  • Experimental encoding/json/v2: Better performance and API design
  • Enhanced Crypto/Security: Stricter TLS implementation, improved certificate validation

🔧 Development Tools

  • Trace Flight Recorder: Lightweight runtime execution trace capture
  • Improved Debugging: DWARF5 debug information for smaller binaries and faster builds

Platform Requirements & Breaking Changes

⚠️ Important Changes:

  • macOS: Now requires macOS 12 Monterey or later (was macOS 11 Big Sur)
  • TLS/Crypto: Stricter implementations may affect non-compliant servers
  • Generic Type Aliases: Now fully supported (graduated from experimental)

Implementation Results

✅ Successfully Completed:
