This release brings support for Zig 0.15.x. Other than that, the big new feature is pthread emulation (using std.Thread and friends) in WebAssembly. It allows you to use multithreaded C libraries in the web-browser. pthread also works correctly now on Windows.
The work queue will now initialize itself automatically when all you need is a single thread. There’re also ways to generate generic startup and shutdown functions.
A test command was added to the CLI programs that let you run Zig test cases with proper build settings.
A number of critical bugs were fixed. You can see the full list in the changelog.

A number of critical bugs were fixed. You can see the full list in the changelog.
A version for 0.14.x with feature parity was released at the same time. I’ve also started publishing packages for master under the dev–tag for those who choose to experience Zig at the bleeding edge.
At this point, all major components have been implemented. You have threads and you have IO. From now on, the project is going focus mostly on tracking Zig development and creation of interesting and/or useful examples.
