The 1.0 release will be a major milestone. Please help testing to make it the best release ever!

Just a note for Pi 2 and 3 owners running Raspian.  Even though Raspian defaults to armv6, the LDC 1.0.0-beta1 binary for armv7 can be used with a little symlinking:

$ cd /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/
$ ln -s libedit.so libedit.so.0

LDC works great for Pi 1 too, but being armv6, Pi 1 owners will need to bootstrap by downloading and building ldc ltsmaster branch (C++ version).  I suppose at some point, Raspian will have this version of LDC available with apt-get.

Using a recent build of LDC I was able to build EMSI's core data processing library and get it to pass all of its tests.

It also seems to handle DCD and D-Scanner correctly now.

Just tried and now fails to find "libconfig.so.8" on Travis-CI (worked for alpha1):

Why does it requires libconfig.so.8? Could you static link it?

>From the github issue it appears it was just a issue with the build script.

It's a bug. See https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/issues/1460.
(Hopefully fixed now.)
