http://dlang.org/changelog/2.073.0.html#mscrtlib-option
How can I set this flag in dub.json? I tried:
"dflags": [ "-mscrt=msvcrt" ]
but got error:
Error: unrecognized switch '-mscrt=msvcrt'

About the new -mscrt=libname flag. Could we have a more generic name of the flag that would fit for other platforms to specify the C library, i.e. Musl instead of GNU? Or is this something different?

Thanks a lot for the RC. I think the text "to be released Jan 18, 2017" can be removed since its slightly confusing.

The changelog is missing an entry to the new default Ddoc theme. I'll see if I can add that. Do we want an image, HTML page or something to show?

It seems sufficiently different to not worry about a Win only switch, it's used for selecting different flavours of MS libcrt (threaded, debug...).
IMO we should try to depart with hard-coding linker flags into the compiler.
We had some ideas to make the config file more flexible.

Fair enough.

Ouch, the switch is actually called -mscrtlib. We need to fix the documentation...

Thanks! Now it's compile.

What version of cruntime (I tried: libcmtd, msvcrt msvcrtd) I should use to prevent depending my project on `msvcr120.dll`. Now when I try run vibed-based project on another PC it's give me error about absent `msvcr120.dll`.
