Great!  Good to see ddmd being pushed out the door soon.  Can you report on the latest performance compared to the last C++ frontend?

Sorry for being a little late with these:

There is a typo in the windows installer which might cause troubles when installing on top of the Windows 10 SDK (and VS detection is skipped with /f): https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/installer/pull/159

I just closed two bug reports regarding installation against VS2015. Will these still show up in the changelog? Probably better to add a small section regarding support for VS2015: https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/druntime/pull/1418

Thanks, the fix will be in the final release. http://dlang.org/changelog/2.069.0.html#link-against-vs2015.

- https://github.com/etcimon/libasync/issues/41
- https://github.com/msoucy/dproto/issues/58
- https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15253

trying to compile for x64:

import std.stdio;
int main(string[] argv){
    writeln("Hello D-World!");
    return 0;
}

produces:
LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'libucrtd.lib'

it does work/link for x86

This is not dmd's fault, but Visual D's, because it invokes link.exe explicitely, not through dmd. It only uses dmd if you disable "overwrite sc.ini" and "monitor link dependencies" in the global settings.

The next version of Visual D will support linking against VS2015 libraries, I hope I can publish a beta in the next couple of days.
