  • Instead of installing wasi_logging plug-in shared library, developers can find and get this plug-in after calling WasmEdge_PluginLoadWithDefaultPaths() API.
  • In the WasmEdge CLI tools, the built-in plug-ins will automatically be loaded.
• [Proposal] Initial support for instantiation phase of component model.
  • Due to the breaking change of API, bump the plug-in API_VERSION to 3.
• [Proposal] Supported WASM Relaxed-SIMD proposal.
  • Added the WasmEdge_Proposal_RelaxSIMD for the configuration in WasmEdge C API.
  • Users can use the --enable-relaxed-simd to enable the proposal in wasmedge and wasmedgec tools.

Fixed issues:

• Fixed warnings on GCC-14.
• Fixed the fmt related header inclusion for error logging.
• Fixed WASI test error in Windows.
• Fixed version checking in source tarball.
• Fixed version detection issue when building from source.
• Fixed the visibility of internal symbols.
• [Loader] Fixed alignment checking in loading immediates for memory instructions.
• [Runtime] Fixed allocation issue when configured the limited memory page size.
• Used fmt::format instead of string stream in error logging.

Tests:

• Added WASI test suites on Windows.

Known issues:

• Universal WASM format failed on macOS platforms.
  • In the current status, the universal WASM format output of the AOT compiler with the O1 or upper optimizations on MacOS platforms will cause a bus error during execution.
  • We are trying to fix this issue. For a working around, please use the --optimize=0 to set the compiler optimization level to O0 in wasmedgec CLI.

Thank all the contributors who made this release possible!
