No, kinke has had this down before, as the first 1.10 beta came 
out within two weeks and the 1.11 beta came out on the same day 
as its upstream dmd:

This _is_ the first time we're releasing a native build of LDC 
for linux/AArch64 on the release date, because of the work kinke 
did to add a Linux/AArch64 CI for LDC, which also automatically 
uploads the release build. 1.11 was the first release with an 
AArch64 build, but that was added manually a week later, as can 
be seen from the datestamps here:

I'll add native beta builds for Android in a couple days.
