Master is now at frontend level 2.069.2

Hi everyone! I merged the merge-2.069 branch into master right now. We are approaching the next release very fast! Because the frontend is now written in D we Need a D Compiler to bootstrap. I moved the previous master to branch ltsmaster. This is the branch where we continue to maintain the C++ based version of LDC (release 0.17.x). Have fun! Regards, Kai

I assume best practice for changes intended for both ltsmaster and master, do pull-request to ltsmaster first, then later merge into master? I am thinking of my latest arm-linux changes. And "ltsmaster" - what does "lts" stand for? -- Dan

Right, I copied the Ubuntu term. I did not want to include a version number and chose this generic term. Regards, Kai

Hi Dan!

This is the process we need to follow. All target architecture relevant changes (ARM, AArch64, etc.), LLVM updates and maybe bug fixes (#1224, #1292) should be developed first for ltsmaster.

Kai

All target architecture relevant changes (ARM, AArch64, etc.), LLVM updates and maybe bug fixes (#1224, #1292) should be developed first for ltsmaster. Isn't the opposite usually done? Develop something for master, and backport to LTS ? (perhaps less chance of introducing something bad in LTS?)

Thanks. It is the team which is doing the work behind the scenes. I currently only create the releases and write the announcements... Regards, Kai

Yes, next version will be 1.0. This was discussed earlier in this forum. The move to the D based frontend is a major milestone for this project. Given the current shape of the project and the development activity right now, we are really ready for a 1.0 version. :-) Regards, Kai
