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.
- Fixed a Windows-specific issue where the generated output files might contain line endings of form \r\r\n. This caused browser debuggers to get confused with line numbers. (#2133)
- Improved the node.js workaround introduced in v1.21.8.
- Implemented new HTML5 API for direct WebGL context creation, emscripten_webgl_*().
- Fixed a bug when loading in node.js and loaded by another module (#2586)
- Fixed an issue when using --embed-file to embed very large files.
- Worked around a Windows node.js bug where the compiler output might get cut off when the compilation ends in an error. (https://github.com/joyent/node/issues/1669)
- Added new link option -s EMCC_ONLY_FORCED_STDLIBS which can be used to restrict to only linking to the chosen set of Emscripten-provided libraries. (See also -s EMCC_FORCE_STDLIBS)
- Adjusted argv[0] and environment variables USER, HOME, LANG and _ to report a more convenient set of default values. (#2565)
- Fixed an issue where the application could not use environ without also referring to getenv() (#2557)

- Improved the linker to generate warning messages if user specifies -s X=Y linker flags that do not exist (#2579)
- Fixed an issue with creating read-only files (#2573)
- Added first implementation for the ASYNCIFY option, which splits up synchronous blocking loops to asynchronous execution. For more information on this approach, see https://github.com/kripken/emscripten/wiki/Asyncify
- Separated OpenAL AL and ALC errors to properly separate fields.
- When using EGL to initialize a GL context, initialize a stencil buffer to the context as well, since proper EGL context choosing is not yet implemented.
- Added new linker flag -s DEMANGLE_SUPPORT to choose whether to compile the application with libcxxabi-provided demangling support ___cxa_demangle().
- Fixed a problem where calling stat() on a nonexisting file in the runtime VFS would result in an exception being thrown. (#2552)
- When using the -v flag, no longer retain intermediate compilation files. To preserve the intermediate files, set the EMCC_DEBUG=1 environment variable. (#2538)

- Improved ffdb.py to be smarter when to attempt port forwarding to connect to a FFOS device DevTools port.
- Enable memory init files (.mem) by default in optimized builds (-O2+), as if --memory-init-file 1 is specified. This makes the default behavior on optimized builds emit smaller and faster-to-load code, but does require that you ship both a .js and a .mem file (if you prefer not to, can use --memory-init-file 1 ).
- Implemented new SDL 1.2 functions SDL_GetRGB, SDL_GetRGBA and SDL_putenv.

- Fixed a crash in SDL audio loading code introduced in v1.18.3
- Fixed an issue where glTex(Sub)Image2D might throw an exception on error, instead of setting glGetError().
- Added new typedefs emscripten_align1_short, emscripten_align{1/2}_int, emscripten_align{1/2}_float and emscripten_align{1/2/4}_double to ease signaling the compiler that unaligned data is present. (#2378)
- Fixed an embind issue with refcount tracking on smart pointers.
- Fixed an issue where the mouse wheel scroll did not work with SDL.
- Fixed an issue with emscripten_async_wget, which undesirably expected that the string pointer passed to it stayed alive for the duration of the operation (#2349)
- Emscripten now issues a warning message when the EXPORTED_FUNCTIONS list contains invalid symbol names (#2338)
- Added new user-controllable emdind-related define #define EMSCRIPTEN_HAS_UNBOUND_TYPE_NAMES, which allows optimizing embind for minimal size when std::type_info is not needed.
- Fixed issues with CMake support where CMAKE_AR and CMAKE_RANLIB were not accessible from CMakeLists.txt files.

- Implemented the EGL function eglWaitGL().
- Fixed an issue with the HTML5 API that caused the HTML5 event listener unregistration to fail.
- Fixed issues with numpad keys in SDL support library.
- Added a new JS optimizer pass 'simplifyIfs', which is run when -s SIMPLIFY_IFS=1 link flag is set and -g is not specified. This pass merges multiple nested if()s together into single comparisons, where possible.
- Removed false positive messages on missing internal "emscripten_xxx" symbols at link stage.
- Disallow C implicit function declarations by making it an error instead of a warning by default. These will not work with Emscripten, due to strict Emscripten signature requirements when calling function pointers (#2175).

- Improved EGL support and GLES2 spec conformance.
- Reverted -s TOTAL_MEMORY=x to require pow2 values, instead of the relaxed 'multiples of 16MB'. 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.
