The next Crystal release, 1.15 is scheduled for January 9.
As usual, this is precluded by a two-week feature freeze period, starting December 25. We’ll be using this time until the release to consolidate the changes and fix bugs.
A preview of the release notes is available: Crystal 1.15.0 is released! - The Crystal Programming Language (PR: #878)
Some of the highlights:
- New Event Loop for Unix systems
- Updated formatter rules
- Support for additional Windows platforms: MSYS2, MinGW-w64 and Aarch64
- More portable
Process::Status
Behind the scenes we’re continuously improving the concurrency runtime and started integrating multi-theaded execution contexts from GitHub - ysbaddaden/execution_context (RFC 2).
You can find all changes in the (provisional) changelog (PR: #15277).
There will be further additions to these resources as we merge additional changes.
The current HEAD of the master branch serves as a preview of the release. We appreciate any report of regressions caused by our latest nightly builds.
Instructions for installing nightly builds are available at Nightlies - The Crystal Programming Language
