Glad to announce the first beta for the 2.107.0 release, ♥ to the 
35 contributors.

This release comes with 9 major changes and 52 fixed Bugzilla 
issues, including:
- Unrecognized pragmas are no longer an error, but instead simply 
ignored.
- Added ` core.attribute.standalone` for shared static module 
constructors.
- In D runtime, a new module `core.stdc.stdatomic` has been 
implemented.

Thanks as always.

Since 2023 was a year of language stabilization and bug fixes, it 
might be good for someone to do a blog post on what was 
accomplished. Even something short and simple would be good.

Also, I saw this in the change log and it might need to get 
revised:

"If you do not care about code generation quality should the 
aliases to the function names not exist, you may append _impl to 
get at the implementation."

 Top-level win{32,64}.mak and legacy src/win{32,64}.mak files 
 (for DigitalMars make) have been removed altogether. The 
 generic top-level Makefile works on Windows too - with a GNU 
 make (and a git installation providing bash and GNU tools).

Wow!

 ** standalone** is a new attribute that can be used to mark 
 module constructors that run after druntime has been 
 initialized, but do not depend on any other module constructors 
 being run before it, so it will not cause a cyclic dependency 
 error.

Nice!!
