Changelog

[Unreleased]

0.17.0 - 2020-05-11

• #1401 Make breaking change to RuntimeError: RuntimeError is now more explicit about its possible error values allowing for better insight into why a call into Wasm failed.
• #1382 Refactored test infranstructure (part 2)
• #1380 Refactored test infranstructure (part 1)
• #1357 Refactored bin commands into separate files
• #1331 Implement the record type and instrutions for WIT
• #1345 Adding ARM testing in Azure Pipelines
• #1335 Change mutability of memory to const in wasmer_memory_data_length in the C API
• #1329 New numbers and strings instructions for WIT
• #1332 Add option to CompilerConfig to force compiler IR verification off even when debug_assertions are enabled. This can be used to make debug builds faster, which may be important if you're creating a library that wraps Wasmer and depend on the speed of debug builds.
• #1320 Change custom_sections field in ModuleInfo to be more standards compliant by allowing multiple custom sections with the same name. To get the old behavior with the new API, you can add .last().unwrap() to accesses. For example, module_info.custom_sections["custom_section_name"].last().unwrap().
• #1313 Add new high-level public API through wasmer crate. Includes many updates including:
  • Minor improvement: imports! macro now handles no trailing comma as well as a trailing comma in namespaces and between namespaces.
  • New methods on Module: exports, imports, and custom_sections.
  • New way to get exports from an instance with let func_name: Func<i32, i64> = instance.exports.get("func_name");.
  • Improved Table APIs including set which now allows setting functions directly. TODO: update this more if Table::get gets made public in this PR
  • TODO: finish the list of changes here
• #1303 NaN canonicalization for singlepass backend.
• #1292 Experimental Support for Android (x86_64 and AArch64)
• #1305 Handle panics from DynamicFunc.
• #1301 Update supported stable Rust version to 1.41.1.
• #1300 Add support for multiple versions of WASI tests: wasitests now test all versions of WASI.
• #1285 Greatly improve errors in wasmer-interface-types
• #1283 Workaround for floating point arguments and return values in DynamicFuncs.

0.16.2 - 2020-03-11

• #1294 Fix bug related to system calls in WASI that rely on reading from WasmPtrs as arrays of length 0. WasmPtr will now succeed on length 0 arrays again.

0.16.1 - 2020-03-11

• #1291 Fix installation packaging script to package the wax command.

0.16.0 - 2020-03-11

• #1286 Updated Windows Wasmer icons. Add wax
• #1284 Implement string and memory instructions in wasmer-interface-types
• #1272 Fix off-by-one error bug when accessing memory with a WasmPtr that contains the last valid byte of memory. Also changes the behavior of WasmPtr<T, Array> with a length of 0 and WasmPtr<T> where std::mem::size_of::<T>() is 0 to always return None

0.15.0 - 2020-03-04

• #1263 Changed the behavior of some WASI syscalls to now handle preopened directories more properly. Changed default --debug logging to only show Wasmer-related messages.
• #1217 Polymorphic host functions based on dynamic trampoline generation.
• #1252 Allow / in wasi --mapdir wasm path.
• #1212 Add support for GDB JIT debugging:
  • Add --generate-debug-info and -g flags to wasmer run to generate debug information during compilation. The debug info is passed via the GDB JIT interface to a debugger to allow source-level debugging of Wasm files. Currently only available on clif-backend.
  • Break public middleware APIs: there is now a source_loc parameter that should be passed through if applicable.
  • Break compiler trait methods such as feed_local, feed_event as well as ModuleCodeGenerator::finalize.

0.14.1 - 2020-02-24

Also breaks that implementations of WasiFile must be Send -- please file an issue if this change causes you any issues.
