Glad to announce the first beta for LDC 1.42, to sweeten your holidays! :) Some major changes: * Based on early D 2.112.0 (recent upstream stable). As it's been some time since v2.111, the number of changes is significantly higher than usual! * Support for LLVM 21. The prebuilt packages still use v20 for now. * New prebuilt package for Alpine Linux aarch64. * `ldc2.conf` can now be a directory. All the files inside it, ordered naturally, will be concatenated and treated like a big config. This enables simpler config extensions (e.g., for cross-compilation targets) by adding files instead of modifying a file. This feature comes with breaking CMake changes. * Breaking change for dcompute: The special ` kernel` UDA is now a function and requires parentheses. Full release log and downloads: https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/releases/tag/v1.42.0-beta1 Please help test, and thanks to all contributors & sponsors!
