Glad to announce the first beta for LDC 1.13:
* Based on D 2.083.0.
* The Windows packages are now fully self-sufficient, i.e., a

anymore.
Very cool! And very scary too, we'll have to verify the
transcendantal precision and memcpy performance :)
Don't worry, we're not using anything from the MinGW runtime
itself - just functions exported by the MS DLLs and some
minimal startup/shutdown skeleton (`mainCRTStartup` entrypoint
etc.). We (incl. DMD) are just using their .def files as basis
for the generated import libraries.
I don't understand, llvm_exp for example translate to a call to
the C stdlib exp() IIRC. That is currently in the MS runtime, no?
