Glad to announce LDC 1.41. Major changes:

• Based on D 2.111.0+.
• Support for LLVM 20; the prebuilt packages use v20.1.5.
• macOS: Fix programs crashing on startup on macOS v15.4.
• Keep frame pointers by default with -O for some targets, analogous to clang. This fixes druntime backtraces with optimized code (incl. prebuilt druntime/Phobos).
• The prebuilt (non-musl) Linux packages are now generated on Ubuntu 22.04; the minimum glibc version has accordingly been raised from v2.31 to v2.35.
• Reworked integration of the LLVM compiler-rt libraries. Package maintainers may want to see docs/compiler_rt.md.

Thanks to all contributors & sponsors!

Fantastic. Thanks you Martin.

Any specific reason to bump glibc / Ubuntu in prebuild binaries? (does gcc there is too old or something?)

The previously used Ubuntu 20 reached its end-of-standard-support in May, so Ubuntu 22 is the newly used LTS for the prebuilt glibc-Linux packages, for the next ~2 years.
