http://dlang.org/changelog/2.073.0.html#mscrtlib-option
How can I set this flag in dub.json? I tried:
"dflags": [ "-mscrt=msvcrt" ]
but got error:
Error: unrecognized switch '-mscrt=msvcrt'

Ouch, the switch is actually called -mscrtlib. We need to fix the 
documentation...

Thanks! Now it's compile.

What version of cruntime (I tried: libcmtd, msvcrt msvcrtd) I 
should use to prevent depending my project on `msvcr120.dll`. Now 
when I try run vibed-based project on another PC it's give me 
error about absent `msvcr120.dll`.

If you just want a single executable, the default (libcmt) is good 
enough. It adds the C runtime as a static library in the link step.

The DLL version of the C runtime is used with msvcrt and msvcrtd (the 
latter is the debug version). This is usually needed if the executable 
passes memory or other resources to other DLLs. Microsoft recommends to 
install the redistributable package in that case, e.g.

I already tried it, but app is still require msvcr120.dll when 
run it's on another PC.

About the new -mscrt=libname flag. Could we have a more generic name of 
the flag that would fit for other platforms to specify the C library, 
i.e. Musl instead of GNU? Or is this something different?

It seems sufficiently different to not worry about a Win only 
switch, it's used for selecting different flavours of MS libcrt 
(threaded, debug...).
IMO we should try to depart with hard-coding linker flags into 
the compiler.
We had some ideas to make the config file more flexible.

Fair enough.

Thanks a lot for the RC. I think the text "to be released Jan 18, 
2017" can be removed since its slightly confusing.

The changelog is missing an entry to the new default Ddoc theme. I'll 
see if I can add that. Do we want an image, HTML page or something to show?
