Hi everyone!

The second alpha release of LDC release 0.13.0 is here! It is 
based on the 2.064.2 front-end and LLVM 3.1-3.4 (OS X: LLVM 
3.2/3.4 only).

Please refer to the GitHub release page for the preliminary 
change log and the
package download links:
https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/releases/tag/v0.13.0-alpha2

There was an overwhelming feedback on the first alpha release. I 
was able to integrate most of the suggestions made. But I also 
decided to postpone some of them to release 0.14.0:

- Add line numbers to the error messages produced by -nogc.
- Provide a binary which can compile for ARM targets. (This makes 
only sense if
issue #259 is solved. A pull request for 0.14.0 already exists.)

The rdmd tool is only included in the Debian package. I will 
integrate it soon, too.

Important: This is an alpha version and contains known bugs. Be 
sure to read the section "Known bugs (release blocker)" in the 
preliminary change log.

As always, the Win32/MinGW packages require a recent version of 
the mingw-w64 toolchain, see the (new) README file for details.

There is no Win64/MSVC package because I found a severe bug in 
the Win64/MSVC port. I hope to have this fixed for the beta1 
release.

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!

Regards,
Kai
