Wasmer 7.0 is out today for this WebAssembly "WASM" run-time for enabling lightweight containers that can run "anywhere" from the desktop to cloud and the edge. The security-minded and extensible WASM runtime provided by Wasmer has already proven to be quite robust while with Wasmer 7.0 has become even more featureful.

Wasmer 7.0 introduces a new WASIX context switching API, an experimental async API, full support for dynamic linking with WASIX, and usability enhancements like a progress bar during Wasmer compilation. For those new to the WebAssembly world, the WASIX ABI allows for networking, multi-threading, and other features as a significant improvement over the WASI ABI.

Wasmer 7.0 also has enhanced the debugging experience, added RISC-V 64-bit support to the Singlepass compiler, exception handling is added to the Cranelift compiler code, and there are also LLVM updates.
