Suggest to say this instead:

GDB now supports debugging programs written in the D programming
language.

The ChangeLog entry should include the name(s) of node(s) added to the
manual.

Please remove the @cindex entry from here. You already have one in
the section where the D support is described; having another identical
index entry pointing here, where D is not described at all, is not
useful. The index entries are for readers who are looking for a
description of some specific subject, so they should point to the place
where that subject is described in full.

Suggest to add "compilers" to the end of this sentence. Also, please
leave two spaces between sentences.

Please use "---" (3 dashes in a row) to produce an em-dash.

Okay with those changes.

Thanks.
