Glad to announce LDC 1.12:

* Based on D 2.082.1.
* Support for LLVM 7, which is used for the prebuilt packages.
  Due to an LLVM 7.0.0 regression, the prebuilt x86[_64] LDC binaries
  require a CPU with SSSE3.
* LTO working for Win64 targets.
* IR-based PGO working for Windows targets.
* New, Easy::jit-like interface for dynamic/JIT compilation.
* Experimental support for Android/x86_64.

Full release log and downloads: https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/releases/tag/v1.12.0

Thanks to all contributors!

I'm not familiar with Easy::jit. Would it make sense to do some kind of simple tutorial? Or maybe blog post?

I'm also interested in the new JIT. I found some useful links

- LLVM based C++ JIT library https://github.com/jmmartinez/easy-just-in-time
- LDC's doc https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/tree/master/docs
- LDC's some simple test snippets https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/blob/master/tests/dynamiccompile/simple.d

I'm a little confused about using the jit in run.dlang.org (copying that simple example over). It doesn't seem to work (adding assert(0); as the first line after main does nothing)...maybe that's because it is using rldc?
