v0.18.1 - 2022-10-13

Changed

• Optimize for common cases for branch and return instructions.
  (#493)
  • This led to up to 10% performance improvement according to our benchmarks
    in some cases.
• Removed extraneous S: impl AsContext generic parameter from Func::typed method.
• Make IntoFunc, WasmType and WasmRet traits publicly available.
• Add missing impl for WasmRet for Result<T, Trap> where T: WasmType.
  • Without this impl it was impossible to provide closures to Func::wrap
    that returned Result<T, Trap> where T: WasmType, only Result<(), Trap>
    or Result<(T,), Trap> was possible before.

Internal

• Added wasmi_arena crate which defines all internally used arena data structures.
  (#502)
• Update to clap 4.0 in wasmi_cli. (#498)
• Many more improvements to our internal benchmarking CI.
