This document describes changes between tagged Emscripten SDK versions.

Note that in the compiler, version numbering is used as the mechanism to invalidate internal compiler caches, so version numbers do not necessarily reflect the amount of changes between versions.

To browse or download snapshots of old tagged versions, visit https://github.com/kripken/emscripten/releases .

Not all changes are documented here. In particular, new features, user-oriented fixes, options, command-line parameters, usage changes, deprecations, significant internal modifications and optimizations etc. generally deserve a mention. To examine the full set of changes between versions, visit the link to full changeset diff at the end of each section.

This is because the relaxed rule is released only in Firefox 26 which which is currently in Beta and ships on the week of December 10th (currently in Beta). As of writing, current stable Firefox 25 does not yet support these.
  • Adjusted the default linker behavior to warn about all missing symbols, instead of silently ignoring them. Use -s WARN_ON_UNDEFINED_SYMBOLS=0 to suppress these warnings if necessary.
