Fpm version 0.8.1 released
- 11 April 2023
- Category: release
This release introduces a hotfix for the automated dependency tree feature introduced in v0.8.0. Fpm now restored backward-compatible dependency priority, which ensures that, whenever different versions of the same dependency are found down the dependency tree, the first and foremost is used. Unnecessary dependency updates are also shed from the build process.
Fpm version 0.8.0 released

This release introduces support for enabling and disabling language features in fpm, such as implicit typing or default source form. By default, fpm now tries to disable implicit typing rules, implicit external interfaces and assumes the source form is always free. The options can be overwritten in the manifest for each project.
Fpm version 0.6.0 released
- 19 June 2022
- Category: release
This release introduces a better visualization for the build output, compiler output is only shown on error to keep the standard output clean for successful builds. Furthermore, fpm can now detect unused modules and avoids compiling modules that are not needed for an application, which improves the compilation speed with large dependencies like stdlib. When creating a new project with fpm the author information are now taken from the git configuration to avoid using placeholders in the manifest. Several more bug fixes and plenty of improvements went into this version as well.
Fpm version 0.5.0 released
- 21 November 2021
- Category: release
We have a large number of bug fixes in this release and made plenty of improvements to the tooling around fpm, like the continuous delivery and the Windows installer. New features include the possibility for better compiler/linker selection and the improved build backend (test are only build when needed, link dependencies are properly tracked).
