Fixed issues:

• Fixed WASI-NN issues.
  • Fixed the definition of wasi_nn::TensorType to prevent from comparing with dirty data.

Known issues:

• Universal WASM format failed on MacOS platforms.
  • In current status, the universal WASM format output of the AOT compiler with the O1 or upper optimizations on MacOS platforms will cause bus error when execution.
  • We are trying to fix this issue. For working around, please use the --optimize=0 to set the compiler optimization level to O0 in wasmedgec CLI.
• WasmEdge CLI failed on Windows 10 issue.
  • Please refer to here for the workaround if the msvcp140.dll is missing occurs.
• Plug-in linking on MacOS platforms.
  • The plug-in on MacOS platforms will cause symbol not found when dynamic linking.
  • We are trying to fix this issue. For working around, please implement the host modules instead of plug-ins.
