Hi everyone!

The first beta release of LDC release 0.13.0 is here! It is based on the 2.064.2 front-end and LLVM 3.1-3.4.1 (OS X: LLVM 3.2/3.4.1 only).

Please refer to the GitHub release page for the preliminary change log and the
package download links:
https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/releases/tag/v0.13.0-beta1

If there are no severe bugs found then I release this version as major release next week.

As always, the Win32/MinGW packages require a recent version of the mingw-w64 toolchain, see the (new) README file for details.

There is no Win64/MSVC package because I found a severe bug in the Win64/MSVC port.

Please be sure to report any bugs at
https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/issues, and feel free to drop by
at the digitalmars.D.ldc forums
(http://forum.dlang.org/group/digitalmars.D.ldc) for any questions or
comments.

Thanks to everybody involved in making this happen!

Regards,
Kai

Just WOW! Kudos!

064 too outdated.
Is there any chance that ldc will have version at least as dmd's one ?

Yes. The 2.065 version is already merged and I started to work on the test failures. Just try out the merge-2.065 branch. I release an alpha version as soon as I think it is stable enough.

The 2.064 based version is delayed because there were some hard to fix errors. But these errors were also present in the 2.065 base version so I had to fix them.

Any ETA for actual release?

I made an up-to-date RPM for openSUSE (based on D. MacVicar's version), if someone is interested:
