Glad to announce LDC 1.11:
* Based on D 2.081.2.
* Prebuilt packages now using LLVM 6.0.1 and including
additional cross-compilation targets (MIPS, MSP430, RISC-V and
WebAssembly).
* Rudimentary support for compiling & linking directly to
WebAssembly. See the dedicated Wiki page [1] for how to get
started.
* AArch64 (64-bit ARM) now mostly working on Linux/glibc and
Android.
* Some support for classes without TypeInfos, for -betterC
and/or a minimal (d)runtime.

Thanks to all contributors!

Since this is the first ldc release with a mostly working 64-bit
ARM, ie AArch64, port, I've put up ldc builds for linux/AArch64
and Android. You can get the linux build at the github link
above; the Android build is available from the Termux app in the
Android store, by running `pkg install ldc`:

You can see what else remains to be done for the AArch64 port by
looking at the logs from the linux/AArch64 Shippable CI linked
from the github release and the checklist in this ldc tracking
issue:
https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/issues/2153
I've added info on how to cross-compile a D runtime and standard
library for linux/AArch64 to the wiki:
https://wiki.dlang.org/Building_LDC_runtime_libraries#Usage_for_cross-compilation
I've also started updating the wiki on how to build Android apps
in D for 64-bit ARM devices.
