For example, Vadim Lopatin develops his DLangIDE in D language. I think we should add the links to the project pages containing donate hyperlink to https://dlang.org/donate.html page too. For example, https://github.com/buggins/dlangide contains donate link.

FWIW this year we may receive more student attention because our scholarship students at University Politehnica Bucharest and their advisors will "advertise" the projects. So let's make sure we get a good lineup of ideas. -- Andrei We also had somebody asking about it on IRC yesterday. So we're definitely getting some attention!

I see at the bottom of: https://github.com/dlang/druntime/pull/1708 "@klickverbot klickverbot deleted the stable branch 18 days ago" Yikes, indeed the stable branch was deleted and later recreated from a stale version (my local one IIRC). I did protect all stable branches for that to not happen again. Also I usually merge locally and make a PR from my own merge_stable branch. https://github.com/dlang/druntime/pull/1727 Also, https://github.com/dlang/druntime/pull/1715/ should be included IMO in addition to PR 1707. It's a bit unfortunate that PR creators w/o write access to a repo can't add milestones, or can they?

AFAIK, the only way to disable PIC for a specific build is to use a local dmd.conf that doesn't have -fPIC. Just a heads up because this might trip up (a small minority of) users (with weird use cases).

Sounds like a good idea :-) * New mechanism to link system dependencies: All system libraries needed by phobos (-ldl, -lrt, -latomic) are detected in the phobos ./configure script. The required dependencies are added to a libgphobos.spec file and installed along with the libgphobos.so/.a libraries. GDC then reads this file to detect the required libraries, so the libraries are no longer hard coded in GDC. Note for distribution packagers: You must make sure to manually install this file if you do not use the standard make install command. Sounds interesting for dmd as well. You could also use DMD.conf or some nice, custom file format. We have to use the .spec format in GCC/GDC which is quite limited.

Any hope for the windows/mingw target? I'll revive the mingw target at some point in time. But this requires changes in upstream druntime/phobos and as long as gdc and upstream are out of sync this requires some extra effort. So mingw support will have to wait till GDC is up to date again. -- Johannes
