Came here in '91 in the U.S. Army, got out in '94 and stayed to 
make some money for a few years, married in '99, and now I'm a 
permanent resident. I've been a freelance teacher/tutor of one 
form or another for most of that time. These days I do very 
little actual teaching and mostly get paid to edit research 
papers, help high school students with their homework (I started 
teaching one kid when he was 6 and he starts high school this 
year), and otherwise talk to people in English two or three hours 
a week.

It's nice to see this advertised.

One thing: "Common best policies" in the list of benefits is an awkward 
phrase; I'm not sure if the intention is something like "Common best 
practices" or "Common branch policies".

* New switch `-link-defaultlib-shared` to link against shared 
druntime/Phobos.

* Plugins support, compatible with existing Clang plugins.
* Support for LLVM IR-based PGO as alternative to existing 
(AST-based) PGO.

* Basic support for LLVM XRay instrumentation.

Full release log and downloads:

Thanks to all contributors!


Thank you for the fast beta!

Out of curiosity, do you have a strong use-case to 
install/update dub separately of the compiler?


I don't even use or need latest as of yet. I need to download the 
exact same version in my scripts nevertheless.

I just saw that it was not updated and wanted to let you know.

But I package dub and the tools as a separate package from dmd.
Archlinux is doing the same and I find it reasonable. dub and the 
tools should be buildable with other compilers too and one day I 
might switch to ldc as the default compiler for the distribution 
because of speed.
