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

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...
How does one keep on using Microsoft's linker? I've tried lld on
Linux and while some binaries ran fine, others crashed. I don't
trust it all right now.
