Great!  Good to see ddmd being pushed out the door soon.  Can you 
report on the latest performance compared to the last C++ 
frontend?

Sorry for being a little late with these:

There is a typo in the windows installer which might cause troubles when 
installing on top of the Windows 10 SDK (and VS detection is skipped 
with /f): https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/installer/pull/159

I just closed two bug reports regarding installation against VS2015. 
Will these still show up in the changelog? Probably better to add a 
small section regarding support for VS2015: 
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/druntime/pull/1418

This is not dmd's fault, but Visual D's, because it invokes link.exe 
explicitely, not through dmd. It only uses dmd if you disable "overwrite 
sc.ini" and "monitor link dependencies" in the global settings.

The next version of Visual D will support linking against VS2015 
libraries, I hope I can publish a beta in the next couple of days.
