Since there is a major version release every month for wasmtime, I wonder how often do we see the compatibility matrix gets updated?

Mossaka (Joe) (May 01 2023 at 22:41):I would also suggest to add a new column to the matrix called "Examples" and add some example repos showing how everything fitting together.
I'd like to use this repo as an example to demonstrate, given a world file, how to implement a host in rust, and a guest in Go and Rust, and run a HTTP server.
Peter Huene (May 01 2023 at 22:49):The intention is to do it every month or so, but I think we're going to need more contributors to updating the matrix to do it with a regular cadence; it's not as easy as just updating a list of versions as there's a heck of a lot of repositories that need updating all at once to at least attempt to synchronize on the underlying dependencies (specifically, wasm-tools and wasi preview2). The markdown for that blog post is here, which we can copy into future posts and tweak the variables.
Peter Huene (May 01 2023 at 22:49):I don't have the time right now to update it
Mossaka (Joe) (May 01 2023 at 22:57):Thanks for the link to the repo. Well I am certainly interested in helping out updating the matrix, but I need to know more about how you were able to verify the compatibility among these projects in the first place. I could imagine that you ran some tests in the repos and verify that they all work as expected. I wonder if there are some "global" projects that you use to verify all the dependencies were synchronized and working.
Mossaka (Joe) (May 01 2023 at 23:23):I tried to find a rev of host that could work with wasmtime 8.0.0 but unfortunately it seems like newer commits depend on wasmtime 9 and older commits depend on wasmtime 7.
Pat Hickey (May 02 2023 at 03:30):sorry, things are moving fast and we needed bugfixes that didnt make it into 8
Pat Hickey (May 02 2023 at 03:30):or, i guess, features added to the bindgen macro
Pat Hickey (May 02 2023 at 03:30):we cant reasonably back them out to get compatibility with 8
Pat Hickey (May 02 2023 at 03:31):the host crate is going away, its soon to be a shadow of itself in the repo (see open PRs) as we prep the rewritten state of wasi-common in that repo
Pat Hickey (May 02 2023 at 03:37):i am really very serious about trying to land this stuff in wasmtime this month. we will see
Pat Hickey (May 02 2023 at 03:37):i have also been serious about it every other month this year, too
