
