This release comes with more efficient update functions for associative
arrays, unsafe code in debug blocks, UDAs for function parameters, an
improved dependency resolution and avoidance of online update checks for

Seems like they knew most artifacts within the installer by now,
scanning for the submitted binary was a lot faster than last time.
I guess we should keep an eye on this for the next releases, could you
take care of this Mike?

Take care of what exactly?  What specifically needs to be done?

Testing Windows installation of at least the first beta and the 
actual release for whether Windows Defender et.al. try to scare 
away people.

after the beta i tried it again - just to be fair.

1.) install d, install visual d.
2.)trying to to look at options under visual d without a project 
crashes VS2017 - latest service pack.
3.)VS2017 - displays a problem on startup
4.)creating the dummy project - compile for x64. error something 
is missing.
5.) deinstall everything and wait for another year

this crap does not even work out of the box - what else is not 
tested in D?

With the Windows SDK, the Windows Universal C Runtime and the 
VC++ v14.15 installed with Visual Studio Installer, I can compile 
for x64. What does it say is missing ?

if i remember correctly (5.), it wants a different/other version 
of the tool chain.

again, since in earlier versions of D i eventually had to 
deinstall VS2017 and then reinstall it fresh. too much work.
btw, 1. was the only plugin i had.

Maybe check your environment variables for leftover entries from 
previous installations. Without a more concrete bug report it's 
hard to help you though, try https://issues.dlang.org/.
Also there is some initial work on an alternative toolchain based 
on lld and mingw import libs to avoid the heavy VS installation.

This makes D look so much more professional than having 
smartscreen warn you about a potential threat. This is probably 
the single best feature of this release IMO.

I found changes in std.math make some codes not working anymore

Is there any workaround to avoid this?

Please file a regression under https://issues.dlang.org/.
One workaround for now would be to initialize the variable at 
runtime, e.g.

```d
static double d;
shared static this() { d = exp(-1.0); }
```
