LDC 1.10.0-beta2 is out now, based on recent DMD stable and with 
these main changes since beta1:


* Cross-compilation-friendly LDC config file extensions.
* Fix std.math compile error regressions for ARM, AArch64, MIPS, 
etc.

* Fix LDC compile errors on 64-bit macOS with DMD >= 2.079.
* Fix sporadic front-end crashes.
* Win64 ABI:
  * Breaking change for extern(D): vectors now passed directly in 
registers.

  * Fix for extern(C++) wrt. small non-PODs passed by value.

Thanks to all contributors!


Out of curiosity, how come the Objective-C integration seem to 
always lack behind when LDC merges a new DMD release with some 
new Objective-C integration? Is it less prioritized, not so 
much knowledge in this area, something else?


In addition to what David said, the plan is to have longer beta 
periods for ldc from here on out, which is why this ldc beta was 
released so soon after the corresponding dmd release, two weeks, 
a new record. You're free to test it out and submit issues or 
pulls before the final ldc release, as I do for Android.

Basically all of the latter – many of us LDC devs are not really 
interested in the Objective-C integration for our own/company 
use, and kinke (who has been doing virtually all of the frontend 
merging work lately) IIRC doesn't have access to an OS X box. Not 
breaking existing features without direct access to a target is 
one thing, but implementing new features off the CI only is 
another.


Help would be very welcome, though.
