A string literal as an assert condition is deprecated

Glad to announce the first beta for the 2.107.0 release, ♥ to the 35 contributors.

This release comes with 9 major changes and 52 fixed Bugzilla issues, including:

• Unrecognized pragmas are no longer an error, but instead simply ignored.
• Added @core.attribute.standalone for shared static module constructors.
• In D runtime, a new module core.stdc.stdatomic has been implemented.

Glad to announce the first beta for the 2.107.0 release, ♥ to the 35 contributors.

Top-level win{32,64}.mak and legacy src/win{32,64}.mak files (for DigitalMars make) have been removed altogether. The generic top-level Makefile works on Windows too - with a GNU make (and a git installation providing bash and GNU tools).

@standalone is a new attribute that can be used to mark module constructors that run after druntime has been initialized, but do not depend on any other module constructors being run before it, so it will not cause a cyclic dependency error.
