RELEASES.md

Version ✨0.4✨ 🎉

EventHandler API

The EventHandler API is a new feature for scheduling work on the javascript main thread from other threads. Big thanks to @geovie for the RFC and implementation.

This feature is currently unstable and gated by a event-handler-api feature flag.

Improvements

• New project template updated for Rust 2018

Bug Fixes

• Workaround for nodejs/node-gyp#1933
• Docs build fixed
• Temporarily disable static tests which keep breaking CI

N-API

• Context/Isolate threading
• Scopes
• Strings
• Primitive values (numbers, undefined, null, boolean)

Version 0.3.3

Hot fix for neon build in projects with many dependencies.

Version 0.3.2

Bug fixes and Small Features

• Disable node module registration on test build, allowing cargo test to be used on neon modules
• Added support for alternate CARGO_TARGET_DIR locations (e.g., workspaces)
• Added macros to neon::prelude to improve ergonomics in Rust 2018
• Link win_delay_hook when building with electron-build-env, fixing Windows Electron
• Fixed missing __cxa_pure_virtual on Linux
• Copy native files into OUT_DIR and build there to fix cargo publish and follow best practices
• Eliminated mem::uniitialized() usage, reducing warnings and fixing an instance of undefined behavior

Potentially Breaking

The macOS link arguments were moved from neon-cli to neon-build. This is more idiomatic, but makes neon-build required for macOS builds where it was unnecessary before.

Since neon-build has been included in the project template since 0.1 this change was not deemed significant enough to warrant a major revision.

N-API

Neon 0.3.2 lays the groundwork for the next major revision. Development of Neon against an ABI stable Node API (N-API) will occur on master.

• Added legacy-runtime and n-api feature flags for toggling neon runtime
• Moved the legacy runtime to nodejs-sys crate
• Stubbed required n-api implementation
• Added feature flag to neon-cli to help configuring n-api projects

Version 0.3.1

• Build v0.3 project templates by default in the CLI

Version 0.3

Breaking Changes

• Removed support for Node 6

Bug Fixes

• Correctly fail the build if custom build command fails
• Fix breaking changes with v8 GetFunction
• Moved nan from devDependencies to dependencies in neon-runtime
• Changed neon crate type from dylib to cdylib
• Ensure that neon module loading is not optimized away

Improvements

• Added support for CARGO_BUILD_TARGET environment variable
