| 1946 | Added fast case code for extending the property storage array of |
| 1947 | JavaScript objects. |
| 1948 | |
| 1949 | Ported switch statement optimizations introduced in version 0.3.3 |
| 1950 | to the ARM code generator. |
| 1951 | |
| 1952 | Allowed GCC to use strict-aliasing rules when compiling. |
| 1953 | |
| 1954 | Improved performance of arguments object allocation by taking care |
| 1955 | of arguments adaptor frames in the generated code. |
| 1956 | |
| 1957 | Updated the V8 benchmark suite to version 2. |

| 1961 | |
| 1962 | Improved handling of relocation information to enable more |
| 1963 | peep-hole optimizations. |
| 1964 | |
| 1965 | Optimized switch statements where all labels are constant small |
| 1966 | integers. |
| 1967 | |
| 1968 | Optimized String.prototype.indexOf for common cases. |
| 1969 | |
| 1970 | Fixed more build issues (issue 80). |
| 1971 | |
| 1972 | Fixed a couple of profiler issues. |
| 1973 | |
| 1974 | Fixed bug where the body of a function created using the Function |
| 1975 | constructor was not allowed to end with a single-line comment |
| 1976 | (issue 85). |
| 1977 | |
| 1978 | Improved handling of object literals by canonicalizing object |
| 1979 | literal maps. This will allow JSON objects with the same set of |
| 1980 | properties to share the same map making inline caching work better |
| 1981 | for JSON objects. |

| 1985 | |
| 1986 | Generalized the EvalCache into a CompilationCache and enabled it |
| 1987 | for scripts too. The current strategy is to retire all entries |
| 1988 | whenever a mark-sweep collection is started. |
| 1989 | |
| 1990 | Fixed bug where switch statements containing only a default case |
| 1991 | would lead to an unbalanced stack (issue 69). |
| 1992 | |
| 1993 | Fixed bug that made access to the function in a named function |
| 1994 | expression impossible in certain situations (issue 24). |
| 1995 | |
| 1996 | Fixed even more build issues. |
| 1997 | |
| 1998 | Optimized calling conventions on ARM. The conventions on ARM and |
| 1999 | IA-32 now match. |
| 2000 | |
| 2001 | Removed static initializers for flags and counters. |
| 2002 | |
| 2003 | Improved inline caching behavior for uncommon cases where lazily |
| 2004 | loading Date and RegExp code could force certain code paths go |
| 2005 | megamorphic. |
| 2006 | |
| 2007 | Removed arguments adaption for builtins written in C++. This |
| 2008 | makes Array.prototype.push and Array.prototype.pop slightly |
| 2009 | faster. |
| 2010 | |
| 2011 | |

| 2013 | |
| 2014 | Fixed a number of build issues. |
| 2015 | |
| 2016 | Fixed problem with missing I-cache flusing on ARM. |
| 2017 | |
| 2018 | Changed space layout in memory management by splitting up |
| 2019 | code space into old data space and code space. |
| 2020 | |
| 2021 | Added utf-8 conversion support to the API (issue 57). |
| 2022 | |
| 2023 | Optimized repeated calls to eval with the same strings. These |
| 2024 | repeated calls are common in web applications. |
| 2025 | |
| 2026 | Added Xcode project file. |
| 2027 | |
| 2028 | Optimized a couple of Array operation. |
| 2029 | |
| 2030 | Fixed parser bug by checking for end-of-string when parsing break |
| 2031 | and continue (issue 35). |
| 2032 | |
| 2033 | Fixed problem where asian characters were not categorized as |
| 2034 | letters. |
| 2035 | |
| 2036 | Fixed bug that disallowed calling functions fetched from an array |
| 2037 | using a string as an array index (issue 32). |
| 2038 | |
| 2039 | Fixed bug where the internal field count on object templates were |
| 2040 | sometimes ignored (issue 54). |
| 2041 | |
| 2042 | Added -f option to the shell sample for compatibility with other |
| 2043 | engines (issue 18). |
| 2044 | |
| 2045 | Added source info to TryCatches in the API. |
| 2046 | |
| 2047 | Fixed problem where the seed for the random number generator was |
| 2048 | clipped in a double to unsigned int conversion. |
| 2049 | |
| 2050 | Fixed bug where cons string symbols were sometimes converted to |
| 2051 | non-symbol flat strings during GC. |
| 2052 | |
| 2053 | Fixed bug in error reporting when attempting to convert null to an |
| 2054 | object. |

| 2058 | |
| 2059 | Added support for running tests on the ARM simulator. |
| 2060 | |
| 2061 | Fixed bug in the 'in' operator where negative indices were not |
| 2062 | treated correctly. |
| 2063 | |
| 2064 | Fixed build issues on gcc-4.3.1. |
| 2065 | |
| 2066 | Changed Date.prototype.toLocaleTimeString to not print the |
| 2067 | timezone part of the time. |
| 2068 | |
| 2069 | Renamed debug.h to v8-debug.h to reduce the risk of name conflicts |
| 2070 | with user code. |
| 2071 | |
| 2072 | |
v8.team.kasperl | 727e995 | 2008-09-02 14:56:44 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2073 | 2008-09-02: Version 0.2.5 |
| 2074 | |
| 2075 | Renamed the top level directory 'public' to 'include'. |
| 2076 | |
| 2077 | Added 'env' option to the SCons build scripts to support |
| 2078 | overriding the ENV part of the build environment. This is mostly |
| 2079 | to support Windows builds in cases where SCons cannot find the |
| 2080 | correct paths to the Windows SDK, as these paths cannot be passed |
| 2081 | through shell environment variables. |
| 2082 | |
| 2083 | Enabled "Buffer Security Check" on for the Windows SCons build and |
| 2084 | added the linker option /OPT:ICF as an optimization. |
| 2085 | |
| 2086 | Added the V8 benchmark suite to the repository. |
| 2087 | |

| 2090 | |
| 2091 | Included mjsunit JavaScript test suite and C++ unit tests. |
| 2092 | |
| 2093 | Changed the shell sample to not print the result of executing a |
| 2094 | script provided on the command line. |
| 2095 | |
| 2096 | Fixed issue when building samples on Windows using a shared V8 |
| 2097 | library. Added visibility option on Linux build which makes the |
| 2098 | generated library 18% smaller. |
| 2099 | |
| 2100 | Changed build system to accept multiple build modes in one build |
| 2101 | and generate separate objects, libraries and executables for each |
| 2102 | mode. |
| 2103 | |
| 2104 | Removed deferred negation optimization (a * -b => -(a * b)) since |
| 2105 | this visibly changes operand conversion order. |
| 2106 | |
| 2107 | Improved parsing performance by introducing stack guard in |
| 2108 | preparsing. Without a stack guard preparsing always bails out |
| 2109 | with stack overflow. |
| 2110 | |
| 2111 | Changed shell sample to take flags directly from the command-line. |
| 2112 | Added API call that implements this. |
| 2113 | |
| 2114 | Added load, quit and version functions to the shell sample so it's |
| 2115 | easier to run benchmarks and tests. |
| 2116 | |
| 2117 | Fixed issue with building samples and cctests on 64-bit machines. |
| 2118 | |
| 2119 | Fixed bug in the runtime system where the prototype chain was not |
| 2120 | always searched for a setter when setting a property that does not |
| 2121 | exist locally. |

| 2125 | |
| 2126 | Improved performance of garbage collection by moving the |
| 2127 | function that updates pointers during compacting collection |
| 2128 | into the updating visitor. This gives the compiler a better |
| 2129 | chance to inline and avoid a function call per (potential) |
| 2130 | pointer. |
| 2131 | |
| 2132 | Extended the shell sample with a --runtime-flags option. |
| 2133 | |
| 2134 | Added Visual Studio project files for the shell.cc and |
| 2135 | process.cc samples. |
| 2136 | |
| 2137 | |

mads.s.ager | 31e7138 | 2008-08-13 09:32:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2139 | |
| 2140 | Improved performance of garbage collection by changing the way |
| 2141 | we use the marking stack in the event of stack overflow during |
| 2142 | full garbage collection and by changing the way we mark roots. |
| 2143 | |
| 2144 | Cleaned up ARM version by removing top of stack caching and by |
| 2145 | introducing push/pop elimination. |
| 2146 | |
| 2147 | Cleaned up the way runtime functions are called to allow |
| 2148 | runtime calls with no arguments. |
| 2149 | |
| 2150 | Changed Windows build options to make sure that exceptions are |
| 2151 | disabled and that optimization flags are enabled. |
| 2152 | |
| 2153 | Added first version of Visual Studio project files. |
| 2154 | |
| 2155 | |

mads.s.ager@gmail.com | 769cc96 | 2008-08-06 10:02:49 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2157 | |
| 2158 | Improved performance of unary addition by avoiding runtime calls. |
| 2159 | |
| 2160 | Fixed the handling of '>' and '<=' to use right-to-left conversion |
| 2161 | and left-to-right evaluation as specified by ECMA-262. |
| 2162 | |
| 2163 | Fixed a branch elimination bug on the ARM platform where incorrect |
| 2164 | code was generated because of overly aggressive branch |
| 2165 | elimination. |
| 2166 | |
| 2167 | Improved performance of code that repeatedly assigns the same |
| 2168 | function to the same property of different objects with the same |
| 2169 | map. |
| 2170 | |
| 2171 | Untangled DEBUG and ENABLE_DISASSEMBLER defines. The disassembler |
| 2172 | no longer expects DEBUG to be defined. |
| 2173 | |
| 2174 | Added platform-nullos.cc to serve as the basis for new platform |
| 2175 | implementations. |
| 2176 | |

kasper.lund | 7276f14 | 2008-07-30 08:49:36 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2179 | |
| 2180 | Changed all text files to have native svn:eol-style. |
| 2181 | |
| 2182 | Added a few samples and support for building them. The samples |
| 2183 | include a simple shell that can be used to benchmark and test V8. |
| 2184 | |
| 2185 | Changed V8::GetVersion to return the version as a string. |
| 2186 | |
| 2187 | Added source for lazily loaded scripts to snapshots and made |
| 2188 | serialization non-destructive. |
| 2189 | |
| 2190 | Improved ARM support by fixing the write barrier code to use |
| 2191 | aligned loads and stores and by removing premature locals |
| 2192 | optimization that relied on broken support for callee-saved |
| 2193 | registers (removed). |
| 2194 | |
| 2195 | Refactored the code for marking live objects during garbage |
| 2196 | collection and the code for allocating objects in paged |
| 2197 | spaces. Introduced an abstraction for the map word of a heap- |
| 2198 | allocated object and changed the memory allocator to allocate |
| 2199 | executable memory only for spaces that may contain code objects. |
| 2200 | |
| 2201 | Moved StringBuilder to utils.h and ScopedLock to platform.h, where |
| 2202 | they can be used by debugging and logging modules. Added |
| 2203 | thread-safe message queues for dealing with debugger events. |
| 2204 | |
| 2205 | Fixed the source code reported by toString for certain builtin |
| 2206 | empty functions and made sure that the prototype property of a |
| 2207 | function is enumerable. |
| 2208 | |
| 2209 | Improved performance of converting values to condition flags in |
| 2210 | generated code. |
| 2211 | |
| 2212 | Merged disassembler-{arch} files. |
| 2213 | |
| 2214 | |

kasper.lund | af4734f | 2008-07-28 12:50:18 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2216 | |
| 2217 | Added support for storing JavaScript stack traces in a stack |
| 2218 | allocated buffer to make it visible in shallow core dumps. |
| 2219 | Controlled by the --preallocate-message-memory flag which is |
| 2220 | disabled by default. |

kasper.lund | 4451067 | 2008-07-25 07:37:58 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2224 | |
| 2225 | Fixed bug in JSObject::GetPropertyAttributePostInterceptor where |
| 2226 | map transitions would count as properties. |
| 2227 | |
| 2228 | Allowed aliased eval invocations by treating them as evals in the |
| 2229 | global context. This may change in the future. |
| 2230 | |
| 2231 | Added support for accessing the last entered context through the |
| 2232 | API and renamed Context::Current to Context::GetCurrent and |
| 2233 | Context::GetSecurityContext to Context::GetCurrentSecurityContext. |
| 2234 | |
| 2235 | Fixed bug in the debugger that would cause the debugger scripts to |
| 2236 | be recursively loaded and changed all disabling of interrupts to |
| 2237 | be block-structured. |
| 2238 | |
| 2239 | Made snapshot data read-only to allow it to be more easily shared |
| 2240 | across multiple users of V8 when linked as a shared library. |
| 2241 | |
| 2242 | |

| 2245 | Fixed building on Mac OS X by recognizing i386 and friends as |
| 2246 | IA-32 platforms. |
| 2247 | |
| 2248 | Added propagation of stack overflow exceptions that occur while |
| 2249 | compiling nested functions. |
| 2250 | |
| 2251 | Improved debugger with support for recursive break points and |
| 2252 | handling of exceptions that occur in the debugger JavaScript code. |
| 2253 | |
| 2254 | Renamed GetInternal to GetInternalField and SetInternal to |
| 2255 | SetInternalField in the API and moved InternalFieldCount and |
| 2256 | SetInternalFieldCount from FunctionTemplate to ObjectTemplate. |
| 2257 | |

kasper.lund | bd3ec4e | 2008-07-09 11:06:54 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2260 | |
| 2261 | Fixed bug in stack overflow check code for IA-32 targets where a |
| 2262 | non-tagged value in register eax was pushed to the stack. |
| 2263 | |
| 2264 | Fixed potential quadratic behavior when converting strings to |
| 2265 | numbers. |
| 2266 | |
| 2267 | Fixed bug where the return value from Object::SetProperty could |
| 2268 | end up being the property holder instead of the written value. |
| 2269 | |
| 2270 | Improved debugger support by allowing nested break points and by |
| 2271 | dealing with stack-overflows when compiling functions before |
| 2272 | setting break points in them. |
| 2273 | |
