v2 Alpha 1

[ziflex]

This is the first public alpha release of Ferret v2. It introduces the foundation of the new runtime and embedding model and is intended for early adopters who want to explore the new architecture and provide feedback. This release is not yet considered stable, and some APIs may still change before the final v2 release.

What’s new

Too much has changed to fit here comfortably. More detailed write-ups will follow in dedicated blog posts.

Very briefly:

• new v2 runtime and architecture
• new syntax features
• new embedding API
• web drivers moved to a separate contrib repository

What’s not ready yet

At this stage, the focus is mainly on integration and stability. A few important things are still in progress:

• the API is still subject to change
• documentation is still minimal
• some language and runtime features are not implemented yet
• debugger and advanced tooling are not included yet
• browser-related integrations are still catching up with the new architecture

Feedback

This release is primarily about early feedback. If you try it, reports about issues, rough edges, and API ergonomics are especially welcome.
