This release is fantastic!
In the change log information about lld linker is missing. Maybe you can
add
some info how to use it instead of link.exe (the OMF one).
Kind regards
André
LLD does not replace the OMF linker, but the MS linker for COFF.
The Windows installer also comes with platform libraries built from the
mingw definitions and a wrapper library for the VC distributable C
runtime libraries. This allows using dmd with -m64 and -m32mscoff
without having to install Visual Studio, the VC build tools or the
Windows SDK.
I'll add a PR for the changelog...
