Releases: elringus/bootsharp
v0.8.0
This release ships many new features and enhancements I've wanted to add over the last 3 years while using Bootsharp extensively in production, notably:
- The NativeAOT-LLVM compiler is now shipped with the package and used by default for release builds. Compared to .NET's stock AOT compiler, it produces faster and smaller builds.
- Replaced .NET's JSON serializer with our own binary serializer, fine-tuned for maximum performance in WASM. Combined with the LLVM compiler, this improved marshalling performance by 2.5x (outperforming Rust's wasm-bindgen!) and, most importantly, reduced the WASM binary size by ~30%.
- Radically expanded supported interop surfaces: properties, events, delegates, generic and overloaded methods, nested instances — Bootsharp now supports most common API shapes and value types out of the box.
- It's now possible to customize how Bootsharp treats specific types via specialization. This allows, for example, supporting
CancellationTokenas both exported and imported values while preserving the underlying CTS identity. - The interop shape is now projected into ES modules instead of a monolithic JS file, improving the UX when consuming the APIs on the JS side and making the generated package friendlier for modern bundlers.
The release also has many breaking changes; check the commits annotated with ! for details. I've intentionally accumulated all the major changes into a single release, so that we can update the downstream projects in a batch. From this point on, I expect no major breaking changes. Once #196 is resolved and Microsoft stabilizes their new WASM R2R compiler (replaces Mono for debug builds, we'll still use LLVM for release), I'll consider tagging 1.0.
Special thanks to @OptimusPi for financially supporting the project — it pushed me to improve Bootsharp beyond the needs of my own projects, making it more useful to the community. If you find Bootsharp helpful, please consider sponsoring me on GitHub.
