# Compatibility Notes
- The WebAssembly target features `multivalue` and `reference-types` are now
both enabled by default. These two features both have subtle changes implied
for generated WebAssembly binaries. For the `multivalue` feature, WebAssembly
target support has changed when upgrading to LLVM 19. Support for generating
functions with multiple returns no longer works and
`-Ctarget-feature=+multivalue` has a different meaning than it did in LLVM 18
and prior. There is no longer any supported means to generate a module that has
a function with multiple returns in WebAssembly from Rust source code. For the
`reference-types` feature the encoding of immediates in the `call_indirect`, a
commonly used instruction by the WebAssembly backend, has changed. Validators
and parsers which don't understand the `reference-types` proposal will no
longer accept modules produced by LLVM due to this change in encoding of
immediates. Additionally these features being enabled are encoded in the
`target_features` custom section and may affect downstream tooling such as
`wasm-opt` consuming the module. Generating a WebAssembly module that disables
default features requires `-Zbuild-std` support from Cargo and more information
