The release 0.9.1 of LDC, the LLVM based compiler for the D programming 
language, contains the following major improvements:

 * lots of bug fixes (http://www.dsource.org/projects/ldc/report/15)
 * x86-64 support is mature
 * inline asm improved (we now define D_Inline_Asm)
 * cross-compilation support
 * uses boehm-gc during compilation (x86-32 only)
 * D specific optimizations:
   * turn GC allocations to allocas if possible
   * simplify or remove certain calls to D runtime functions

The command line interface of LDC now has added options in line with other 
LLVM based tools. Please use the ldmd wrapper if you want a drop-in 
replacement for DMD.
