Zig versions

0.1.0

  • zig compilation and automatic nif generation
  • safety checks on ingress and egress data
  • documentation of zig code through ExDoc
  • unit test integration

0.1.1

Thanks to Dave Cottlehuber @dch for testing.

  • freebsd tested and unsupported Logger error removed.
  • zig documentation is now correctly linked.

0.1.2

  • updated documentation for mix zig_doc
  • fixed compilation so that importing zig stdlib doesn't error
  • added better compilation failures for bad types in args and retvals
  • added beam struct support for ok and error tuples

0.1.3

  • fixed error reporting for the /// nif: directive
  • added ok/error tuple with string
  • added c header path support
  • restored documentation for exceptions

0.2.0

  • general rewrite of nif parsing routines
  • initial support for resources
  • experimental addition of :dirty, :long and :safe function directives

0.3.0-pre

  • supported zig version: 0.6.0
  • disabled :long mode

0.3.0-pre3

  • support for (and autodetect) nerves
  • use erlang nif headers taken from the include directory of your erts.
  • correct and verified support for releases
  • adds a mechanism for patching errors in zig/llvm releases
  • adds ~z for substituted values
  • zigler fetches zig on compile when it's in prod.

0.3.0

  • verified that zig tests run correctly
  • updated documentation.
    • preliminary "under the hood" category.

0.3.1

  • support for amd64 in freebsd, (thanks @dch)

0.3.2

  • better support for nerves (thanks @fhunleth)
  • fixed documentation linking for bootstrap

0.7.1

  • upgraded to zig 0.7.1. From now on zigler version numbers will track Zig releases.
  • completed implementation of threaded nifs.
  • makes the interface to beam.send simpler and less confusing.
  • adds extra atom/tuple directives
  • important: changes the base module namespace from Zigler to Zig
  • readme and guides are now checked.
  • libraries are now brought into the staging directory.
  • unblocked windows compilation path. There are still some bugs. Thanks @seomwan
  • regressions:
    • Nerves support will have to be dropped until arm32 is tier 1. Use 0.3.2.
    • zigtests do not seem to work when libraries are loaded

0.7.2

  • note: this compiles with zig 0.7.1
  • important (breaking): semantics for beam.yield have changed. there is no longer any need to update the environment of the yielding function, and beam.yield() now returns !void
  • beam.yield is safely usable in non-yielding nifs.
  • Zigler now no longer automatically links libc. This may cause compilation problems on non-linux platforms. Please post any bug reports to github tracker.
  • thanks to (@dch and @wojtekmach for updating some dependency issues)

0.7.3

  • note: this compiles with zig 0.7.1
  • better platform matching for nerves cross-compliation (@fhunleth)

0.8.1

  • beam.assert deprecated. Use std.testing functions.
  • support for error-returning functions and error return traces merged with stacktraces.
  • support for cancellation of threaded nifs with beam.yield
  • better support for 'bring your own zig'; moved to library config function
  • tentative support for MacOS and FreeBSD targets
  • void returning functions now output :ok instead of nil

0.9.1

  • updated to zig 0.9.1, after allocgate
  • support for compling C and C++ files using zig cc
  • support for link_libcpp in addition to link_libc
  • special thanks to @jeremyowensboggs, who had a nicer upgrade implementation than mine.

0.10.1

  • complete overhaul of entire zig system
  • Breaking changes:
    • beam.get, beam.make
    • nif selection is no longer done using inline docstrings
      • select nifs using use Zig options.
    • zig test has been deprecated, and may return as a plugin library in the future
    • zig doc has been deprecated for general use, though can be used experimentally through Zig.Doc
    • yielding nifs are not supported, but will return in 0.11 due to zig async not working in 0.10.x

0.12.1

  • breakout zig.get into its own package to prevent dependency problems.
  • breakout zig.doc into its own package to prevent dependency problems.
  • versioning of .so files should track the version. This feature should be considered experimental.
  • use of threadlocal beam.context to keep contextual information for your NIF
    • major changes in beam.get and beam.make
    • .as option for beam.make with recursive descent
  • full range of on_load, on_update, and on_reload functions
  • optional allocator functions usable with nifs
  • better recursive typing
  • smarter beam.send
  • attributes imported as compile-time values

0.13.0

  • updated to zig 0.13.0

Upcoming

  • precompiled mode that will let you obtain packages with precompiled assets.
  • Breaking changes:
    • threadlocal context in function calls, elimination of passing beam.env into your functions
    • makes beam.get/make functions context-aware, with all context-dependent things overridable.

Possible

  • beam.call which lets you call back a beam function.
  • struct which lets you declare a struct inside your zig code as the module's struct
