as I can. Tanya uses an external

list of open issues that mirror the current development process and progress. If you're looking for a challenge, just
pick an issue you are interested in and start working on it. Fill free to comment on the issue to get more
information.
Some issues have a category assigned to them. Such issues belong mostly to a larger part of the library that is
currently in development. The category specifies then the git branch development happens on. The remaining issues
can be fixed directly in master.
In the [roadmap](https://issues.caraus.io/projects/tanya/roadmap) you can find a list of issues that are planned
to be fixed till a specific release. Version numbers refer to the versions in the
[git repository](https://github.com/caraus-ecms/tanya/releases).
You can also look at the [milestones](https://github.com/Dlackware/gnome/milestones) to see what is planned for a
specific release.

### Fixing a bug
Add an unittest that demonstrates the bug along with a short description:
```d
// Issue ###: https://issues.caraus.io/issues/###.
private unittest
{
}
```
Add a unit test that demonstrates the bug along with a short description or link to the original bug.
### Adding new features
* Use Ddoc to document the feature.
* Add some unittests that prevent new bugs and demonstrate how the feature is supposed to work.
* Add some unit tests to prevent bugs.
* [Documented D unit tests](https://dlang.org/spec/ddoc.html#using_ddoc_to_generate_examples) go into the documentation and can be used as an usage
example. These tests should be readable and not complicated since they demonstrate how the feature is supposed to work.
* More advanced tests should be put into a separate not documented unittest block.
### Writing unit tests
```d
///
unittest
{
// A documented unit test has three slashes in front of it.
}
// Issue ##: https://github.com/caraus-ecms/tanya/issues/##.
unittest
{
// Not documented unit test may still have a description.
}
```
### Style guide
Make sure your changes follow [The D Style](https://dlang.org/dstyle.html) (including
[Additional Requirements for Phobos](https://dlang.org/dstyle.html#phobos).
[Additional Requirements for Phobos](https://dlang.org/dstyle.html#phobos)).
You can also use [dscanner](https://github.com/dlang-community/D-Scanner) to test the new code against the
most guidlines. The root of this repository contains
[dscanner.ini](https://github.com/caraus-ecms/tanya/blob/master/dscanner.ini), configuration file with settings for an
automatic style check. Just go to the top-level directory and issue (this assumes `dscanner` is installed in your
system):
```shell
dscanner --styleCheck source
