Wild Linker 0.9 was released today as the latest version of this very fast linker for Linux systems that is written in the Rust programming language.

With Wild Linker 0.9 they have worked on porting to other platforms and as a result have done code refactoring around their ELF-specific behavior and other platform-specific bits. Among the porting work for Wild is code currently being drafted -- but not yet ready for use use -- for supporting Mac-O and WebAssembly targets.

Wild Linker 0.9 also now supports the Linker Plug-in API supported by GNU LD and Mold. This provides linker-plugin link time optimization (LTO) and other extensibility support moving forward.

There is also a variety of other refinements and new capabilities with Wild Linker 0.9 though no major performance changes are expected.
