Glad to announce LDC 1.33.0. Major changes:

• Based on D 2.103.1.
• New CLI option -femit-local-var-lifetime to enable stack memory reuse.
• C files are now automatically preprocessed using the external C compiler.
• Less pedantic checks for conflicting C(++) function declarations ('Error: Function type does not match previously declared function with the same mangled name').
• New CLI option --fcf-protection to enable Intel's Control-Flow Enforcement Technology (CET).
• Experimental: --plugin now also accepts semantic analysis plugins (besides LLVM plugins). New tool ldc-build-plugin simplifies building such plugins.

Full release log and downloads: https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/releases/tag/v1.33.0

Thanks to all contributors & sponsors!

PS: Unfortunately no prebuilt Linux-AArch64 package to download for now; our CI provider is having issues.
