Big news

• Objective-C Support. (#1419)
• ARM platform is now fully supported. (#1283, #489)

Bug fixes

• Wrong template filter on atomicOp. (#1454)
• Runtime error on synchronized(typeid(SomeInterface)) { }. (#1377)
• TypeInfo is stored read-only, but mutable from D. (#1337)
• Inline assembly regression with local variable references. (#1292)
• Compile error on Linux/PPC and Linux/PPC64 due to missing import in Phobos.

Building LDC

• LDC now requires a preinstalled D compiler.
• Building on OS X requires ld64-264 or above (shipping with Xcode 7.3). This avoid spurious crashes during exception handling. XCode 7.3.1 should be used to avoid linker errors. (#1444, #1512) (new)

Internals

• Linking against LLVM shared library is now supported.

Known issues

• LDC does not zero the padding area of a real variable. This may lead to wrong results if the padding area is also considered. See #770. Does not apply to real members inside structs etc.
• Phobos does not compile on MinGW platform.
