WasmEdge

0.12.0-alpha.1 (2022-12-23)

Features:

• Updated the WasmEdge shared library.
  • Due to the breaking change of ABI, bump the SOVERSION to 0.0.2.
• Introduced the python version WasmEdge installer.
• Updated the ABI of the wasi_ephemeral_sock.
  • Added the output port of the sock_recv_from.
  • Updated the API of sock_getlocaladdr.
  • Unified the socket address size to 128-bit.
• Supported using libtool to archive the WasmEdge static library.

Fixed issues:

• Fixed WASI-NN issues.
  • Fixed the definition of wasi_nn::TensorType to prevent from comparing with dirty data.
• Fixed the lost intrinsics table in AOT mode when using the WasmEdge C API.
• Fixed the implementation in threads proposal.
  • Fixed the error in atomic.nofify and atomic.wait instructions.
  • Fixed the decoding of atomic.fence instruction.
  • Corrected the error message of waiting on unshared memory.

Refactor:

• Refactored the implementation of number loading in the file manager.
  • Supported s33 and sn loading and decoding.
• Refactored the WasmEdge::ValType.
  • Removed the WasmEdge::ValType::None.
  • Used the flag in WasmEdge::BlockType for supporting the type index.
  • Removed the WasmEdge::Validator::VType and used the WasmEdge::ValType instead.

Known issues:

• Universal WASM format failed on MacOS platforms.
  • In current status, the universal WASM format output of the AOT compiler with the O1 or upper optimizations on MacOS platforms will cause bus error when execution.
  • We are trying to fix this issue. For working around, please use the --optimize=0 to set the compiler optimization level to O0 in wasmedgec CLI.
• WasmEdge CLI failed on Windows 10 issue.
  • Please refer to here for the workaround if the msvcp140.dll is missing occurs.
• Plug-in linking on MacOS platforms.
  • The plug-in on MacOS platforms will cause symbol not found when dynamic linking.
  • We are trying to fix this issue. For working around, please implement the host modules instead of plug-ins.

Documentations:

• Fixed various typos.
• Updated the Android NDK example.
• Added the static library linking guide.

Tests:

• Updated the WASM spec tests to the date 2022/12/15.

0.11.2 (2022-11-03)

Features:

• Added the new WasmEdge C API.
  • Added the WasmEdge_ConfigureSetForceInterpreter() API to set the force interpreter mode.
  • Added the WasmEdge_ConfigureIsForceInterpreter() API to check the force interpreter mode in configurations.
  • Added the WasmEdge_LogOff() API to turn off the logging.
  • Due to introducing the new APIs, bump the SOVERSION to 0.0.1.
• Added the additional hint messages if import not found when in instantiation.
• Added the forcibly interpreter execution mode in WasmEdge CLI.
  • Users can use the --force-interpreter option in the wasmedge tool to forcibly execute WASM files (includes the AOT compiled WASM files) in interpreter mode.

• Bump the fmt format of logging to 9.0.0.
• Added the new experimental edge-triggered epoll API epollOneoff in the WASI component.

Fixed issues:

• Detected the valid _start function of the WasmEdge CLI command mode.

  • Rejected the unreasonable long vector sizes.
• Fixed the lost std namespace in the experimental::expected.
• Fixed the repeatedly compilation of universal WASM format.
  • If users use the wasmedgec tool to compile the universal WASM file, the AOT compiled WASM data will be appended into the output.
  • In the cases of duplicated AOT compiled universal WASM file which has more than 1 section of AOT compiled WASM data, the WasmEdge runtime will use the latest appended one when execution.
• Hided the local symbols of the WasmEdge shared library.
• Loaded the default plug-in path from the path related to the WasmEdge shared library.
  • This only fixed on the MacOS and Linux platforms now.
• Updated the minimum CMake required version on Android.

  • We are trying to fix this issue. For working around, please use the shared library format output of the AOT mode, or set the compiler optimization level to O0 in WasmEdge C API.
  • Developers can specify the extension name as .dylib on MacOS for the shared library format output when using wasmedgec tool.

0.10.1-alpha.2 (2022-07-04)

Features:

• Supported WASI-NN plug-in with OpenVINO backend on Ubuntu 20.04 x86_64.
  • Users can refer to the standard extension status for the information.
  • For building with enabling WASI-NN with OpenVINO backend, please add the -DWASMEDGE_WASINN_BACKEND="OpenVINO" in cmake.
• Supported the WASM threads proposal.
  • Added the WasmEdge_Proposal_Threads for the configuration in WasmEdge C API.
  • Users can use the --enable-threads to enable the proposal in wasmedge and wasmedgec tools.
• Supported LLVM 14 on MacOS.
  • Used the new macho in lld on LLVM-14 envronment.
  • Bumpped IWYU to 0.18 to be compatible with LLVM 14 on MacOS.

Fixed issues:

• Fixed the universal WASM format failed on MacOS platforms.
  • Developers can specify the extension name as .wasm on MacOS as the universal WASM format output of the AOT compiler to enable the AOT mode.
• Fixed the WasmEdge C API static library on MacOS with LLVM 14.

  • Please refer to here for the workaround if the msvcp140.dll is missing occurs.
• Plug-in linking on MacOS platforms.
  • The plug-in on MacOS platforms will cause symbol not found when dynamic linking.
  • We are trying to fix this issue. For working around, please implement the host modules instead of plug-ins.
