Hi,

Here is what I've learned:

- use VS 2015 preferably,
- since a while the stock LDC package work as is, nothing to 
configure,
- use PATH and --compiler=ldc2 or --compiler=path/to/compiler.exe 
to tell dub where LDC is (separate packages for 32-bit and 
64-bit),
- to avoid a dependency on the VS 2015 runtime, add the following 
linker flags:

"lflags-windows-ldc": [
         "libcmt.lib",
         "/nodefaultlib:msvcrt.lib",
         "/nodefaultlib:vcruntime.lib"
     ],

- executables made with LDC are not supported on XP and Vista, 
but seem to work regardless :)

LDC has been splendid for a long while. This release is in some sense
nothing special. However, as we all know, moving from 0.x.y to 1.x.y
holds a special place in the minds of people not already aware of a
product. Now we can promote D in places it had not been promotable
before because of the Version 1 effect.

Well done to Kai, David, and everyone who has contributed to LDC over
the years for making the product.

LDC is really stable for quite some time. I felt that the 0.xx 
version scheme was no longer appropriate. E.g. many companies 
still consider a 0.xx version as not production ready. I raised 
the topic on the newsgroup. Outcome of the discussion was that 
the first version based on the frontend written in D should be 
version 1.0. (This is a major milestone.)

In this sense there is nothing special about this version. We 
tried to make it the best LDC version ever - but we have this 
goal for every LDC release.

Kai

Because they wanted to. It is major exactly because they have said it
is no longer 0.x.y but 1.x.y. Using the usual (albeit fatuous) manager
thing that 0.x.y is not ready for production but 1.x.y is: LDC has been
production ready for ages, the team have now said that this is so.=C2=A0
