Changes
This release fixes two compiler bugs which became apparent with the upgrade to LLVM 18.
Since LLVM 18 the alignment of some types has changed (e.g. Int128 goes from 8 to 16 byte alignment).
The compiler didn’t expect an alignment bigger than 8 bytes in some cases.
These misalignments are now fixed (#14906, #14843).
Thanks @HertzDevil
Other bug fixes are atomic allocation for ReferenceStorage(T) if T has no inner pointers (#14845)
and explicitly clearing deleted Hash::Entry (#14862).
Thanks @HertzDevil
