Hi everyone,

on behalf of the LDC team, I'm glad to announce the first beta 
for LDC 1.6. The highlights of this version in a nutshell:

* Based on D 2.076.1.
* Experimental support for dynamic codegen at runtime ('manual 
JIT').
* Many std.math functions are now CTFE-able.

Full release log and downloads: 
https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/releases/tag/v1.6.0-beta1

Thanks to all contributors!

Wow, that's fast!

I'm looking forward to discussions concerning the new feature:

     dynamic codegen at runtime

Are there any plans on also using LLVMs jit for run-time 
generative (meta) programming?

Fast update, thank you!

Yeah. Apparently if your on FreeBSD, you're meant to go build it 
yourself :-(

Not sure why.

Win32 gets a binary release though ;-)

I explained why, the last time we put out a stable release for 
FreeBSD, ldc 1.2, it only got 4 downloads:

http://www.somsubhra.com/github-release-stats/?username=ldc-developers&repository=ldc

By comparison, the Win32 build got 282 downloads.  Presumably 
that's why whoever was compiling those FreeBSD builds stopped 
bothering.

Fair enough.

4 is better than 0 though.

And, you never know, that could have been 4 large enterprises ;-)
(plenty of large enterprise use FreeBSD).

Now it's getting no downloads at all.

Have you thought of automatically build and upload packages using Travis CI?

That would be a good idea. Also, I uploaded the OS X package just 
now. (Didn't realise it wasn't built yet…). —David

Here's the Travis CI script for one of my projects [1] that uploads to a 
GitHub release, both for Linux and macOS.

Working on that. It's not that simple though; we use a custom 
LLVM, which Travis doesn't manage to build alone in a dedicated 
job (only ~66% before timing out). Luckily, there's AppVeyor and 
CircleCI which manage. So I need to finish automating the LLVM 
release before automating the LDC release.

Hmm, I would need to do that as well for DStep :(. That's disappointing. 
Would caching help [1]? I've also though about using Docker, which could 
contain a pre-built, perhaps that's more complicated.

I see.
