urbit-v1.13
Arvo 417K
Vere 1.13
This release makes the loom variably sized, up to a new maximum of 4GB.
The default remains 2GB -- opt for the max with `--loom 32`.
(NB: larger sizes may require adding swap space.)
Release Notes
- supports setting the loom size on startup. sizes are specified in
exponents of 2, from 1MB (20) to 4GB (32); can differ between processes
(`--loom` and `--urth-loom`); and can be set for relevant subcommands
(`meld`, `pack`, `next`, &c).
- improves bit-slice performance (for noun de/serialization and many atom jets)
by ensuring that implementation inner loops can be vectorized.
- adds the `vile` command, for exporting the keyfile from a ship
- adds the `%xray` hint, for printing the bytecode of a given expression
(ty ~topfet-parmed!)
- adds the `eval` command, for running hoon (from stdin) without booting a ship
(ty ~mopfel-winrux!)
- adds a better error message when a ship is already running as root
(ty ~dinleb-rambep!)
