This version of Wasmbox upgrades to Wasmtime v10.0.0.
Asynchronous Execution!
This version of Wasmbox introduces a major new feature; async execution.
Clicking the new "asyncify" checkbox on the importer will automatically transform the imported WASM code to support async execution. This allows executing code to be suspended in one frame and resumed on another frame, or even moved to the Unity job system so that it executes on another thread.
Check out the two new demo scenes, async demo and async jobs demo, to see how to use this powerful feature!
Importer Speedup
In previous versions of Wasmbox importing .wasm and .wat files could be quite slow, around 30 seconds per file. Once you have a large collection of .wasm/.wat files in your project (for example our test project has over 100 wasm files) a full reimport could take a very long time! This has now been fixed - imports are around 100x faster for most files in this version.
