37.0.0

Released 2025-09-20.

Added

  • Wasmtime now fully implements the WebAssembly exception-handling proposal.
    Support is still disabled by default but is ready for testing. The proposal
    will be enabled by default in a future release of Wasmtime.
    #11326

  • An initial implementation of WASIp3 is available for the 0.3.0-rc-2025-08-15
    tag made for the WASIp3 release. Note that this is not production ready yet
    but is an excellent time to start kicking the tires in preparation for an
    upcoming officialy WASIp3 0.3.0 release. Users of the CLI can opt-in with
    -Sp3 -Wcomponent-model-async.
    #11406
    #11423
    #11443

  • Wasmtime has initial support for the Linux PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl which can
    greatly improve instantiation throughput in scenarios with a high number of
    instantiations and short instance lifetime. This support is disabled by
    default but will likely be enabled by default in a future release.
    #11372
    #11433

  • GC support can now be configured in Config and not only through crate
    features through Config::gc_support.
    #11463

  • Wasmtime now supports reading metrics of the pooling allocator at runtime.
    #11490

  • The ManuallyRooted type is now replaced with OwnedRooted which is intended
    to make management of GC object lifetimes on the host easier.
    #11514

  • Wasmtime's documentation of the C++ embedding API and examples has been
    expanded.
    #11569

  • Wasmtime's support for the stack-switching WebAssembly proposal continues to
    progress on x86_64 Linux.
    #11003

Changed

  • The preview0 and preview1 modules and features in the wasmtime-wasi
    crate are now called p0 and p1.
    #11380

  • Release artifacts for the C API are now unconditionally built with unwind
    tables.
    #11383

  • Wasmtime now requires Rust 1.87.0 or later to build.
    #11396

  • The component-model-async gated AbortHandle is now named JoinHandle.
    #11414

  • Wasmtime's internal implementation details are now async in many more
    locations to help ensure the implementation is more sound.

    #11461
    #11468
    #11470
    #11481
    #11496

  • Component-model-async primitives such as streams, tasks, etc, now use the same
    table as resources in a component. This means that guest-visible allocated
    indices are updated slightly.
    #11374

  • Wasmtime's precompiled binaries available from CI now include the
    component-model-async feature.
    #11429

  • C API release artifacts are now built with LTO so they have a smaller size.
    #11483

  • Code can no longer be loaded on x86_64-unknown-none by default without
    opting-in to a contract that either the host is compiled with SSE2 support or
    wasm is compiled with enough features that libcalls aren't used.
    #11553

  • Host support for component model async futures/streams has been updated to a
    new API.
    #11515

Fixed

  • GC of dead DWARF has been improved.
    #11402

  • Wasm-gc branching instructions now correctly check for fuel.
    #11426

  • The array.new_default instruction now checks for fuel/epochs in its inner
    loop.
    #11428

  • The "min" C API artifacts now have correct headers.
    #11479

  • GC OOM during const eval no longer panics.
    #11557

  • Wasmtime now properly respects a disabled std feature even on targets which
    have std available.
    #11568
