Wasmer 4.3 is out as the newest version of this WebAssembly (WASM) runtime that supports WASIX, WASI, and EmScript execution. This cross-platform WASM runtime continues to be focused on driving lightweight containers that can run anywhere in a very secure manner.

The Rust-written Wasmer 4.3 brings an improved deployment workflow, support for unnamed packages, and Wasmer is now 25% faster on cold start-ups. Wasmer in general should also be more stable and there are a variety of bug fixes and other enhancements to find with this new version.
