The design is terrible and it really looks unprofessional.

While the old site wasn't responsive, the design was at least 
slightly better.


It just doesn't look very well done.

I'm not trying to be negative or anything, but it looks like 
someone who just learn html/css in 1999 tried to make the 
design of the page.


Well, it takes up less browser resources than my proposal for 
DConf 2018 ;-)

LDC 1.15.0

[kinke via Digitalmars-d-announce]

Glad to announce LDC 1.15:

* Based on D 2.085.1.
* Support for LLVM 8.0. The prebuilt packages ship with LLVM 
8.0.0 and include the Khronos SPIRV-LLVM-Translator, so that 
dcompute can now emit OpenCL too.
* New -lowmem switch to enable the GC for the front-end, trading 
compile times for less required memory (in some cases, by more 
than 60%).
* New generic @llvmAttr("name") parameter UDAs, incl. @restrict 
with C-like semantics.
* Dropped support for 32-bit macOS. Min macOS version for 
prebuilt package raised to 10.9.
* Prebuilt packages don't depend on libtinfo/libedit and don't 
require SSSE3 anymore.
* Fix: functions annotated with `pragma(inline, true)` are 
implicitly cross-module-inlined again.

Thanks to all contributors!

That lead to the acceptance of DIP1014 (opPostMove) not 1018. Its 
a move problem not a copy problem.
