ldc2 1.18.0 snap package release

[Joseph Rushton Wakeling]

Hello folks,

Just to announce that there are now stable 1.18.0 releases for 
amd64 and i386 builds of the ldc2 snap package.  To install:

     sudo snap install --classic --stable ldc2

or upgrade:

     sudo snap refresh --classic --stable ldc2

There are also stable releases for all the recent 1.x releases 
(1.1 through 1.17).  To switch to these, use for example:

     sudo snap install --classic --channel=1.17/stable ldc2

or to switch an installed version:

     sudo snap refresh --classic --channel=1.16/stable ldc2

... or similarly for any other 1.x release you prefer.

These should work on any Ubuntu release more recent than 14.04, 
and any recent Debian, Arch, SuSE, Solus, and others.  For a full 
list of supported distros see:
https://snapcraft.io/docs/installing-snapd

Running the ldc2 snap requires gcc to be installed on the host 
system, as this is used for linking.

Hope this is useful, and please let me know if the snap package 
is useful for you.

Thanks & best wishes,

      -- Joe
