Version bump 0.8.2 → 0.8.3, releasing the per-binding throughput benchmark work (merged in #246). Bumped via `ScriptHelpers/bump_version.py` across all manual touchpoints — `Cargo.toml`, `pyproject.toml`, the Node `package.json` + 6 platform packages + both lockfiles, the Java `pom.xml`s + README, the C# `.csproj`, the R `DESCRIPTION` — plus `Cargo.lock` (via `cargo build`) and the `CHANGELOG.md` `[0.8.3]` section and compare URLs. CHANGELOG `[0.8.3]`: - Per-binding throughput benchmarks for all 9 targets (BENCHMARKS.md §3). - C ABI archetype test (`examples/c/archetypes.c`). `cargo fmt`, `cargo test --workspace --all-features` (all green) and `cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets --all-features -D warnings` pass. The docs/webpage version strings are bumped by `sync-about.yml` on the `v*` tag — not touched here.
Wickra — .NET
Streaming-first technical indicators for .NET. dotnet add package Wickra —
prebuilt native library, no system dependencies.
Wickra is a multi-language technical-analysis library with a Rust core and
bindings for Python, Node.js and WebAssembly, plus a C ABI for C/C++, C#, Go, Java, R and any
other C-capable language. Every indicator is an O(1)
streaming state machine, so live trading bots and historical backtests share
the exact same implementation. This package is the .NET binding; it consumes the
C ABI hub through [LibraryImport] P/Invoke and exposes all 514 streaming-first
indicators as idiomatic IDisposable classes.
Install
dotnet add package Wickra
The native library ships prebuilt per platform (Linux, macOS, Windows — x64 and
arm64) under runtimes/<rid>/native/, selected automatically. There is nothing
to compile. Targets .NET 8 and later.
Quick start
using Wickra;
// Batch: run an indicator over a whole series (NaN at warmup positions).
var prices = Enumerable.Range(0, 1000).Select(i => 100.0 + i * 0.1).ToArray();
using var sma = new Sma(20);
double[] values = sma.Batch(prices);
// Streaming: the same indicator, fed tick by tick in O(1).
using var rsi = new Rsi(14);
foreach (var price in liveFeed)
{
var value = rsi.Update(price); // NaN during warmup, no recomputation
if (double.IsFinite(value) && value > 70)
{
Console.WriteLine("overbought");
}
}
Batch(prices) and feeding the same prices through Update() produce identical
values — the equivalence is enforced by the test suite. Multi-output indicators
(MACD, Bollinger, ADX, …) return a nullable record struct, null while warming up.
Benchmark
benchmarks/ reports streaming and batch updates-per-second for SMA, ATR
and MACD. It measures this binding's FFI overhead, not a cross-library ratio
(the same Rust core runs under every binding) — see the repository
BENCHMARKS.md §3.

Wickra ships native bindings for Python, Node.js, WebAssembly and Rust, plus a
C ABI hub that any C-capable language (C, C++, Go, C#, Java, R) links against —
all exposing the same indicators from the shared, unsafe-forbidden Rust core.
Disclaimer
Wickra is an indicator toolkit, not a trading system. The values it computes are deterministic transforms of the input data — they are not financial advice and do not predict the market. Any use in a live trading context is at your own risk. The library is provided as is, without warranty of any kind.
