Glad to announce LDC 1.19:

* Based on D 2.089.1+.
* LLVM upgraded to v9.0.1, incl. experimental AVR backend.
* New experimental prebuilt Android aarch64 package, including 
prebuilt x86_64 libs too. The Android armv7a package newly 
includes prebuilt i686 libs.
* Slight codegen improvements, incl. a breaking extern(D) ABI 
change for Posix x86[_64] targets, and dead branch elimination 
for if statements with constant condition (in the hopes of 
possibly increasing compilation speed).
* Fixed misc. CMake issues with some LLVM 9 configurations.
* Default Posix linker driver is now `cc` instead of `gcc`.
* Windows: Bundled MinGW-based libs upgraded to MinGW-w64 v7.0.0.

Awesome!!  With every release, LDC is becoming more and more my go-to D
compiler.  Big thanks to all involved in making this happen!

A linguistics professor was lecturing to his class one day.
"In English," he said, "A double negative forms a positive. In some
languages, though, such as Russian, a double negative is still a
negative. However, there is no language wherein a double positive can
form a negative."
A voice from the back of the room piped up, "Yeah, yeah."
