Hi everyone!

On behalf of the LDC team I am proud to announce the new 0.17.1 
release!
It is based on the 2.068.2 front-end and LLVM 3.5-3.8.

In the past months the LDC team was very active. New contributors 
joined the team and there were many high-quality pull requests. 
With this minor release we really raise the quality bar.
For sure the highlight of this release is the finished ARM 
support. We now support Linux/ARM as a new first class target. 
Thanks to Dan and Joakim for realizing this feature!
This release would not be possible without the help of Martin, 
Johan, Rainer and David who contributed bug fixes and ensured the 
quality with many good code reviews.
Thanks to all of you and to everybody I forgot to mention.

This release does not include a preview version of the Win32 
compiler. This compiler will be part of the 1.0.0 release.

Regarding the binaries:
The Linux/Intel binaries are built on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS with gcc 
4.8.x and LLVM 3.7.1. They work on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (or later) 
without installing additional software.

The Linux/ARM binary is built on Gentoo Linux with gcc 4.8.x and 
LLVM 3.7.1. E.g. it should run on a Raspberry PI but this is not 
yet verified.

The OS X binaries are built with LLVM 3.6.2 and 3.8.0.

The Win64 MSVC version is built with VS2015 using LLVM 3.7.1 in 
release mode. The distribution now contains a precompiled libcurl 
7.46.0 from http://d.darktech.org/libcurl.html. For any other 
VisualStudio version you need to rebuild the library.
You find the build script here: 
https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc-scripts/blob/master/ldc2-win64/RELEASE.proj

Please be sure to report any bugs at 
https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/issues, and feel free to 
drop by at the digitalmars.D.ldc forums 
(http://forum.dlang.org/group/digitalmars.D.ldc) for any 
questions or comments.

Thanks to everybody involved in making this happen!

Onward to 1.0!

Regards,
Kai
