- Package management functionality moved from compiler to build system, improving safety and allowing easier patching.
- SPIR-V backend updated with new @SpirvType builtin, execution mode handling via calling convention, and multi-threaded codegen.
- @bitCast semantics redefined to use logical bit layout, making operations endian-agnostic and more consistent.
- ELF linker improvements support fast incremental compilation and can build the self-hosted Zig compiler with LLVM and LLD.
