Glad to announce an exciting LDC 1.21 release - some highlights: * Based on D 2.091.1+; LLVM upgraded to v10.0.0. * Experimental iOS/arm64 support - all druntime/Phobos unittests pass, thanks Jacob! The prebuilt macOS package supports cross-compilation out of the box, just add `-mtriple=arm64-apple-ios12.0` (ldc2/ldmd2) or `--arch=arm64-apple-ios12.0` (dub). * Initial support for GCC/GDC-style inline assembly syntax, primarily for portability across GDC and LDC (and GCC-style C). * Android improvements, incl. an important fix for x86 architectures, usability of the ld.gold linker, no more D main() requirement and reduced .so sizes. * Important AArch64 bugfix, especially for unoptimized code. Full release log and downloads: https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/releases/tag/v1.21.0 Thanks to all contributors!

It turned out to be a bit more work because I didn't consider I would need to port parts of phobos as well. I then set a new deadline in March. Covid-19 happened and my wife and I have been homeschooling our kids in-between work. I haven't been able to find a lot of time to work on this. The druntime and phobos test-runners both compile, and I am using whatever spare time I have to fix or disable any tests that fail. Once that is done, I will open up PR's to both upstream repos. I do expect some discussions on that front so it probably won't be a one-day deal. After that there will be a little celebration since I have already have a PR to update LDC's CI to create prebuild releases.
