Wasmer 4.4 Released To Continue Pushing Universal Apps With WebAssembly

Written by Michael Larabel in Programming on 6 October 2024 at 09:04 AM EDT. 11 Comments

Wasmer 4.4 is out as the newest version to this prominent WebAssembly (WASM) runtime that supports WASIX / WASI / EmScripten to "run software anywhere" by effectively serving as lightweight containers and being able to scale from the edge to the cloud.

This open-source, universal WebAssembly runtime continues to be one of the most robust offerings for those interested in WebAssembly on the desktop. With Wasmer 4.4 there is support added for object size estimation, better proxy handling, improved executable spawning, and various fixes. Not the most exciting release on its own but another incremental step forward for the already solid base found with Wasmer 4.x.
