WasmKit 0.4.0 is now available.

This release is mostly about three things:

  1. The interpreter got roughly twice as fast
  2. The engine and its GDB stub now run on microcontrollers via Embedded Swift support
  3. Support for a few more post-MVP features (Relaxed SIMD, Extended Constant Expressions, and Threads) and WASI Preview 1 Threads.
