Glad to announce the first beta for LDC 1.38. Major changes:

  • Based on D 2.108.0+ (yesterday's DMD stable).
  • Support for LLVM 18; the prebuilt packages use v18.1.3.
  • Android: Switch to native ELF TLS, supported since API level 29 (Android v10), dropping our former custom TLS emulation (requiring a modified LLVM and a legacy ld.bfd linker). The prebuilt packages themselves require Android v10+ (armv7a) / v11+ (aarch64) too, and are built with NDK r26d. Shared druntime and Phobos libraries are now available (-link-defaultlib-shared), as on regular Linux.

Full release log and downloads: https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/releases/tag/v1.38.0-beta1

Please help test, and thanks to all contributors & sponsors!

I shared that on Discord.

This is something I've been looking forward to for a long time!

Thanks!!!!

Today has sure been a good day.
