Hi everyone!

On behalf of the LDC team I am proud to announce the LDC 0.15.0 
beta1 release! It is based on the 2.066.1 front-end and LLVM 
3.1-3.5 (OS X: no support for 3.3).

This is a really exciting release!

Support for the PowerPC architecture has grown. Linux/PPC64 
Little Endian is now usable, including garbage collector support. 
Linux/PPC32 compiles out of the box and can run simple 
application. There is still lot to do, though.

Even more exciting this release comes with the first official 
development snapshot(!) of a Win64 compiler targetting the MS C 
Runtime. Thanks to Trass3r and kinke for their active 
development! Please note that this version requires LLVM 3.6 
(current development version).

This beta release also includes the mingw binaries missing from 
the alpha release. The mingw binaries are build with 
i686-4.9.1-release-posix-dwarf-rt_v3-rev1 downloaded with the 
mingw installer.

Be sure to read the preliminary change log at the GitHub release 
page which also has the package download links:

As always, the Win32/MinGW packages require a recent version of 
the mingw-w64 toolchain, see 
http://wiki.dlang.org/Building_LDC_on_MinGW_x86 for details.
