I don't have too much to report (which is a good thing in this case): I did a fresh install from source, following [1], and I didn't encounter any problems. I was already compiling my code with an earlier GDC version that used the 2.066.1 front-end (which is required for my code) because it gives me a 2.5x speed increase for my code execution (in my Linux VM at least), so I love the new release already :-D Cheers, Stefan [1] http://wiki.dlang.org/GDC/Installation/Generic thank you for work, i like it :) but, this version support android? There should be no reason for compiler not to support Android, but as far as I know, D runtime support is still missing. This is in the hands of upstream library development. See: https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/druntime/pull/1010 Regards Iain.

All what I think is needed is for gdc to emit some __begin_catch call which builds and returns the constructed Exception object to be passed to user-land. https://github.com/D-Programming-GDC/GDC/pull/98
