Occasionally we (semi-arbitrarily) decide to bump the major version of emscripten.
In this case it does coincide with a few significant updates:
- The default Safari version targeted by Emscripten has been raised from 14.1
to 15.0 enabling 3 features to be turned on by default:
1. wasm bulk-memory proposal
2. wasm non-trapping float-to-int proposal
3. WASM_BIGINT JavaScript bigint integration with i64
- LLVM libraries (ompiler-rt, libcxx, libcxxabi) updated for v19
- Internal usage of async/await by default
For a more completely list of changes see the changelog:
https://github.com/emscripten-core/emscripten/blob/main/ChangeLog.mdHopefully we will release this in the next few days.
cheers,
