Latest

Elide 1.5.4

Experimental native transport v2, faster HTTP serving, JVM metrics, and clearer profiling and tooling diagnostics.

Release archive

Added

Opt into the experimental Rust-owned TCP/TLS transport with --transport=v2 or ELIDE_TRANSPORT_V2=1. An explicit --transport flag takes precedence; auto keeps the existing default.
Record JVM application metrics through ElideMeterProvider, an OpenTelemetry-compatible provider backed by Rust. Counters, gauges, histograms, and observable instruments support OTLP/HTTP export, scheduled collection, and explicit flushing. Configure and install the provider explicitly.

Changed

Serve static files through a new native HTTP engine with cached-file revalidation.
Reduce HTTP request overhead with native HTTP/1 parsing and response encoding for transport v2, cached URL parsing and header names, and fewer per-response allocations.
Reduce JavaScript allocation and execution overhead in URL, header, buffer, and filesystem operations.
Improve native startup and reduce the distribution footprint by consolidating cryptography on AWS-LC and trimming runtime dependencies.

Fixed

Collect CLI profiler results after asynchronous work and exit handlers finish, including Python project entry points.
Print profiler results when a long-running program is stopped with Ctrl+C, with bounded shutdown reporting.
Show expected build-tool failures as user-friendly errors instead of stack traces or crash reports, and render Java and Kotlin compiler diagnostics consistently in direct tool calls and project builds.
