22.0.0

Released 2024-06-20.

  #8672

Changed

• Wasmtime and Cranelift's now require Rust 1.76.0 to build.
  #8560

  C API. Additionally wasi_config_set_env and wasi_config_set_argv may now
  return an error.
  #8572

• Cranelift now updates registers of backend instructions in-place, simplifying
  register allocation and assignment.
  #8566
  #8581
  #8592
  #8604
  #8605

• Wasmtime now attempts to batch memory decommits into one tight loop.
  #8581
  #8590

  add_to_linker_get_host functions which enable a more general means by which
  to acquire host implementations from a store's T.
  #8448

• The wasmtime serve subcommand will now dynamically determine whether to use
  the pooling allocator by default based on the system's available virtual
  memory.
  #8610

• Implementations of Host traits in the wasmtime-wasi crate are now for
  WasiImpl<T> instead of blanket impls for T.
  #8609
  #8766

• The concepts of "virtual sp offset" and "nominal sp" have been removed from all

  #8631
  #8643

• The maximum size of linear memory in the pooling allocator is now specified in
  bytes instead of pages.
  #8628

• Wasmtime no longer has two different host ABIs for host functions and instead
  only has one. The "array" calling convention is now unconditionally used
  instead of having a split between the "native" calling convention and the
  "array" calling convention. This means that Func::new is now available even
  when the cranelift feature is disabled.
  #8629
  #8646

• Wasmtime's C API bindings for CMake have been refactored and now supports
  specifying Cargo features directly. Functions that are configured out are now
  also gated in header files.

  traits/types/modules even when the with module is used via new pub use
  statements.
  #8721

• The WasiCtxBuilder::socket_addr_check function now takes an async closure.
  #8715

• The Func::wrapN_async functions and friends have all been consolidated into
  a single function with a slightly different signature of taking a tuple of
  arguments rather than "splatted" arguments.
  #8732

Fixed

• Trampoline lookup for wasm gc functions that may use subtyping on the host to
  match a guest's desired type now no longer panics.
  #8579

• The total size of arguments, environment variables, and preopens is now
  allowed to exceed 64k when using the wasip1 component adapter.
  #8594

• Performing a zero-length read on file streams is now fixed in WASI.
  #8611

• Tail calls are now turned by default after a mistake was discovered in the
  previous releases's intent to enable them by default.
  #8682

  #8540

Changed

Changed

  externref. Many APIs in this area has changed, see linked PRs for more
  details. Note that the wasm_* parts of the C API no longer support
  externref.
  #8011
  #8196

• The wasmtime::component::Val type no longer stores type information and
  instead must be interpreted in the context of a type.
  #8062

• The arguments required for ResourceAny::try_from_resource have been

  #8139
  #8206

• Book-based documentation has been reordered and refactored.
  #8130

  the wasi-cli APIs. -S common is still accepted for now, and will be deprecated
  in the future.

• Support for the WebAssembly threads proposal is now gated by an
  on-by-default Cargo feature named threads.
  #8260
