May 1, 2025May 2025 monthly summary for apache/trafficserver. Delivered expanded WebAssembly runtime support for the proxy-wasm plugin by adding Wasmtime and WasmEdge alongside the existing WAMR, increasing runtime portability and options for third-party plugins. Resolved a compilation issue with the wasm plugin and updated the proxy-wasm library usage, stabilizing the build. Updated CMake configuration, runtime discovery scripts, and documentation to reflect the new runtimes, reducing setup friction for operators and contributors. These changes extend plugin portability, improve deployment flexibility, and position Traffic Server for a broader range of WASM-based extensions.
