Glad to announce LDC 1.40.1. Major changes since v1.40.0:

* Based on D 2.110.0 final.
* LLVM for prebuilt packages bumped to v19.1.7.
* New prebuilt package for Alpine Linux x86_64 with musl libc.
* Revived dynamic-compile (JIT) functionality (formerly 
unsupported since LLVM 12), supporting LLVM 18+ now.
* Initial compiler and runtime support for ppc64 and ppc64le 
systems that use the IEEE 754R 128-bit floating-point format.
* Initial support for Windows on ARM64. The prebuilt Windows 
multilib package/installer bundles prebuilt arm64 druntime and 
Phobos; cross-compiling works out of the box via 
`-mtriple=aarch64-windows-msvc`.

Full release log and downloads: 
https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/releases/tag/v1.40.1

Thanks to all contributors & sponsors!

Very cool to see dynamic-compile functionality is back. I'm 
assuming this is the same information as found here:

Yes, just using a different LLVM API now. I guess that post is 
still the best overview on the topic; also see the tests in 
https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/tree/master/tests/dynamiccompile.
