Glad to announce the first beta for LDC 1.38. Major changes:
- Based on D 2.108.0+ (yesterday's DMD stable).
- Support for LLVM 18; the prebuilt packages use v18.1.3.
- Android: Switch to native ELF TLS, supported since API level 29 (Android v10), dropping our former custom TLS emulation (requiring a modified LLVM and a legacy ld.bfd linker). The prebuilt packages themselves require Android v10+ (armv7a) / v11+ (aarch64) too, and are built with NDK r26d. Shared druntime and Phobos libraries are now available (
-link-defaultlib-shared
), as on regular Linux.
