Hi everyone!

On behalf of the LDC team I am proud to announce the new 0.17.0 
release!
It is based on the 2.068.2 front-end and LLVM 3.5-3.8.

This release is known to work on several Linux architectures, 
Windows 64bit, FreeBSD and Solaris. The compiler now supports 
NetBSD and has improved support for OpenBSD and DragonFly, too - 
though runtime support for these three BSD flavours is still 
missing.
We worked on many internal refactorings, including preparation 
for a Win32 compiler. Thanks to the whole team doing this great 
work.

A special thanks goes to Rainer for the work on the Win32 
compiler. A PREVIEW version of this compiler is also made 
available.

LDC already supports the new LLVM 3.8 release which is scheduled 
for end of February.

Be sure to read the change log at the GitHub release page which 
also has the package download links:
https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/releases/tag/v0.17.0

Due to an upload issue with GitHub there is no GZip-compressed 
archive for OS X.

Regarding the binaries:
The Linux binaries are built on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS with gcc 4.8.x 
and LLVM 3.7.1. They work on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (or later) without 
installing additional software.

The OS X binaries are built with LLVM 3.6.2 on OS X 10.10.

The Win64 MSVC version is built with VS2015 using LLVM 3.7.1 in 
release mode. The distribution now contains a precompiled libcurl 
7.46.0 from http://d.darktech.org/libcurl.html. For any other 
VisualStudio version you need to rebuild the library.
You find the build script here: 
https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc-scripts/blob/master/ldc2-win64/RELEASE.proj

The Win32 MSVC version is built with VS2015 using LLVM 3.8.0rc2 
in release mode. It incoporates ldc/pull/1168 and 
druntime/pull/54. Please note that this is a PREVIEW version only.

Please be sure to report any bugs at 
https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/issues, and feel free to 
drop by at the digitalmars.D.ldc forums 
(http://forum.dlang.org/group/digitalmars.D.ldc) for any 
questions or comments.

Thanks to everybody involved in making this happen!

Onward to 1.0!

Regards,
Kai

None of the current D compilers promise ABI compatibility between 
compiler versions.

I tried this:

no errors for me. what exactly triggered the problem for you?

$ dub build --compiler=ldmd2 --build-mode=singleFile

The determined compiler type "ldc" doesn't match the expected 
type "dmd". This will probably result in build errors.

dub.json has these options beyond what the generated config

},

Hi Thomas!

I get exactly the same error with dmd 2.069 using the command 
line here (replaced ldmd2 with dmd). Please file a bug report for 
DMD. Thanks.
