Experimenting with WebAssembly Components, WASI 0.2.0 and Registries in Spin 2.6

Fermyon

Spin 2.6 introduces several enhancements, including experimentation with WebAssembly components, WASI 0.2.0, and registries. The update allows building WASI-HTTP components using the Rust Spin SDK without a Spin application’s manifest. Additionally, the release supports referencing components from OCI-compliant registries and introduces conformance tests for Spin applications across different runtime implementations. The update includes a breaking change related to Wasmtime 21 and plans to deprecate older Wasm modules with memory safety bugs. Contributors and community members are thanked for their efforts.

Breaking Changes and Upcoming Deprecation

Just the name of a framework that even CNN would be proud of.

Tech is interesting, the TL;DR here really isn’t. Release notes are cool and all, but only helpful for existing customers. Add a brief one liner and then something about the patch notes.

perhaps it would be nice to say what is spin right up front? I’m just going to hide this now.
