| 2924 | names for builtin JavaScript functions and C++ callback functions. |
| 2925 | |

| 2955 | constructor was not allowed to end with a single-line comment |
| 2956 | (issue 85). |
| 2957 | |
| 2958 | Improved handling of object literals by canonicalizing object |
| 2959 | literal maps. This will allow JSON objects with the same set of |
| 2960 | properties to share the same map making inline caching work better |
| 2961 | for JSON objects. |

| 2965 | |
| 2966 | Generalized the EvalCache into a CompilationCache and enabled it |
| 2967 | for scripts too. The current strategy is to retire all entries |
| 2968 | whenever a mark-sweep collection is started. |
| 2969 | |
| 2970 | Fixed bug where switch statements containing only a default case |
| 2971 | would lead to an unbalanced stack (issue 69). |
| 2972 | |

| 2974 | expression impossible in certain situations (issue 24). |
| 2975 | |
| 2976 | Fixed even more build issues. |
| 2977 | |

| 3001 | Added utf-8 conversion support to the API (issue 57). |
| 3002 | |
| 3003 | Optimized repeated calls to eval with the same strings. These |
| 3004 | repeated calls are common in web applications. |
| 3005 | |
| 3006 | Added Xcode project file. |
| 3007 | |
| 3008 | Optimized a couple of Array operation. |
| 3009 | |
| 3010 | Fixed parser bug by checking for end-of-string when parsing break |
| 3011 | and continue (issue 35). |
| 3012 | |
| 3013 | Fixed problem where asian characters were not categorized as |
| 3014 | letters. |
| 3015 | |
| 3016 | Fixed bug that disallowed calling functions fetched from an array |
| 3017 | using a string as an array index (issue 32). |
| 3018 | |
| 3019 | Fixed bug where the internal field count on object templates were |
| 3020 | sometimes ignored (issue 54). |
| 3021 | |
| 3022 | Added -f option to the shell sample for compatibility with other |
| 3023 | engines (issue 18). |
| 3024 | |
| 3025 | Added source info to TryCatches in the API. |
| 3026 | |
| 3027 | Fixed problem where the seed for the random number generator was |
| 3028 | clipped in a double to unsigned int conversion. |
| 3029 | |
| 3030 | Fixed bug where cons string symbols were sometimes converted to |
| 3031 | non-symbol flat strings during GC. |
| 3032 | |
| 3033 | Fixed bug in error reporting when attempting to convert null to an |
| 3034 | object. |

| 3038 | |
| 3039 | Added support for running tests on the ARM simulator. |
| 3040 | |
| 3041 | Fixed bug in the 'in' operator where negative indices were not |
| 3042 | treated correctly. |
| 3043 | |
| 3044 | Fixed build issues on gcc-4.3.1. |
| 3045 | |
| 3046 | Changed Date.prototype.toLocaleTimeString to not print the |
| 3047 | timezone part of the time. |
| 3048 | |
| 3049 | Renamed debug.h to v8-debug.h to reduce the risk of name conflicts |
| 3050 | with user code. |
| 3051 | |
| 3052 | |
v8.team.kasperl | 727e995 | 2008-09-02 14:56:44 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3053 | 2008-09-02: Version 0.2.5 |
| 3054 | |
| 3055 | Renamed the top level directory 'public' to 'include'. |
| 3056 | |
| 3057 | Added 'env' option to the SCons build scripts to support |
| 3058 | overriding the ENV part of the build environment. This is mostly |
| 3059 | to support Windows builds in cases where SCons cannot find the |
| 3060 | correct paths to the Windows SDK, as these paths cannot be passed |
| 3061 | through shell environment variables. |
| 3062 | |
| 3063 | Enabled "Buffer Security Check" on for the Windows SCons build and |
| 3064 | added the linker option /OPT:ICF as an optimization. |
| 3065 | |
| 3066 | Added the V8 benchmark suite to the repository. |
| 3067 | |

| 3070 | |
| 3071 | Included mjsunit JavaScript test suite and C++ unit tests. |
| 3072 | |
| 3073 | Changed the shell sample to not print the result of executing a |
| 3074 | script provided on the command line. |
| 3075 | |
| 3076 | Fixed issue when building samples on Windows using a shared V8 |
| 3077 | library. Added visibility option on Linux build which makes the |
| 3078 | generated library 18% smaller. |
| 3079 | |
| 3080 | Changed build system to accept multiple build modes in one build |
| 3081 | and generate separate objects, libraries and executables for each |
| 3082 | mode. |
| 3083 | |
| 3084 | Removed deferred negation optimization (a * -b => -(a * b)) since |
| 3085 | this visibly changes operand conversion order. |
| 3086 | |
| 3087 | Improved parsing performance by introducing stack guard in |
| 3088 | preparsing. Without a stack guard preparsing always bails out |
| 3089 | with stack overflow. |
| 3090 | |
| 3091 | Changed shell sample to take flags directly from the command-line. |
| 3092 | Added API call that implements this. |
| 3093 | |
| 3094 | Added load, quit and version functions to the shell sample so it's |
| 3095 | easier to run benchmarks and tests. |
| 3096 | |
| 3097 | Fixed issue with building samples and cctests on 64-bit machines. |
| 3098 | |
| 3099 | Fixed bug in the runtime system where the prototype chain was not |
| 3100 | always searched for a setter when setting a property that does not |
| 3101 | exist locally. |

| 3105 | |
| 3106 | Improved performance of garbage collection by moving the |
| 3107 | function that updates pointers during compacting collection |
| 3108 | into the updating visitor. This gives the compiler a better |
| 3109 | chance to inline and avoid a function call per (potential) |
| 3110 | pointer. |
| 3111 | |
| 3112 | Extended the shell sample with a --runtime-flags option. |
| 3113 | |
| 3114 | Added Visual Studio project files for the shell.cc and |
| 3115 | process.cc samples. |
| 3116 | |
| 3117 | |
| 3118 | 2008-08-13: Version 0.2.2 |
mads.s.ager | 31e7138 | 2008-08-13 09:32:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3119 | |
| 3120 | Improved performance of garbage collection by changing the way |
| 3121 | we use the marking stack in the event of stack overflow during |
| 3122 | full garbage collection and by changing the way we mark roots. |
| 3123 | |
| 3124 | Cleaned up ARM version by removing top of stack caching and by |
| 3125 | introducing push/pop elimination. |
| 3126 | |
| 3127 | Cleaned up the way runtime functions are called to allow |
| 3128 | runtime calls with no arguments. |
| 3129 | |
| 3130 | Changed Windows build options to make sure that exceptions are |
| 3131 | disabled and that optimization flags are enabled. |
| 3132 | |
| 3133 | Added first version of Visual Studio project files. |
| 3134 | |
| 3135 | |

mads.s.ager@gmail.com | 769cc96 | 2008-08-06 10:02:49 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3137 | |
| 3138 | Improved performance of unary addition by avoiding runtime calls. |
| 3139 | |
| 3140 | Fixed the handling of '>' and '<=' to use right-to-left conversion |
| 3141 | and left-to-right evaluation as specified by ECMA-262. |
| 3142 | |
| 3143 | Fixed a branch elimination bug on the ARM platform where incorrect |
| 3144 | code was generated because of overly aggressive branch |
| 3145 | elimination. |
| 3146 | |
| 3147 | Improved performance of code that repeatedly assigns the same |
| 3148 | function to the same property of different objects with the same |
| 3149 | map. |
| 3150 | |
| 3151 | Untangled DEBUG and ENABLE_DISASSEMBLER defines. The disassembler |
| 3152 | no longer expects DEBUG to be defined. |
| 3153 | |
| 3154 | Added platform-nullos.cc to serve as the basis for new platform |
| 3155 | implementations. |
| 3156 | |

kasper.lund | 7276f14 | 2008-07-30 08:49:36 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3159 | |
| 3160 | Changed all text files to have native svn:eol-style. |
| 3161 | |
| 3162 | Added a few samples and support for building them. The samples |
| 3163 | include a simple shell that can be used to benchmark and test V8. |
| 3164 | |
| 3165 | Changed V8::GetVersion to return the version as a string. |
| 3166 | |
| 3167 | Added source for lazily loaded scripts to snapshots and made |
| 3168 | serialization non-destructive. |
| 3169 | |
| 3170 | Improved ARM support by fixing the write barrier code to use |
| 3171 | aligned loads and stores and by removing premature locals |
| 3172 | optimization that relied on broken support for callee-saved |
| 3173 | registers (removed). |
| 3174 | |
| 3175 | Refactored the code for marking live objects during garbage |
| 3176 | collection and the code for allocating objects in paged |
| 3177 | spaces. Introduced an abstraction for the map word of a heap- |
| 3178 | allocated object and changed the memory allocator to allocate |
| 3179 | executable memory only for spaces that may contain code objects. |
| 3180 | |
| 3181 | Moved StringBuilder to utils.h and ScopedLock to platform.h, where |
| 3182 | they can be used by debugging and logging modules. Added |
| 3183 | thread-safe message queues for dealing with debugger events. |
| 3184 | |
| 3185 | Fixed the source code reported by toString for certain builtin |
| 3186 | empty functions and made sure that the prototype property of a |
| 3187 | function is enumerable. |
| 3188 | |
| 3189 | Improved performance of converting values to condition flags in |
| 3190 | generated code. |
| 3191 | |
| 3192 | Merged disassembler-{arch} files. |
| 3193 | |
| 3194 | |

kasper.lund | af4734f | 2008-07-28 12:50:18 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3196 | |
| 3197 | Added support for storing JavaScript stack traces in a stack |
| 3198 | allocated buffer to make it visible in shallow core dumps. |
| 3199 | Controlled by the --preallocate-message-memory flag which is |
| 3200 | disabled by default. |
| 3201 | |
| 3202 | |

kasper.lund | 4451067 | 2008-07-25 07:37:58 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3204 | |
| 3205 | Fixed bug in JSObject::GetPropertyAttributePostInterceptor where |
| 3206 | map transitions would count as properties. |
| 3207 | |
| 3208 | Allowed aliased eval invocations by treating them as evals in the |
| 3209 | global context. This may change in the future. |
| 3210 | |
| 3211 | Added support for accessing the last entered context through the |
| 3212 | API and renamed Context::Current to Context::GetCurrent and |
| 3213 | Context::GetSecurityContext to Context::GetCurrentSecurityContext. |
| 3214 | |
| 3215 | Fixed bug in the debugger that would cause the debugger scripts to |
| 3216 | be recursively loaded and changed all disabling of interrupts to |
| 3217 | be block-structured. |
| 3218 | |
| 3219 | Made snapshot data read-only to allow it to be more easily shared |
| 3220 | across multiple users of V8 when linked as a shared library. |
| 3221 | |
| 3222 | |

kasper.lund | 212ac23 | 2008-07-16 07:07:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3224 | |
| 3225 | Fixed building on Mac OS X by recognizing i386 and friends as |
| 3226 | IA-32 platforms. |
| 3227 | |
| 3228 | Added propagation of stack overflow exceptions that occur while |
| 3229 | compiling nested functions. |
| 3230 | |
| 3231 | Improved debugger with support for recursive break points and |
| 3232 | handling of exceptions that occur in the debugger JavaScript code. |
| 3233 | |
| 3234 | Renamed GetInternal to GetInternalField and SetInternal to |
| 3235 | SetInternalField in the API and moved InternalFieldCount and |
| 3236 | SetInternalFieldCount from FunctionTemplate to ObjectTemplate. |
| 3237 | |
| 3238 | |

kasper.lund | bd3ec4e | 2008-07-09 11:06:54 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3240 | |
| 3241 | Fixed bug in stack overflow check code for IA-32 targets where a |
| 3242 | non-tagged value in register eax was pushed to the stack. |
| 3243 | |
| 3244 | Fixed potential quadratic behavior when converting strings to |
| 3245 | numbers. |
| 3246 | |
| 3247 | Fixed bug where the return value from Object::SetProperty could |
| 3248 | end up being the property holder instead of the written value. |
| 3249 | |
| 3250 | Improved debugger support by allowing nested break points and by |
| 3251 | dealing with stack-overflows when compiling functions before |
| 3252 | setting break points in them. |
| 3253 | |
| 3254 | |
