v6.1.5

• Bumped default ZigVersion from 0.14.0 to 0.14.1.
• Added TargetSystemVersion value 0.1.0 for wasi-wasm.
• Changed LinkTimeOptimization to be false by default.
  • Some targets still have subtle LTO bugs, and Zig will soon stop supporting LTO due to dropping its LLD dependency anyway.

v6.0.93

• Bumped default ZigVersion from 0.13.0 to 0.14.0.
• Bumped TargetSystemVersion for linux-ppc64le from 3.10 to 3.14.
  • Linux does not support this target in prior versions.
• Added support for linux-loongarch64, linux-riscv64, and linux-s390x.
  • Note that linux-loongarch64 and linux-s390x do not yet have native toolset packages.
• Added more RIDs to the default RuntimeIdentifiers.
  • linux-loongarch64
  • linux-ppc64le
  • linux-riscv64
  • linux-s390x
  • linux-musl-loongarch64
  • linux-musl-ppc64le
  • linux-musl-riscv64
  • linux-musl-s390x

v5.2.12

• Added support for wasi-wasm.
  • Note that there is no support for building static libraries yet.
• Added a NoEntryPoint property to allow building executables without an entry point.
• Added an ExecutionModel property to control the execution model for WebAssembly executables (Command or Reactor).
• Fixed QEMU detection to use qemu-ppc64le instead of qemu-ppc64.
• Added support for using Wasmtime as a WebAssembly emulator.

v5.1.3

• Changed UnicodeEnvironment to also control the _UNICODE macro (in addition to UNICODE).
• Changed TargetFramework property from netstandard1.0 to netstandard2.0 to address a NETSDK1215 warning in .NET 9.
  • This should not cause any functional changes as the target framework is irrelevant for projects using the Zig SDK.

v5.0.112

• Bumped default ZigVersion from 0.11.0 to 0.13.0.
• Changed default LanguageStandard for C projects from gnu2x to gnu23.
• Changed default LanguageStandard for C++ projects from gnu++2c to gnu++23.
• Removed the CompilerMode property.
  • Instead, the SDK now sets the Language property (Zig, C, Cxx) based on project file extension (.zigproj, .cproj, .cxxproj).
• Bumped TargetLibraryVersion for linux-ppc64le from 2.17 to 2.19.
  • glibc does not support this target in prior versions.
• Changed LinkTimeOptimization to be true by default.
• Added a UnicodeEnvironment property to control the UNICODE macro and wmain/wWinMain usage on Windows.
• Added a BufferAnalysis property to control -Wunsafe-buffer-usage.
• Enabled -Winvalid-utf8 by default at WarningLevel=1 and above.
• Enabled -Wincompatible-function-pointer-types-strict by default at WarningLevel=4 and above.
• Removed the ZIG_GLOBAL_CACHE_DIR workaround as the bug it was working around appears to have been fixed.
  • This should result in noticeably faster builds in general.
• Fixed EditorSupport logic to produce correct JSON on Unix systems.

v4.2.16

• Changed OutputType to accept WinExe in addition to Exe and Library.
• Added support for setting the executable subsystem based on OutputType when targeting Windows.
• Added ImageBase and DynamicImageBase properties to control load location on Windows.
• Added StackSize property for controlling the main thread's stack size.
• Added AllowUndefinedSymbols property for controlling whether libraries are allowed to have undefined references.
  • This is particularly useful when building plugins.
• Added AsyncExceptions property that controls whether standard C++ try/catch statements can catch SEH exceptions on Windows.
• Fixed Pack not working correctly when a RuntimeIdentifier was explicitly set (turning the build into an inner build).
  • This will now create a package with artifacts for just the single RID.
• Fixed a number of bugs and shortcomings related to emulator detection.
  • Fixed QEMU detection to use qemu-i386 instead of qemu-x86.
  • Fixed QEMU detection to use qemu-ppc64 instead of qemu-powerpc64le.
  • Fixed WSL/QEMU detection logic when the host architecture is 64-bit Arm.
  • Fixed Wine detection incorrectly using wine64 instead of wine for 64-bit.
  • Changed Wine detection to only use Wine if the host and target architectures are the exact same.
  • Fixed Darling detection to only use Darling when the host architecture is 64-bit x86.
  • Changed Darling detection to allow using Darling when the target architecture is 32-bit x86.
  • Added support for using Rosetta 2 to run 64-bit x86 binaries on 64-bit Arm.
• Added informative IsOuterBuild property (set by the SDK) indicating whether the current build is an outer or inner build.
  • An outer build is one that is going to dispatch multiple builds for all RuntimeIdentifiers.
  • An inner build is one that is building for a specific RuntimeIdentifier.
  • This applies to Build, Clean, and Publish.
• Exposed target extension points OuterBuild/InnerBuild, OuterClean/InnerClean, and OuterPublish/InnerPublish.

v4.1.3

• Added support for linux-ppc64le.
  • Note that it is not yet part of the default RuntimeIdentifiers.

v4.0.164

• Set TargetSystemVersion for Windows to win8 rather than win10 in accordance with .NET support policy.
  • This was mistakenly changed from win7 to win10 in v4.0.154.
• Changed CoreCompile to generate a friendly error message if no source files exist in the project.

v4.0.154

• Retargeted MSBuild tasks assembly from net472; net6.0 to netstandard2.0.
• Bumped default ZigVersion from 0.9.1 to 0.11.0.
• Bumped TargetSystemVersion for macOS from 10.14 to 11.7 in accordance with Zig support policy.
• Bumped TargetSystemVersion for Windows from win7 to win10 in accordance with .NET support policy.
• Changed HostAbi/TargetAbi for macOS from gnu to none.
• Changed HostArchitecture/TargetArchitecture for 32-bit x86 from i386 to x86.
• Added linux-arm, osx-arm64, and win-arm64 to the default RuntimeIdentifiers.
• Changed optimization levels for C/C++ projects to be in line with Zig projects.
  • Configuration=Debug: -Og -> -O0
  • Configuration=Release, ReleaseMode=Fast: -O3 -> -O2
  • Configuration=Release, ReleaseMode=Safe: -O2 -fsanitize=undefined (unchanged)
  • Configuration=Release, ReleaseMode=Small: -Oz -> -Os

v3.2.3

• Added LinkerDirectory and LinkerReference items for consuming third-party libraries through linker search paths.
• Added a UseMicrosoftAbi property that can be used to switch to the MSVC ABI when targeting Windows.
  • Note that this is incompatible with cross-compilation from non-Windows platforms.
