[Kai Nacke via digitalmars-d-ldc]

Hi everyone!

On behalf of the LDC team I am proud to announce the LDC 0.15.2 
beta2 release!
It is based on the 2.066.1 front-end and LLVM 3.1-3.6 (OS X: no 
support for 3.3).

This minor release fixes some issues and adds new features. Most 
important changes are:

- DMD-style coverage analysis is added
- ABI changes which fixes a lot of bugs in the Win64 compiler

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

Regarding the binaries:
The Linux binaries are built on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS with gcc 4.8.x 
and LLVM 3.6.1. They work on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (or later) without 
installing additional software.

As always, the Win32/MinGW packages require a recent version of 
the mingw-w64 toolchain, see 
http://wiki.dlang.org/Building_LDC_on_MinGW_x86 for details. The 
package is build with i686-4.9.1-release-posix-dwarf-rt_v3-rev1 
downloaded with the mingw installer. The distribution now 
contains a precompiled libcurl 7.40.0 from 
http://d.darktech.org/libcurl.html.

The OS X binaries are now built on OS X 10.10. It is currently 
unknown if this causes backwards compatibility issues.

The Win64 MSVC version is still considered alpha quality. It is 
built with VS2013 using LLVM 3.7 (trunk) in release mode. The 
distribution now contains a precompiled libcurl 7.40.0 from 
http://d.darktech.org/libcurl.html.
Attention: There is a regression in LDC or a bug in LLVM which 
currently requires the use of linker flag -L/FORCE:MULTIPLE. I am 
currently investigating this issue.

Thanks to everybody involved in making this happen!
