v0.0.4

Release Notes - Version 0.0.4

Overview

Version 0.0.4 brings significant performance improvements, better memory efficiency, enhanced testing infrastructure, and important bug fixes to the Proxy-Wasm Java Host implementation.

🚀 New Features

Optimizations

• Lazy Request Body Loading: Refactored request body handling so that it's not loaded into memory unless the WASM Pluign needs it
• Lazy Response Body Loading: Refactored response body handling so that it's not loaded into memory unless the WASM Pluign needs it.
• Lazy Plugin Startup: WASM modules now don't get started, until the a request needs to use the module.

Enhanced Testing Infrastructure

• TomEE Integration Tests: Added a comprehensive TomEE integration test module to ensure compatibility with TomEE application server
• Improved Build Configuration: Enhanced build setup and configuration management

Runtime Upgrades

• Chicory Runtime v1.4.0: Upgraded to the latest Chicory WASM runtime for improved performance and stability

💥 Breaking Changes

• Plugin Builder Relocation: BREAKING CHANGE - Moved the builder from the Plugin class to the PluginFactory class. This change improves the API design but requires code updates:

  Before:

  () -> Plugin.builder(module)
      .withName("waf")
      .build();

  After:

  PluginFactory.builder(module)
      .withName("waf")
      .build();
