| 47 | Changed the API for creating object groups used during garbage |
| 48 | collection. Entire object groups are now passed to V8 instead of |
| 49 | individual members of the groups. |

| 77 | |
| 78 | Changed the type of names of counters from wchar_t to char. |
| 79 | |

| 108 | |
| 109 | Restricted applications of eval so it can only be used in the |
| 110 | context of the associated global object. |

| 171 | functions (issue 77) to the API. |
| 172 | |

| 191 | |
| 192 | Improved string hash-code distribution by excluding bit-field bits |
| 193 | from the hash-code. |
| 194 | |
| 195 | Changed string search algorithm used in indexOf from KMP to |

| 214 | |
| 215 | Changed the toString behavior on the built-in object constructors |
| 216 | to print [native code] instead of the actual source. Some web |

| 222 | |
| 223 | Changed Array.prototype.sort to use quick sort. |
| 224 | |
| 225 | Fixed code generation issue where leaving a finally block with |
| 226 | break or continue would accumulate elements on the expression |
| 227 | stack (issue 86). |
| 228 | |
| 229 | Made sure that the name accessor on functions returns the expected |
| 230 | names for builtin JavaScript functions and C++ callback functions. |
| 231 | |
| 232 | Added fast case code for extending the property storage array of |
| 233 | JavaScript objects. |

| 247 | |
| 248 | Improved handling of relocation information to enable more |
| 249 | peep-hole optimizations. |
| 250 | |
| 251 | Optimized switch statements where all labels are constant small |
| 252 | integers. |
| 253 | |
| 254 | Optimized String.prototype.indexOf for common cases. |
| 255 | |
| 256 | Fixed more build issues (issue 80). |
| 257 | |
| 258 | Fixed a couple of profiler issues. |
| 259 | |
| 260 | Fixed bug where the body of a function created using the Function |
| 261 | constructor was not allowed to end with a single-line comment |
| 262 | (issue 85). |
| 263 | |
| 264 | Improved handling of object literals by canonicalizing object |
| 265 | literal maps. This will allow JSON objects with the same set of |
| 266 | properties to share the same map making inline caching work better |
| 267 | for JSON objects. |

| 271 | |
| 272 | Generalized the EvalCache into a CompilationCache and enabled it |
| 273 | for scripts too. The current strategy is to retire all entries |
| 274 | whenever a mark-sweep collection is started. |
| 275 | |
| 276 | Fixed bug where switch statements containing only a default case |
| 277 | would lead to an unbalanced stack (issue 69). |
| 278 | |
| 279 | Fixed bug that made access to the function in a named function |
| 280 | expression impossible in certain situations (issue 24). |
| 281 | |
| 282 | Fixed even more build issues. |
| 283 | |
| 284 | Optimized calling conventions on ARM. The conventions on ARM and |
| 285 | IA-32 now match. |
| 286 | |
| 287 | Removed static initializers for flags and counters. |
| 288 | |
| 289 | Improved inline caching behavior for uncommon cases where lazily |
| 290 | loading Date and RegExp code could force certain code paths go |
| 291 | megamorphic. |
| 292 | |
| 293 | Removed arguments adaption for builtins written in C++. This |

| 305 | code space into old data space and code space. |
| 306 | |
| 307 | Added utf-8 conversion support to the API (issue 57). |
| 308 | |
| 309 | Optimized repeated calls to eval with the same strings. These |
| 310 | repeated calls are common in web applications. |
| 311 | |
| 312 | Added Xcode project file. |
| 313 | |
| 314 | Optimized a couple of Array operation. |
| 315 | |
| 316 | Fixed parser bug by checking for end-of-string when parsing break |
| 317 | and continue (issue 35). |
| 318 | |
| 319 | Fixed problem where asian characters were not categorized as |
| 320 | letters. |
| 321 | |

| 325 | Fixed bug where the internal field count on object templates were |
| 326 | sometimes ignored (issue 54). |
| 327 | |
| 328 | Added -f option to the shell sample for compatibility with other |
| 329 | engines (issue 18). |
| 330 | |
| 331 | Added source info to TryCatches in the API. |
| 332 | |
| 333 | Fixed problem where the seed for the random number generator was |
| 334 | clipped in a double to unsigned int conversion. |
| 335 | |
| 336 | Fixed bug where cons string symbols were sometimes converted to |
| 337 | non-symbol flat strings during GC. |

| 351 | |
| 352 | Changed Date.prototype.toLocaleTimeString to not print the |

| 360 | |
| 361 | Renamed the top level directory 'public' to 'include'. |
| 362 | |
| 363 | Added 'env' option to the SCons build scripts to support |
| 364 | overriding the ENV part of the build environment. This is mostly |
| 365 | to support Windows builds in cases where SCons cannot find the |
| 366 | correct paths to the Windows SDK, as these paths cannot be passed |
| 367 | through shell environment variables. |
| 368 | |
| 369 | Enabled "Buffer Security Check" on for the Windows SCons build and |
| 370 | added the linker option /OPT:ICF as an optimization. |
| 371 | |
| 372 | Added the V8 benchmark suite to the repository. |

| 378 | |
| 379 | Changed the shell sample to not print the result of executing a |
| 380 | script provided on the command line. |
| 381 | |
| 382 | Fixed issue when building samples on Windows using a shared V8 |
| 383 | library. Added visibility option on Linux build which makes the |
| 384 | generated library 18% smaller. |
| 385 | |
| 386 | Changed build system to accept multiple build modes in one build |
| 387 | and generate separate objects, libraries and executables for each |
| 388 | mode. |
| 389 | |
| 390 | Removed deferred negation optimization (a * -b => -(a * b)) since |
| 391 | this visibly changes operand conversion order. |
| 392 | |
| 393 | Improved parsing performance by introducing stack guard in |
| 394 | preparsing. Without a stack guard preparsing always bails out |
| 395 | with stack overflow. |
| 396 | |
| 397 | Changed shell sample to take flags directly from the command-line. |
| 398 | Added API call that implements this. |
| 399 | |
| 400 | Added load, quit and version functions to the shell sample so it's |
| 401 | easier to run benchmarks and tests. |
| 402 | |
| 403 | Fixed issue with building samples and cctests on 64-bit machines. |
| 404 | |
| 405 | Fixed bug in the runtime system where the prototype chain was not |

mads.s.ager | cbaa060 | 2008-08-14 13:41:48 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 410 | 2008-08-14: Version 0.2.3 |
| 411 | |
| 412 | Improved performance of garbage collection by moving the |
| 413 | function that updates pointers during compacting collection |
| 414 | into the updating visitor. This gives the compiler a better |
| 415 | chance to inline and avoid a function call per (potential) |
| 416 | pointer. |
| 417 | |
| 418 | Extended the shell sample with a --runtime-flags option. |
| 419 | |
| 420 | Added Visual Studio project files for the shell.cc and |
| 421 | process.cc samples. |
| 422 | |
| 423 | |
| 424 | 2008-08-13: Version 0.2.2 |
mads.s.ager | 31e7138 | 2008-08-13 09:32:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 425 | |
| 426 | Improved performance of garbage collection by changing the way |
| 427 | we use the marking stack in the event of stack overflow during |
| 428 | full garbage collection and by changing the way we mark roots. |
| 429 | |
| 430 | Cleaned up ARM version by removing top of stack caching and by |
| 431 | introducing push/pop elimination. |
| 432 | |
| 433 | Cleaned up the way runtime functions are called to allow |
| 434 | runtime calls with no arguments. |
| 435 | |
| 436 | Changed Windows build options to make sure that exceptions are |
| 437 | disabled and that optimization flags are enabled. |
| 438 | |
| 439 | Added first version of Visual Studio project files. |
| 440 | |

mads.s.ager@gmail.com | 769cc96 | 2008-08-06 10:02:49 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 443 | |
| 444 | Improved performance of unary addition by avoiding runtime calls. |
| 445 | |
| 446 | Fixed the handling of '>' and '<=' to use right-to-left conversion |
| 447 | and left-to-right evaluation as specified by ECMA-262. |
| 448 | |
| 449 | Fixed a branch elimination bug on the ARM platform where incorrect |
| 450 | code was generated because of overly aggressive branch |
| 451 | elimination. |
| 452 | |
| 453 | Improved performance of code that repeatedly assigns the same |
| 454 | function to the same property of different objects with the same |
| 455 | map. |
| 456 | |
| 457 | Untangled DEBUG and ENABLE_DISASSEMBLER defines. The disassembler |
| 458 | no longer expects DEBUG to be defined. |
| 459 | |
| 460 | Added platform-nullos.cc to serve as the basis for new platform |
| 461 | implementations. |
| 462 | |

kasper.lund | 7276f14 | 2008-07-30 08:49:36 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 465 | |
| 466 | Changed all text files to have native svn:eol-style. |
| 467 | |
| 468 | Added a few samples and support for building them. The samples |
| 469 | include a simple shell that can be used to benchmark and test V8. |
| 470 | |
| 471 | Changed V8::GetVersion to return the version as a string. |
| 472 | |
| 473 | Added source for lazily loaded scripts to snapshots and made |
| 474 | serialization non-destructive. |
| 475 | |
| 476 | Improved ARM support by fixing the write barrier code to use |
| 477 | aligned loads and stores and by removing premature locals |
| 478 | optimization that relied on broken support for callee-saved |
| 479 | registers (removed). |
| 480 | |
| 481 | Refactored the code for marking live objects during garbage |
| 482 | collection and the code for allocating objects in paged |
| 483 | spaces. Introduced an abstraction for the map word of a heap- |
| 484 | allocated object and changed the memory allocator to allocate |
| 485 | executable memory only for spaces that may contain code objects. |
| 486 | |
| 487 | Moved StringBuilder to utils.h and ScopedLock to platform.h, where |
| 488 | they can be used by debugging and logging modules. Added |
| 489 | thread-safe message queues for dealing with debugger events. |
| 490 | |
| 491 | Fixed the source code reported by toString for certain builtin |
| 492 | empty functions and made sure that the prototype property of a |
| 493 | function is enumerable. |
| 494 | |
| 495 | Improved performance of converting values to condition flags in |
| 496 | generated code. |
| 497 | |
| 498 | Merged disassembler-{arch} files. |
| 499 | |

kasper.lund | af4734f | 2008-07-28 12:50:18 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 502 | |
| 503 | Added support for storing JavaScript stack traces in a stack |
| 504 | allocated buffer to make it visible in shallow core dumps. |
| 505 | Controlled by the --preallocate-message-memory flag which is |
| 506 | disabled by default. |
| 507 | |
| 508 | |

kasper.lund | 4451067 | 2008-07-25 07:37:58 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 510 | |
| 511 | Fixed bug in JSObject::GetPropertyAttributePostInterceptor where |
| 512 | map transitions would count as properties. |
| 513 | |
| 514 | Allowed aliased eval invocations by treating them as evals in the |
| 515 | global context. This may change in the future. |
| 516 | |
| 517 | Added support for accessing the last entered context through the |
| 518 | API and renamed Context::Current to Context::GetCurrent and |
| 519 | Context::GetSecurityContext to Context::GetCurrentSecurityContext. |
| 520 | |
| 521 | Fixed bug in the debugger that would cause the debugger scripts to |
| 522 | be recursively loaded and changed all disabling of interrupts to |
| 523 | be block-structured. |
| 524 | |
| 525 | Made snapshot data read-only to allow it to be more easily shared |
| 526 | across multiple users of V8 when linked as a shared library. |
| 527 | |
| 528 | |

kasper.lund | 212ac23 | 2008-07-16 07:07:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 530 | |
| 531 | Fixed building on Mac OS X by recognizing i386 and friends as |
| 532 | IA-32 platforms. |
| 533 | |
| 534 | Added propagation of stack overflow exceptions that occur while |
| 535 | compiling nested functions. |
| 536 | |
| 537 | Improved debugger with support for recursive break points and |
| 538 | handling of exceptions that occur in the debugger JavaScript code. |
| 539 | |
| 540 | Renamed GetInternal to GetInternalField and SetInternal to |
| 541 | SetInternalField in the API and moved InternalFieldCount and |
| 542 | SetInternalFieldCount from FunctionTemplate to ObjectTemplate. |
| 543 | |
| 544 | |

kasper.lund | bd3ec4e | 2008-07-09 11:06:54 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 546 | |
| 547 | Fixed bug in stack overflow check code for IA-32 targets where a |
| 548 | non-tagged value in register eax was pushed to the stack. |
| 549 | |
| 550 | Fixed potential quadratic behavior when converting strings to |
| 551 | numbers. |
| 552 | |
| 553 | Fixed bug where the return value from Object::SetProperty could |
| 554 | end up being the property holder instead of the written value. |
| 555 | |
| 556 | Improved debugger support by allowing nested break points and by |
| 557 | dealing with stack-overflows when compiling functions before |
| 558 | setting break points in them. |
| 559 | |
