Pony 0.21.1 is a recommended update. It fixes a stability edge-case where memory usage could climb out of control when a large number of scheduler threads were used when there was very little work to be done. Dynamic scheduler thread scaling based on workload Before Pony 0.21.1, the runtime would start up a specific number of scheduler threads on initialization; by default the same as the number of physical cores.
0.21.0 Released
Pony 0.21.0 is a recommended update. It’s a huge release for us as it contains many stability fixes as well as a variety of other improvements. It contains a breaking change related to as and match statements. Updating existing codebases should be relatively easy.

Upgrading pony-stable to 0.1.1 as soon as possible is recommended.
