We present the leptonic decay constants f{sub D{sub s}} and f{sub D{sup +}} computed on the MILC collaboration's 2+1 flavor asqtad gauge ensembles. We use clover heavy quarks with the Fermilab interpretation and improved staggered light quarks. The simultaneous chiral and continuum extrapolation, which determines both decay constants, includes partially-quenched lattice results at lattice spacings a {approx} 0.09, 0.12 and 0.15 fm. We have made several recent improvements in our analysis: (a) we include terms in the fit describing leading order heavy-quark discretization effects, (b) we have adopted a more precise input r{sub 1} value consistent with our other D and B meson studies, (c) we have retuned the input bare charm masses based upon the new r{sub 1}. Our preliminary results are f{sub D{sub s}} = 260 {+-} 10 MeV and f{sub D{sup +}} = 217 {+-} 10 MeV.
