And besides the packages, thanks for the updated new ldc description!

Canonical also talking about snaps :)

Linear algebra stuff could be build nicely on top of the ndslice, you agree?
Live streaming of DConf 2016: confirmed
Have just got a confirmation that there will both live stream and high quality recording for later publishing during DConf 2016 @ Berlin - not being able to attend is not a reason to not participate! ;) I will also forward any questions asked online to speakers (if time allows). To make sure your question gets noticed please submit it (when the time comes) either via Twitter using #askdconf hash tag or via official D IRC channel (#d @ irc.freenode.net), preferrably mentioning the same hash tag. Only bit that is still decided upon is platform choice for primary stream source - will update this topic when it gets settled. See you soon in Berlin!

(Freetype library has name libft2.so on Android) PR is submitted, but not yet integrated into DerelictFT: https://github.com/DerelictOrg/DerelictFT/pull/9 PS: Current build is using android-19 API (Android 4.4 Kitkat) due to GLES3 dependency. Will provide support of older platforms later, if needed.

DlangUI on Android
Hello, I've implemented initial support of Android in DlangUI. Only armv7a architecture is supported so far. You can downlowd sample APK: https://sourceforge.net/projects/crengine/files/DlangUI/ How to add support of Android to your DlangUI project. = Copy dlangui/android/android_project directory to you DlangUI project directory. Probably you will want to change android package name in AndroidManifest.xml and application display name in res/values/strings.xml Modify android_app.mk, android_build_config.mk android_app.mk == Update LOCAL_SRC_FILES to include all your project's files. android_build_config.mk === Update paths to Android NDK, SDK, DlangUI source directory. Default values: export DLANGUI_DIR=$HOME/src/d/dlangui export NDK=$HOME/android-ndk-r11c export SDK=$HOME/android-sdk-linux export LDC=$HOME/ldc2-android-arm-0.17.0-alpha2-linux-x86_64 export NDK_ARCH=x86_64 Use LDC cross compiler for armv7a build according instructions https://wiki.dlang.org/Build_LDC_for_Android#Build_a_sample_OpenGL_Android_app_ported_to_D
Re: Blog post: PGO: Optimizing D's virtual calls
On Wednesday, 20 April 2016 at 22:10:53 UTC, Marco Leise wrote: 7% is quite a bit more than any other option like -cpu=native could achieve. If feasible I'd enjoy if ldc2 shipped with a pgo configuration option. If you use the compiler in a lot of edit/compile cycles it will pay off. This was the use-case I was optimizing for, and so I will add an option to pass a PGO profile to the CMake script :-) Note that it is a 7% improvement in the D part of LDC. The optimizer (LLVM, C++) takes most of the time during compilation and so the overall performance increase is smaller.
