0.5.7

Wasmer 0.5.7 ships with a complete refactor of the WASI filesystem and a newer version of wapm with improved speed and better developer experience for new updates.

Changelog

• #575 Prepare for release; update wapm to 0.3.6
• #555 WASI filesystem rewrite. Major improvements
  • adds virtual root showing all preopened directories
  • improved sandboxing and code-reuse
  • symlinks work in a lot more situations
  • many misc. improvements to most syscalls touching the filesystem

0.5.6

This version of wasmer ships with WebAssembly Interfaces bundled into wapm. Also improves significantly WASI tests and implementation.

Changelog

• #565 Update wapm and bump version to 0.5.6
• #563 Improve wasi testing infrastructure
  • fixes arg parsing from comments & fixes the mapdir test to have the native code doing the same thing as the WASI code
  • makes wasitests-generate output stdout/stderr by default & adds function to print stdout and stderr for a command if it fails
  • compiles wasm with size optimizations & strips generated wasm with wasm-strip
• #554 Finish implementation of wasi::fd_seek, fix bug in filestat

0.5.5

This version of wasmer improves significantly the Emscripten backend making it compatible with the latest Emscripten LLVM release. It also improves the dependency graph between modules and improves the caching strategies.

Changelog

• #541 Fix dependency graph by making separate test crates; ABI implementations should not depend on compilers. Add Cranelift fork as git submodule of clif-backend
• #537 Add hidden flag (--cache-key) to use prehashed key into the compiled wasm cache and change compiler backend-specific caching to use directories
• #536 Update cache to use compiler backend name in cache key

0.5.4

Changelog

• #529 Updates the Wasm Interface library, which is used by wapm, with bug fixes and error message improvements

0.5.3

Changelog

• #523 Update wapm version to fix bug related to signed packages in the global namespace and locally-stored public keys

0.5.2

This version improves significantly the Emscripten integration, making it possible to handle networking and filesystem much better. Wasmer can now run Python! 🎉
This version also ships with the wapm-cli with changes that improve filesystem usage, and introducing wasm interfaces to statically analyze modules before uploading them to wapm.

Changelog

• #521 Update Wapm-cli, bump version numbers
• #518 Update Cranelift and WasmParser
• #514 #519 Improved Emscripten network related calls, added a null check to WasmPtr
• #515 Improved Emscripten dyncalls

Changelog

• #508 Update wapm version, includes bug fixes

0.5.0

This version of Wasmer ships with a much more stable version of WASI, supporting environment variables and directory mapping. It also ships with wapm 0.3.0 that includes support for package signing and contracts.
Apart of the fixes we improved the Emscripten integration, that now is able to run python and openssl.
