Glad to announce LDC 1.40.1. Major changes since v1.40.0:

• Based on D 2.110.0 final.
• LLVM for prebuilt packages bumped to v19.1.7.
• New prebuilt package for Alpine Linux x86_64 with musl libc.
• Revived dynamic-compile (JIT) functionality (formerly unsupported since LLVM 12), supporting LLVM 18+ now.
• Initial compiler and runtime support for ppc64 and ppc64le systems that use the IEEE 754R 128-bit floating-point format.
• Initial support for Windows on ARM64. The prebuilt Windows multilib package/installer bundles prebuilt arm64 druntime and Phobos; cross-compiling works out of the box via -mtriple=aarch64-windows-msvc.

Very cool to see dynamic-compile functionality is back. I'm assuming this is the same information as found here: https://forum.dlang.org/post/bskpxhrqyfkvaqzoospx@forum.dlang.org

Yes, just using a different LLVM API now. I guess that post is still the best overview on the topic; also see the tests in https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/tree/master/tests/dynamiccompile.
