Releasing v0.6.0 |

The Gloo team is happy to announce a new version of Gloo: v0.6.0. Gloo is a modular toolkit for building fast, reliable Web applications and libraries with Rust and WASM.
This release focuses on adding new features and crates.
Gloo workers are a way to offload tasks to web workers. These are run concurrently using web-workers.
This feature has been requested and overdue for a while. Gloo-worker is made by
moving yew-agent
to Gloo, while making it framework independent in the process.
This allows us to have a neat abstraction over the browser's Web Workers API which can be consumed from anywhere.
This release has been light on new features. The only improvement is gloo_utils
now providing a new wrapper
to obtain the document head
.
Last release, Gloo v0.5.0 did not receive its own blog post. That released introduced one major new crate: gloo-history
amongst other small improvements, which can be found in the GitHub changelog.
Gloo history provides wrappers for browser's history API. It exposes ergonomic Rust APIs for the browser's APIs which
can be used to build other tools. In fact, yew-router
has been
reworked to use gloo-history
under-the-hood.
Gloo project is in need of contributors. It would be really appreciated if you could contribute or raise awareness about the Gloo project.
