| 3349 | |
| 3350 | Improved performance of Array.prototype.concat by moving the |
| 3351 | implementation to C++ (issue 123). |
| 3352 | |
| 3353 | Fixed heap growth policy to avoid growing old space to its maximum |
| 3354 | capacity before doing a garbage collection and fixed issue that |
| 3355 | would lead to artificial out of memory situations (issue 129). |
| 3356 | |
| 3357 | Fixed Date.prototype.toLocaleDateString to return the date in the |
| 3358 | same format as WebKit. |
| 3359 | |
| 3360 | Added missing initialization checks to debugger API. |
| 3361 | |
| 3362 | Added removing of unused maps during GC. |

| 3366 | |
| 3367 | Added caching of RegExp data in compilation cache. |
| 3368 | |
| 3369 | Added Visual Studio project file for d8 shell. |
| 3370 | |
| 3371 | Fixed function call performance regression introduced in version |
| 3372 | 0.4.0 when splitting the global object in two parts (issue 120). |
| 3373 | |
| 3374 | Fixed issue 131 by checking for empty handles before throwing and |
| 3375 | reporting exceptions. |
| 3376 | |

| 3379 | |
| 3380 | Split the global object into two parts: The state holding global |
| 3381 | object and the global object proxy. |
| 3382 | |
| 3383 | Fixed bug that affected the value of an assignment to an element |
| 3384 | in certain cases (issue 116). |
| 3385 | |
| 3386 | Added GetPropertyNames functionality (issue 33) and extra Date |
| 3387 | functions (issue 77) to the API. |
| 3388 | |
| 3389 | Changed WeakReferenceCallback to take a Persistent<Value> instead |
| 3390 | of a Persistent<Object> (issue 101). |
| 3391 | |
| 3392 | Fixed issues with message reporting for exceptions in try-finally |
| 3393 | blocks (issues 73 and 75). |
| 3394 | |
ager@chromium.org | 3291210 | 2009-01-16 10:38:43 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3395 | Optimized flattening of strings and string equality checking. |
kasperl@chromium.org | 5a8ca6c | 2008-10-23 13:57:19 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3396 | |
| 3397 | Improved Boyer-Moore implementation for faster indexOf operations. |
| 3398 | |
| 3399 | Added development shell (d8) which includes counters and |
| 3400 | completion support. |
| 3401 | |
| 3402 | Fixed problem with the receiver passed to functions called from |
| 3403 | eval (issue 124). |
| 3404 | |
| 3405 | |
ager@chromium.org | 7c537e2 | 2008-10-16 08:43:32 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3406 | 2008-10-16: Version 0.3.5 |
| 3407 | |
| 3408 | Improved string hash-code distribution by excluding bit-field bits |
| 3409 | from the hash-code. |
| 3410 | |
| 3411 | Changed string search algorithm used in indexOf from KMP to |
| 3412 | Boyer-Moore. |
| 3413 | |
| 3414 | Improved the generated code for the instanceof operator. |
| 3415 | |
| 3416 | Improved performance of slow-case string equality checks by |
| 3417 | specializing the code based on the string representation. |
| 3418 | |
| 3419 | Improve the handling of out-of-memory situations (issue 70). |
| 3420 | |
| 3421 | Improved performance of strict equality checks. |
| 3422 | |
| 3423 | Improved profiler output to make it easier to see anonymous |
| 3424 | functions. |
| 3425 | |
| 3426 | Improved performance of slow-case keyed loads. |
| 3427 | |
| 3428 | Improved property access performance by allocating a number of |
| 3429 | properties in the front object. |
| 3430 | |
| 3431 | Changed the toString behavior on the built-in object constructors |
| 3432 | to print [native code] instead of the actual source. Some web |
| 3433 | applications do not like constructors with complex toString |
| 3434 | results. |

| 3438 | |
| 3439 | Changed Array.prototype.sort to use quick sort. |
| 3440 | |
| 3441 | Fixed code generation issue where leaving a finally block with |
| 3442 | break or continue would accumulate elements on the expression |
| 3443 | stack (issue 86). |
| 3444 | |
| 3445 | Made sure that the name accessor on functions returns the expected |
| 3446 | names for builtin JavaScript functions and C++ callback functions. |
| 3447 | |
| 3448 | Added fast case code for extending the property storage array of |
| 3449 | JavaScript objects. |
| 3450 | |
| 3451 | Ported switch statement optimizations introduced in version 0.3.3 |
| 3452 | to the ARM code generator. |
| 3453 | |
| 3454 | Allowed GCC to use strict-aliasing rules when compiling. |
| 3455 | |
| 3456 | Improved performance of arguments object allocation by taking care |
| 3457 | of arguments adaptor frames in the generated code. |
| 3458 | |
| 3459 | Updated the V8 benchmark suite to version 2. |
| 3460 | |

| 3463 | |
| 3464 | Improved handling of relocation information to enable more |
| 3465 | peep-hole optimizations. |
| 3466 | |
| 3467 | Optimized switch statements where all labels are constant small |
| 3468 | integers. |
| 3469 | |
| 3470 | Optimized String.prototype.indexOf for common cases. |
| 3471 | |
| 3472 | Fixed more build issues (issue 80). |
| 3473 | |
| 3474 | Fixed a couple of profiler issues. |
| 3475 | |
| 3476 | Fixed bug where the body of a function created using the Function |
| 3477 | constructor was not allowed to end with a single-line comment |
| 3478 | (issue 85). |
| 3479 | |
| 3480 | Improved handling of object literals by canonicalizing object |
| 3481 | literal maps. This will allow JSON objects with the same set of |
| 3482 | properties to share the same map making inline caching work better |
| 3483 | for JSON objects. |

| 3487 | |
| 3488 | Generalized the EvalCache into a CompilationCache and enabled it |
| 3489 | for scripts too. The current strategy is to retire all entries |
| 3490 | whenever a mark-sweep collection is started. |
| 3491 | |
| 3492 | Fixed bug where switch statements containing only a default case |
| 3493 | would lead to an unbalanced stack (issue 69). |
| 3494 | |
| 3495 | Fixed bug that made access to the function in a named function |
| 3496 | expression impossible in certain situations (issue 24). |
| 3497 | |
| 3498 | Fixed even more build issues. |
| 3499 | |
| 3500 | Optimized calling conventions on ARM. The conventions on ARM and |
| 3501 | IA-32 now match. |
| 3502 | |
| 3503 | Removed static initializers for flags and counters. |
| 3504 | |
| 3505 | Improved inline caching behavior for uncommon cases where lazily |
| 3506 | loading Date and RegExp code could force certain code paths go |
| 3507 | megamorphic. |
| 3508 | |
| 3509 | Removed arguments adaption for builtins written in C++. This |
| 3510 | makes Array.prototype.push and Array.prototype.pop slightly |
| 3511 | faster. |
| 3512 | |
| 3513 | |

| 3515 | |
| 3516 | Fixed a number of build issues. |
| 3517 | |
| 3518 | Fixed problem with missing I-cache flusing on ARM. |
| 3519 | |
| 3520 | Changed space layout in memory management by splitting up |
| 3521 | code space into old data space and code space. |
| 3522 | |
| 3523 | Added utf-8 conversion support to the API (issue 57). |
| 3524 | |
| 3525 | Optimized repeated calls to eval with the same strings. These |
| 3526 | repeated calls are common in web applications. |
| 3527 | |
| 3528 | Added Xcode project file. |
| 3529 | |
| 3530 | Optimized a couple of Array operation. |
| 3531 | |
| 3532 | Fixed parser bug by checking for end-of-string when parsing break |
| 3533 | and continue (issue 35). |
| 3534 | |
| 3535 | Fixed problem where asian characters were not categorized as |
| 3536 | letters. |
| 3537 | |
| 3538 | Fixed bug that disallowed calling functions fetched from an array |
| 3539 | using a string as an array index (issue 32). |
| 3540 | |
| 3541 | Fixed bug where the internal field count on object templates were |
| 3542 | sometimes ignored (issue 54). |
| 3543 | |
| 3544 | Added -f option to the shell sample for compatibility with other |
| 3545 | engines (issue 18). |
| 3546 | |
| 3547 | Added source info to TryCatches in the API. |
| 3548 | |
| 3549 | Fixed problem where the seed for the random number generator was |
| 3550 | clipped in a double to unsigned int conversion. |
| 3551 | |
| 3552 | Fixed bug where cons string symbols were sometimes converted to |
| 3553 | non-symbol flat strings during GC. |
| 3554 | |
| 3555 | Fixed bug in error reporting when attempting to convert null to an |
| 3556 | object. |

| 3560 | |
| 3561 | Added support for running tests on the ARM simulator. |
| 3562 | |
| 3563 | Fixed bug in the 'in' operator where negative indices were not |
| 3564 | treated correctly. |
| 3565 | |
| 3566 | Fixed build issues on gcc-4.3.1. |
| 3567 | |
| 3568 | Changed Date.prototype.toLocaleTimeString to not print the |
| 3569 | timezone part of the time. |
| 3570 | |
| 3571 | Renamed debug.h to v8-debug.h to reduce the risk of name conflicts |
| 3572 | with user code. |
| 3573 | |
| 3574 | |

| 3576 | |
| 3577 | Renamed the top level directory 'public' to 'include'. |
| 3578 | |
| 3579 | Added 'env' option to the SCons build scripts to support |
| 3580 | overriding the ENV part of the build environment. This is mostly |
| 3581 | to support Windows builds in cases where SCons cannot find the |
| 3582 | correct paths to the Windows SDK, as these paths cannot be passed |
| 3583 | through shell environment variables. |
| 3584 | |
| 3585 | Enabled "Buffer Security Check" on for the Windows SCons build and |
| 3586 | added the linker option /OPT:ICF as an optimization. |
| 3587 | |
| 3588 | Added the V8 benchmark suite to the repository. |

| 3592 | |
| 3593 | Included mjsunit JavaScript test suite and C++ unit tests. |
| 3594 | |
| 3595 | Changed the shell sample to not print the result of executing a |
| 3596 | script provided on the command line. |
| 3597 | |
| 3598 | Fixed issue when building samples on Windows using a shared V8 |
| 3599 | library. Added visibility option on Linux build which makes the |
| 3600 | generated library 18% smaller. |
| 3601 | |
| 3602 | Changed build system to accept multiple build modes in one build |
| 3603 | and generate separate objects, libraries and executables for each |
| 3604 | mode. |
| 3605 | |
| 3606 | Removed deferred negation optimization (a * -b => -(a * b)) since |
| 3607 | this visibly changes operand conversion order. |
| 3608 | |
| 3609 | Improved parsing performance by introducing stack guard in |
| 3610 | preparsing. Without a stack guard preparsing always bails out |
| 3611 | with stack overflow. |
| 3612 | |
| 3613 | Changed shell sample to take flags directly from the command-line. |
| 3614 | Added API call that implements this. |
| 3615 | |
| 3616 | Added load, quit and version functions to the shell sample so it's |
| 3617 | easier to run benchmarks and tests. |
| 3618 | |
| 3619 | Fixed issue with building samples and cctests on 64-bit machines. |
| 3620 | |
| 3621 | Fixed bug in the runtime system where the prototype chain was not |
| 3622 | always searched for a setter when setting a property that does not |
| 3623 | exist locally. |

| 3627 | |
| 3628 | Improved performance of garbage collection by moving the |
| 3629 | function that updates pointers during compacting collection |
| 3630 | into the updating visitor. This gives the compiler a better |
| 3631 | chance to inline and avoid a function call per (potential) |
| 3632 | pointer. |
| 3633 | |
| 3634 | Extended the shell sample with a --runtime-flags option. |
| 3635 | |
| 3636 | Added Visual Studio project files for the shell.cc and |
| 3637 | process.cc samples. |

mads.s.ager | 31e7138 | 2008-08-13 09:32:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3641 | |
| 3642 | Improved performance of garbage collection by changing the way |
| 3643 | we use the marking stack in the event of stack overflow during |
| 3644 | full garbage collection and by changing the way we mark roots. |
| 3645 | |
| 3646 | Cleaned up ARM version by removing top of stack caching and by |
| 3647 | introducing push/pop elimination. |
| 3648 | |
| 3649 | Cleaned up the way runtime functions are called to allow |
| 3650 | runtime calls with no arguments. |
| 3651 | |
| 3652 | Changed Windows build options to make sure that exceptions are |
| 3653 | disabled and that optimization flags are enabled. |
| 3654 | |
| 3655 | Added first version of Visual Studio project files. |
| 3656 | |
| 3657 | |

mads.s.ager@gmail.com | 769cc96 | 2008-08-06 10:02:49 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3659 | |
| 3660 | Improved performance of unary addition by avoiding runtime calls. |
| 3661 | |
| 3662 | Fixed the handling of '>' and '<=' to use right-to-left conversion |
| 3663 | and left-to-right evaluation as specified by ECMA-262. |
| 3664 | |
| 3665 | Fixed a branch elimination bug on the ARM platform where incorrect |
| 3666 | code was generated because of overly aggressive branch |
| 3667 | elimination. |
| 3668 | |
| 3669 | Improved performance of code that repeatedly assigns the same |
| 3670 | function to the same property of different objects with the same |
| 3671 | map. |
| 3672 | |
| 3673 | Untangled DEBUG and ENABLE_DISASSEMBLER defines. The disassembler |
| 3674 | no longer expects DEBUG to be defined. |
| 3675 | |
| 3676 | Added platform-nullos.cc to serve as the basis for new platform |
| 3677 | implementations. |
| 3678 | |

kasper.lund | 7276f14 | 2008-07-30 08:49:36 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3681 | |
| 3682 | Changed all text files to have native svn:eol-style. |
| 3683 | |
| 3684 | Added a few samples and support for building them. The samples |
| 3685 | include a simple shell that can be used to benchmark and test V8. |
| 3686 | |
| 3687 | Changed V8::GetVersion to return the version as a string. |
| 3688 | |
| 3689 | Added source for lazily loaded scripts to snapshots and made |
| 3690 | serialization non-destructive. |
| 3691 | |
| 3692 | Improved ARM support by fixing the write barrier code to use |
| 3693 | aligned loads and stores and by removing premature locals |
| 3694 | optimization that relied on broken support for callee-saved |
| 3695 | registers (removed). |
| 3696 | |
| 3697 | Refactored the code for marking live objects during garbage |
| 3698 | collection and the code for allocating objects in paged |
| 3699 | spaces. Introduced an abstraction for the map word of a heap- |
| 3700 | allocated object and changed the memory allocator to allocate |
| 3701 | executable memory only for spaces that may contain code objects. |
| 3702 | |
| 3703 | Moved StringBuilder to utils.h and ScopedLock to platform.h, where |
| 3704 | they can be used by debugging and logging modules. Added |
| 3705 | thread-safe message queues for dealing with debugger events. |
| 3706 | |
| 3707 | Fixed the source code reported by toString for certain builtin |
| 3708 | empty functions and made sure that the prototype property of a |
| 3709 | function is enumerable. |
| 3710 | |
| 3711 | Improved performance of converting values to condition flags in |
| 3712 | generated code. |
| 3713 | |
| 3714 | Merged disassembler-{arch} files. |
| 3715 | |
| 3716 | |

kasper.lund | af4734f | 2008-07-28 12:50:18 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3718 | |
| 3719 | Added support for storing JavaScript stack traces in a stack |
| 3720 | allocated buffer to make it visible in shallow core dumps. |
| 3721 | Controlled by the --preallocate-message-memory flag which is |
| 3722 | disabled by default. |

kasper.lund | 4451067 | 2008-07-25 07:37:58 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3726 | |
| 3727 | Fixed bug in JSObject::GetPropertyAttributePostInterceptor where |
| 3728 | map transitions would count as properties. |
| 3729 | |
| 3730 | Allowed aliased eval invocations by treating them as evals in the |
| 3731 | global context. This may change in the future. |
| 3732 | |
| 3733 | Added support for accessing the last entered context through the |
| 3734 | API and renamed Context::Current to Context::GetCurrent and |
| 3735 | Context::GetSecurityContext to Context::GetCurrentSecurityContext. |
| 3736 | |
| 3737 | Fixed bug in the debugger that would cause the debugger scripts to |
| 3738 | be recursively loaded and changed all disabling of interrupts to |
| 3739 | be block-structured. |
| 3740 | |
| 3741 | Made snapshot data read-only to allow it to be more easily shared |
| 3742 | across multiple users of V8 when linked as a shared library. |

kasper.lund | 212ac23 | 2008-07-16 07:07:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3746 | |
| 3747 | Fixed building on Mac OS X by recognizing i386 and friends as |
| 3748 | IA-32 platforms. |
| 3749 | |
| 3750 | Added propagation of stack overflow exceptions that occur while |
| 3751 | compiling nested functions. |
| 3752 | |
| 3753 | Improved debugger with support for recursive break points and |
| 3754 | handling of exceptions that occur in the debugger JavaScript code. |
| 3755 | |
| 3756 | Renamed GetInternal to GetInternalField and SetInternal to |
| 3757 | SetInternalField in the API and moved InternalFieldCount and |
| 3758 | SetInternalFieldCount from FunctionTemplate to ObjectTemplate. |

kasper.lund | bd3ec4e | 2008-07-09 11:06:54 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3762 | |
| 3763 | Fixed bug in stack overflow check code for IA-32 targets where a |
| 3764 | non-tagged value in register eax was pushed to the stack. |
| 3765 | |
| 3766 | Fixed potential quadratic behavior when converting strings to |
| 3767 | numbers. |
| 3768 | |
| 3769 | Fixed bug where the return value from Object::SetProperty could |
| 3770 | end up being the property holder instead of the written value. |
| 3771 | |
| 3772 | Improved debugger support by allowing nested break points and by |
| 3773 | dealing with stack-overflows when compiling functions before |
| 3774 | setting break points in them. |
