v0.12.1

0.12.1 (2020-06-17)

Bug Fixes

• Fix compiler-internal UTF-8 encoding & decoding helpers (#1345) (4ed8acb)

v0.12.0

0.12.0 (2020-06-15)

Bug Fixes

• Fix version string in SDK dist files (#1336) (e5bfe15)
• Prevent stack overflow in portable fromCharCodes/CodePoints (#1340) (6dce0f2)

Code Refactoring

• Rename dtoa/itoa_stream to dtoa/itoa_buffered & simplify them (#1339) (0e398c4)

BREAKING CHANGES

• The internal dtoa/itoa_stream helpers (unsafe Number#toString) in util/number have been renamed to dtoa/itoa_buffered, don't take a redundant offset argument anymore, and the underlying core implementation helpers are no longer exposed. Usage now is: dtoa_buffered(buffer + byteOffset, value)

v0.11.0

0.11.0 (2020-06-14)

Code Refactoring

• Reorder ASC_TARGET enum for clarity (#1318) (f67a843)

Features

• Use integer power for integer types (#1146) (8c2e9cc)

BREAKING CHANGES

• The values of ASC_TARGET have been flipped, with JS (portable) now being 0, WASM32 being 1 and WASM64 being 2.
• The result of a ** binary operation is now the common denominator integer if both operands are integers. Previously, the result was a float as if calling Math/f.pow.

v0.10.2

From v0.10.2 onwards we are switching to automated semantic releases. This tag is otherwise identical to v0.10.1.

v0.10.1

New features

• Added an experimental GC finalization hook to perform custom cleanup on free
• Implemented radix argument on Number#toString
• Allow disabling arbitrary globals with --use TheGlobal=
• Emit a warning when exporting a generic element with no concrete instances
• Implemented portable variants of TypedArray.wrap
• Use node-like resolution instead of relative paths in asinit-generated tsconfigs, if possible
• Updated Binaryen to latest incl. support for f32x4/f64x2.ceil/floor/trunc/nearest

Relevant fixes

• Fixed Array#flat definitions
• Improved error messages on unusual usages of void, null and undefined types
• Fixed a resolver issue when calling function expressions
• Disabled aggressive ARC optimizations due to a pending issue
• Fixed a compiler issue when referencing variables in their own initializer
• Fixed an assertion on accesses to variables that failed to compile earlier
• Fixed Wasm module exports reference in asinit-generated index file

v0.10.0

Breaking changes

• Added a seed import (along abort and trace) for seeding the random number generator
• Arrays no longer inherit from ArrayBufferView, but are now distinct
• The loader API now more closely aligns with the WebAssembly API
• Various compiler API changes (i.e. decoupled the parser from the program)
• Classes initialized from object literals can no longer define a constructor
• Moved examples from the main repo to their own repo
• Modules now become validated by default (disable with --noValidate, --validate is gone)
• Reworked memory options (added --noExportMemory, --initialMemory, --maximumMemory, with --sharedMemory now being a boolean flag)
• Renamed the --asmjsFile command line option to --jsFile (alias: -j)

Improvements

• Simplified WASI integration via import "wasi" (implements abort, trace, seed)
• Implemented virtual overloading and interfaces (consider this minimal viable)
• Reworked optimization pass pipeline / more aggressive inlining
• Added support for Binaryen's lowMemoryUnused feature
• Added --lowMemoryLimit option for embedded scenarios with less than one page of memory
• Added support for StaticArray to the loader
• Non-MVP types are now always present to aid conditional compilation (i.e. same source, with and without SIMD)
• Added Array<T>#flat
• Updated stdlib to Unicode 13.0.0
• Added a --yes option to asinit to accept all prompts
• Added memory.data to explicitly create static memory segments
• Expose setArgumentsLength (for varargs calls) only when required
• Added v128.pmin<T>, v128.pmax<T>, v128.abs<T>, v128.bitmask<T> incl. their respective inline-assembler variants

Relevant fixes

• Fixed column numbers in diagnostics being off by one
• Made asc respect absolute output paths
• Fixed various issues with object literal compilation
• Fixed WASI struct sizes to match the specification
• Fixed default export issues

v0.9.4

Relevant fixes

• Fixed an unintended breaking compiler API change (affecting users of transforms).

v0.9.3

New features

• Added StaticArray<T>, a more efficient array variant
• Added support for context dependent sigma symbols to String#toLowerCase
• Refactored the compiler so it can compile itself (binary is not yet runnable)
• Added afterInitialize transform hook
• Updated Binaryen to latest

Relevant fixes

• Fixed various code generation, type propagation and resolver issues

v0.9.2

New features

• Added a --tableBase CLI option (like --memoryBase, but for tables)
• Added support for x instanceof GenericClass
• Updated Binaryen to latest

Relevant fixes

• Fixed null related edge cases when inferring array literals
• Fixed several code generation issues
• Aligned Map#set and Set#add with the spec, returning this
• Fixed WASI import scheme to be wasi_snapshot_preview1

v0.9.1

Relevant fixes

• Reverted exclusive use of the mutable __argumentsLength global introduced in 0.9.0 due to compatibility concerns with node < 12 and Safari. Exporting a __setArgumentsLength helper function for now. The loader has been updated to recognize both.

New features

• Updated Binaryen to latest. Might be relevant for users of transforms, where the exact same version is required.
• Command line options have been divided into categories to be easier to grasp, and documentation updated accordingly.
