Just noticed that the release binaries are missing from https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/releases/tag/v1.1.0-beta3

This means that the beta currently cannot be tested with TravisCI (wanted to test a DUB related regression fix).

Whoops, that's my bad :(
(I editted a little and clicked the "save draft" button which turned it into a draft again, I think)

Thanks for letting us know!
Fixed it.

I also updated LATEST_BETA, so `ldc-beta` on Travis should now automatically use 1.1.0-beta3.

:-) Unintentionally I did the same with the beta2 release.

How's the MS progress on PDB in LLVM?

I had this problem with `beta3` when compiling a vibe.d project.

Performing "release" build using /D/ldc2-1.1.0-beta3/bin/ldc2 for x86_64.

vibe-d:utils 0.7.30-rc.1: building configuration "library"...
Error: failed to create path to file: .dub/obj/../../.dub/packages/vibe-d-0.7.30-rc.1/vibe-d/.dub/build/library-release-linux.posix-x86_64-ldc_0-2530BD99F72930F46E92BF1D555FBB9A/libvibe-d_utils.a
No such file or directory

I went back to `beta2` and it worked.

Pretty good. See https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/issues/1716#issuecomment-252727032, there's a VS screenshot of the current state on Win64 with LLVM 3.9.

GitHub issues are much preferred over forum posts. For this particular one (breaking dub when outputting static libraries), we already have one: https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/issues/1819
