Glad to announce LDC 1.27 - some highlights:

  • Based on D 2.097.1+.
  • LLVM for prebuilt packages bumped to v12.0.1.
  • Prebuilt packages now bundle reggae for faster building of dub projects.
  • Greatly improved DLL support on Windows, including bundled druntime and Phobos DLLs, making it almost as easy as on Posix.
  • Prebuilt Linux and Mac packages can show significant compiler performance increases due to newly employing the mimalloc allocator.
  • Important fixes for -linkonce-templates, DWARF v5 (e.g. with linked-in C[++] parts compiled with gcc 11) and bundled dub supporting somewhat longer paths on Windows.

Full release log and downloads: https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/releases/tag/v1.27.0

Thanks to all contributors & sponsors!
