LDC 0.15.0 alpha1 released! Please help test!

[Kai Nacke via digitalmars-d-ldc]

Hi everyone!

On behalf of the LDC team I am proud to announce the LDC 0.15.0 
alpha1 release!
It is based on the 2.066.1-rc2 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 quite usable. 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 is really bleeding edge. Please 
help to find the bugs!

This release does not include a mingw binary because of some 
build problems. This is on the todo list for alpha2 or beta1 
release.

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