Congratulations everyone! :-)

I've uploaded an updated version of the snap package to the 
Ubuntu store, based on the following package definition:
https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc2.snap/releases/tag/rev2

As before this is now awaiting manual review, which based on 
previous experience should take a few working days.  I'll make a 
post in the Announce forum once it is published.

The snap package uses LLVM 3.8, since there's not a 3.9 package 
available in Ubuntu 16.04.  I'm looking into how to most 
effectively get 3.9 in there; it will probably involve building 
LLVM from source, but since that's a reasonably hefty process, I 
thought I'd get an initial v1.1.0 snap out there before moving on 
that.
