The biggest highlight in this release for C++ users like myself
is a
huge amount of work relating to extern(C++). I think this is the
biggest step forward since it was introduced in 2012.
Mixed-language class hierarchies are now supported, and a whole
raft
of long-standing ABI issues have been worked out, making
construction
and destruction semantics compatible between languages.
No more work-arounds for virtual destructors, or factory-style
'create' functions are required.
It's still an amazing progress! Thank you!!
I was planning to make this change to the release notes before
the
next release, but I had no idea a release was imminent.
Are there announcements ahead of the release branch being
tagged?

Anyway, if we could see that those patches are integrated into
2.081, that'd be very excellent.
Targeting stable and getting it merged before the final 2.081
release (in two weeks) should be all you need.
(The beta release announcement [1] would be updated too, but as
it probably will be regenerated over the course of the beta
period and will be removed once the beta period is over, it's not
that important.)
