| 2025 | Fixed bugs that caused catch variables and variables introduced by |
| 2026 | eval to behave incorrectly when using accessors (issues 186, 190 |
| 2027 | and 191). |
| 2028 | |
| 2029 | |
| 2030 | 2009-01-06: Version 0.4.7 |
| 2031 | |
| 2032 | Minor bugfixes and optimizations. |
| 2033 | |
| 2034 | Added command line debugger to D8 shell. |
| 2035 | |
| 2036 | Fixed subtle bug that caused the wrong 'this' to be used when |
| 2037 | calling a caught function in a catch clause. |
| 2038 | |
| 2039 | Inline array loads within loops directly in the code instead of |
| 2040 | always calling a stub. |
| 2041 | |
| 2042 | |
| 2043 | 2008-12-11: Version 0.4.6 |
| 2044 | |
| 2045 | Fixed exception reporting bug where certain exceptions were |
| 2046 | incorrectly reported as uncaught. |
| 2047 | |

| 2053 | sub strings. |
| 2054 | |
| 2055 | Fixed bug in code generation for large switch statements on ARM. |
| 2056 | |
| 2057 | Fixed bug that caused V8 to change the global object template |
| 2058 | passed in by the user. |
| 2059 | |
| 2060 | Changed the API for creating object groups used during garbage |
| 2061 | collection. Entire object groups are now passed to V8 instead of |
| 2062 | individual members of the groups. |
| 2063 | |

| 2073 | call to eval is aliased. |
| 2074 | |
| 2075 | Fixed bug caused by a combination of the compilation cache and |

| 2079 | Added platform support for FreeBSD. |
| 2080 | |
| 2081 | Added support for building V8 on Windows with either the shared or |
| 2082 | static version of MSVCRT |

| 2088 | debugger execution context as its argument to the debugger |
| 2089 | interface. |
| 2090 | |
| 2091 | Changed the type of names of counters from wchar_t to char. |
| 2092 | |
| 2093 | Changed the Windows system call used to compute daylight savings |
| 2094 | time. The system call that we used to use became four times |
| 2095 | slower on WinXP SP3. |
| 2096 | |
| 2097 | Added support in the d8 developer shell for memory-mapped counters |
| 2098 | and added a stats-viewer tool. |
| 2099 | |
| 2100 | Fixed bug in upper/lower case mappings (issue 149). |
| 2101 | |
| 2102 | |
| 2103 | 2008-11-17: Version 0.4.4 |
| 2104 | |
| 2105 | Reduced code size by using shorter instruction encoding when |
| 2106 | possible. |
| 2107 | |
| 2108 | Added a --help option to the shell sample and to the d8 shell. |

| 2113 | |
| 2114 | Fixed bug in out-of-memory handling on ARM. |
| 2115 | |
| 2116 | Implemented shell support for passing arguments to a script from |
| 2117 | the command line. |
| 2118 | |
| 2119 | Fixed bug in date code that made certain date functions return -0 |
| 2120 | instead of 0 for dates before the epoch. |
| 2121 | |
| 2122 | Restricted applications of eval so it can only be used in the |
| 2123 | context of the associated global object. |
| 2124 | |
| 2125 | Treat byte-order marks as whitespace characters. |
| 2126 | |
| 2127 | |
| 2128 | 2008-11-04: Version 0.4.3 |
| 2129 | |
| 2130 | Added support for API accessors that prohibit overwriting by |
| 2131 | accessors defined in JavaScript code by using __defineGetter__ and |
| 2132 | __defineSetter__. |
| 2133 | |
| 2134 | Improved handling of conditionals in test status files. |
| 2135 | |
| 2136 | Introduced access control in propertyIsEnumerable. |

| 2139 | information about the type of the string between operations. |
| 2140 | |
| 2141 | Fixed bug in fast-case code for switch statements that only have |
| 2142 | integer labels. |
| 2143 | |
| 2144 | |
| 2145 | 2008-10-30: Version 0.4.2 |
| 2146 | |
| 2147 | Improved performance of Array.prototype.concat by moving the |
| 2148 | implementation to C++ (issue 123). |
| 2149 | |
| 2150 | Fixed heap growth policy to avoid growing old space to its maximum |
| 2151 | capacity before doing a garbage collection and fixed issue that |
| 2152 | would lead to artificial out of memory situations (issue 129). |
| 2153 | |
| 2154 | Fixed Date.prototype.toLocaleDateString to return the date in the |
| 2155 | same format as WebKit. |
| 2156 | |
| 2157 | Added missing initialization checks to debugger API. |
| 2158 | |
| 2159 | Added removing of unused maps during GC. |

| 2161 | |
| 2162 | 2008-10-28: Version 0.4.1 |
| 2163 | |
| 2164 | Added caching of RegExp data in compilation cache. |

| 2176 | |
| 2177 | Split the global object into two parts: The state holding global |
| 2178 | object and the global object proxy. |
| 2179 | |
| 2180 | Fixed bug that affected the value of an assignment to an element |
| 2181 | in certain cases (issue 116). |
| 2182 | |
| 2183 | Added GetPropertyNames functionality (issue 33) and extra Date |
| 2184 | functions (issue 77) to the API. |
| 2185 | |
| 2186 | Changed WeakReferenceCallback to take a Persistent<Value> instead |
| 2187 | of a Persistent<Object> (issue 101). |
| 2188 | |
| 2189 | Fixed issues with message reporting for exceptions in try-finally |
| 2190 | blocks (issues 73 and 75). |
| 2191 | |
| 2192 | Optimized flattening of strings and string equality checking. |
| 2193 | |
| 2194 | Improved Boyer-Moore implementation for faster indexOf operations. |
| 2195 | |

| 2197 | completion support. |
| 2198 | |
| 2199 | Fixed problem with the receiver passed to functions called from |
| 2200 | eval (issue 124). |
| 2201 | |
| 2202 | |

| 2204 | |
| 2205 | Improved string hash-code distribution by excluding bit-field bits |
| 2206 | from the hash-code. |
| 2207 | |
| 2208 | Changed string search algorithm used in indexOf from KMP to |
| 2209 | Boyer-Moore. |
| 2210 | |
| 2211 | Improved the generated code for the instanceof operator. |
| 2212 | |
| 2213 | Improved performance of slow-case string equality checks by |
| 2214 | specializing the code based on the string representation. |
| 2215 | |
| 2216 | Improve the handling of out-of-memory situations (issue 70). |
| 2217 | |
| 2218 | Improved performance of strict equality checks. |
| 2219 | |
| 2220 | Improved profiler output to make it easier to see anonymous |
| 2221 | functions. |
| 2222 | |
| 2223 | Improved performance of slow-case keyed loads. |
| 2224 | |
| 2225 | Improved property access performance by allocating a number of |
| 2226 | properties in the front object. |
| 2227 | |
| 2228 | Changed the toString behavior on the built-in object constructors |
| 2229 | to print [native code] instead of the actual source. Some web |
| 2230 | applications do not like constructors with complex toString |
| 2231 | results. |
| 2232 | |
| 2233 | |
| 2234 | 2008-10-06: Version 0.3.4 |
| 2235 | |
| 2236 | Changed Array.prototype.sort to use quick sort. |
| 2237 | |
| 2238 | Fixed code generation issue where leaving a finally block with |
| 2239 | break or continue would accumulate elements on the expression |
| 2240 | stack (issue 86). |
| 2241 | |
| 2242 | Made sure that the name accessor on functions returns the expected |
| 2243 | names for builtin JavaScript functions and C++ callback functions. |
| 2244 | |
| 2245 | Added fast case code for extending the property storage array of |
| 2246 | JavaScript objects. |
| 2247 | |
| 2248 | Ported switch statement optimizations introduced in version 0.3.3 |
| 2249 | to the ARM code generator. |
| 2250 | |
| 2251 | Allowed GCC to use strict-aliasing rules when compiling. |
| 2252 | |
| 2253 | Improved performance of arguments object allocation by taking care |
| 2254 | of arguments adaptor frames in the generated code. |
| 2255 | |
| 2256 | Updated the V8 benchmark suite to version 2. |
| 2257 | |
| 2258 | |
| 2259 | 2008-09-25: Version 0.3.3 |
| 2260 | |
| 2261 | Improved handling of relocation information to enable more |
| 2262 | peep-hole optimizations. |
| 2263 | |
| 2264 | Optimized switch statements where all labels are constant small |
| 2265 | integers. |
| 2266 | |
| 2267 | Optimized String.prototype.indexOf for common cases. |
| 2268 | |
| 2269 | Fixed more build issues (issue 80). |
| 2270 | |
| 2271 | Fixed a couple of profiler issues. |
| 2272 | |
| 2273 | Fixed bug where the body of a function created using the Function |
| 2274 | constructor was not allowed to end with a single-line comment |
| 2275 | (issue 85). |
| 2276 | |
| 2277 | Improved handling of object literals by canonicalizing object |
| 2278 | literal maps. This will allow JSON objects with the same set of |
| 2279 | properties to share the same map making inline caching work better |
| 2280 | for JSON objects. |
| 2281 | |
| 2282 | |
| 2283 | 2008-09-17: Version 0.3.2 |
| 2284 | |
| 2285 | Generalized the EvalCache into a CompilationCache and enabled it |
| 2286 | for scripts too. The current strategy is to retire all entries |
| 2287 | whenever a mark-sweep collection is started. |
| 2288 | |
| 2289 | Fixed bug where switch statements containing only a default case |
| 2290 | would lead to an unbalanced stack (issue 69). |
| 2291 | |
| 2292 | Fixed bug that made access to the function in a named function |
| 2293 | expression impossible in certain situations (issue 24). |
| 2294 | |
| 2295 | Fixed even more build issues. |
| 2296 | |
| 2297 | Optimized calling conventions on ARM. The conventions on ARM and |
| 2298 | IA-32 now match. |
| 2299 | |
| 2300 | Removed static initializers for flags and counters. |
| 2301 | |
| 2302 | Improved inline caching behavior for uncommon cases where lazily |
| 2303 | loading Date and RegExp code could force certain code paths go |
| 2304 | megamorphic. |
| 2305 | |
| 2306 | Removed arguments adaption for builtins written in C++. This |
| 2307 | makes Array.prototype.push and Array.prototype.pop slightly |
| 2308 | faster. |
| 2309 | |
| 2310 | |
| 2311 | 2008-09-11: Version 0.3.1 |
| 2312 | |
| 2313 | Fixed a number of build issues. |
| 2314 | |
| 2315 | Fixed problem with missing I-cache flusing on ARM. |
| 2316 | |
| 2317 | Changed space layout in memory management by splitting up |
| 2318 | code space into old data space and code space. |
| 2319 | |
| 2320 | Added utf-8 conversion support to the API (issue 57). |
| 2321 | |
| 2322 | Optimized repeated calls to eval with the same strings. These |
| 2323 | repeated calls are common in web applications. |
| 2324 | |
| 2325 | Added Xcode project file. |
| 2326 | |
| 2327 | Optimized a couple of Array operation. |
| 2328 | |
| 2329 | Fixed parser bug by checking for end-of-string when parsing break |
| 2330 | and continue (issue 35). |
| 2331 | |
| 2332 | Fixed problem where asian characters were not categorized as |
| 2333 | letters. |
| 2334 | |
| 2335 | Fixed bug that disallowed calling functions fetched from an array |
| 2336 | using a string as an array index (issue 32). |
| 2337 | |
| 2338 | Fixed bug where the internal field count on object templates were |
| 2339 | sometimes ignored (issue 54). |
| 2340 | |
| 2341 | Added -f option to the shell sample for compatibility with other |
| 2342 | engines (issue 18). |
| 2343 | |
| 2344 | Added source info to TryCatches in the API. |
| 2345 | |
| 2346 | Fixed problem where the seed for the random number generator was |
| 2347 | clipped in a double to unsigned int conversion. |
| 2348 | |
| 2349 | Fixed bug where cons string symbols were sometimes converted to |
| 2350 | non-symbol flat strings during GC. |
| 2351 | |
| 2352 | Fixed bug in error reporting when attempting to convert null to an |
| 2353 | object. |
| 2354 | |
| 2355 | |
| 2356 | 2008-09-04: Version 0.3.0 |
| 2357 | |
| 2358 | Added support for running tests on the ARM simulator. |
| 2359 | |
| 2360 | Fixed bug in the 'in' operator where negative indices were not |
| 2361 | treated correctly. |
| 2362 | |
| 2363 | Fixed build issues on gcc-4.3.1. |
| 2364 | |
| 2365 | Changed Date.prototype.toLocaleTimeString to not print the |
| 2366 | timezone part of the time. |
| 2367 | |
| 2368 | Renamed debug.h to v8-debug.h to reduce the risk of name conflicts |
| 2369 | with user code. |
| 2370 | |
| 2371 | |
| 2372 | 2008-09-02: Version 0.2.5 |
| 2373 | |
| 2374 | Renamed the top level directory 'public' to 'include'. |
| 2375 | |
| 2376 | Added 'env' option to the SCons build scripts to support |
| 2377 | overriding the ENV part of the build environment. This is mostly |
| 2378 | to support Windows builds in cases where SCons cannot find the |
| 2379 | correct paths to the Windows SDK, as these paths cannot be passed |
| 2380 | through shell environment variables. |
| 2381 | |
| 2382 | Enabled "Buffer Security Check" on for the Windows SCons build and |
| 2383 | added the linker option /OPT:ICF as an optimization. |
| 2384 | |
| 2385 | Added the V8 benchmark suite to the repository. |
| 2386 | |
| 2387 | |
| 2388 | 2008-09-01: Version 0.2.4 |
| 2389 | |
| 2390 | Included mjsunit JavaScript test suite and C++ unit tests. |
| 2391 | |
| 2392 | Changed the shell sample to not print the result of executing a |
| 2393 | script provided on the command line. |
| 2394 | |
| 2395 | Fixed issue when building samples on Windows using a shared V8 |
| 2396 | library. Added visibility option on Linux build which makes the |
| 2397 | generated library 18% smaller. |
| 2398 | |
| 2399 | Changed build system to accept multiple build modes in one build |
| 2400 | and generate separate objects, libraries and executables for each |
| 2401 | mode. |
| 2402 | |
| 2403 | Removed deferred negation optimization (a * -b => -(a * b)) since |
| 2404 | this visibly changes operand conversion order. |
| 2405 | |
| 2406 | Improved parsing performance by introducing stack guard in |
| 2407 | preparsing. Without a stack guard preparsing always bails out |
| 2408 | with stack overflow. |
| 2409 | |
| 2410 | Changed shell sample to take flags directly from the command-line. |
| 2411 | Added API call that implements this. |
| 2412 | |
| 2413 | Added load, quit and version functions to the shell sample so it's |
| 2414 | easier to run benchmarks and tests. |
| 2415 | |
| 2416 | Fixed issue with building samples and cctests on 64-bit machines. |
| 2417 | |
| 2418 | Fixed bug in the runtime system where the prototype chain was not |
| 2419 | always searched for a setter when setting a property that does not |
| 2420 | exist locally. |
| 2421 | |
| 2422 | |
| 2423 | 2008-08-14: Version 0.2.3 |
| 2424 | |
| 2425 | Improved performance of garbage collection by moving the |
| 2426 | function that updates pointers during compacting collection |
| 2427 | into the updating visitor. This gives the compiler a better |
| 2428 | chance to inline and avoid a function call per (potential) |
| 2429 | pointer. |
| 2430 | |
| 2431 | Extended the shell sample with a --runtime-flags option. |
| 2432 | |
| 2433 | Added Visual Studio project files for the shell.cc and |
| 2434 | process.cc samples. |
| 2435 | |
| 2436 | |
| 2437 | 2008-08-13: Version 0.2.2 |
| 2438 | |
| 2439 | Improved performance of garbage collection by changing the way |
| 2440 | we use the marking stack in the event of stack overflow during |
| 2441 | full garbage collection and by changing the way we mark roots. |
| 2442 | |
| 2443 | Cleaned up ARM version by removing top of stack caching and by |
| 2444 | introducing push/pop elimination. |
| 2445 | |
| 2446 | Cleaned up the way runtime functions are called to allow |
| 2447 | runtime calls with no arguments. |
| 2448 | |
| 2449 | Changed Windows build options to make sure that exceptions are |
| 2450 | disabled and that optimization flags are enabled. |
| 2451 | |
| 2452 | Added first version of Visual Studio project files. |
| 2453 | |
| 2454 | |
| 2455 | 2008-08-06: Version 0.2.1 |
| 2456 | |
| 2457 | Improved performance of unary addition by avoiding runtime calls. |
| 2458 | |
| 2459 | Fixed the handling of '>' and '<=' to use right-to-left conversion |
| 2460 | and left-to-right evaluation as specified by ECMA-262. |
| 2461 | |
| 2462 | Fixed a branch elimination bug on the ARM platform where incorrect |
| 2463 | code was generated because of overly aggressive branch |
| 2464 | elimination. |
| 2465 | |
| 2466 | Improved performance of code that repeatedly assigns the same |
| 2467 | function to the same property of different objects with the same |
| 2468 | map. |
| 2469 | |
| 2470 | Untangled DEBUG and ENABLE_DISASSEMBLER defines. The disassembler |
| 2471 | no longer expects DEBUG to be defined. |
| 2472 | |
| 2473 | Added platform-nullos.cc to serve as the basis for new platform |
| 2474 | implementations. |
| 2475 | |
| 2476 | |
| 2477 | 2008-07-30: Version 0.2.0 |
| 2478 | |
| 2479 | Changed all text files to have native svn:eol-style. |
| 2480 | |
| 2481 | Added a few samples and support for building them. The samples |
| 2482 | include a simple shell that can be used to benchmark and test V8. |
| 2483 | |
| 2484 | Changed V8::GetVersion to return the version as a string. |
| 2485 | |
| 2486 | Added source for lazily loaded scripts to snapshots and made |
| 2487 | serialization non-destructive. |
| 2488 | |
| 2489 | Improved ARM support by fixing the write barrier code to use |
| 2490 | aligned loads and stores and by removing premature locals |
| 2491 | optimization that relied on broken support for callee-saved |
| 2492 | registers (removed). |
| 2493 | |
| 2494 | Refactored the code for marking live objects during garbage |
| 2495 | collection and the code for allocating objects in paged |
| 2496 | spaces. Introduced an abstraction for the map word of a heap- |
| 2497 | allocated object and changed the memory allocator to allocate |
| 2498 | executable memory only for spaces that may contain code objects. |
| 2499 | |
| 2500 | Moved StringBuilder to utils.h and ScopedLock to platform.h, where |
| 2501 | they can be used by debugging and logging modules. Added |
| 2502 | thread-safe message queues for dealing with debugger events. |
| 2503 | |
| 2504 | Fixed the source code reported by toString for certain builtin |
| 2505 | empty functions and made sure that the prototype property of a |
| 2506 | function is enumerable. |
| 2507 | |
| 2508 | Improved performance of converting values to condition flags in |
| 2509 | generated code. |
| 2510 | |
| 2511 | Merged disassembler-{arch} files. |
| 2512 | |

| 2514 | 2008-07-28: Version 0.1.4 |
| 2515 | |
| 2516 | Added support for storing JavaScript stack traces in a stack |
| 2517 | allocated buffer to make it visible in shallow core dumps. |
| 2518 | Controlled by the --preallocate-message-memory flag which is |
| 2519 | disabled by default. |
| 2520 | |
| 2521 | |
| 2522 | 2008-07-25: Version 0.1.3 |
| 2523 | |
| 2524 | Fixed bug in JSObject::GetPropertyAttributePostInterceptor where |
| 2525 | map transitions would count as properties. |
| 2526 | |
| 2527 | Allowed aliased eval invocations by treating them as evals in the |
| 2528 | global context. This may change in the future. |
| 2529 | |
| 2530 | Added support for accessing the last entered context through the |
| 2531 | API and renamed Context::Current to Context::GetCurrent and |
| 2532 | Context::GetSecurityContext to Context::GetCurrentSecurityContext. |
| 2533 | |
| 2534 | Fixed bug in the debugger that would cause the debugger scripts to |
| 2535 | be recursively loaded and changed all disabling of interrupts to |
| 2536 | be block-structured. |
| 2537 | |
| 2538 | Made snapshot data read-only to allow it to be more easily shared |
| 2539 | across multiple users of V8 when linked as a shared library. |
| 2540 | |
| 2541 | |
| 2542 | 2008-07-16: Version 0.1.2 |
| 2543 | |
| 2544 | Fixed building on Mac OS X by recognizing i386 and friends as |
| 2545 | IA-32 platforms. |
| 2546 | |
| 2547 | Added propagation of stack overflow exceptions that occur while |
| 2548 | compiling nested functions. |
| 2549 | |
| 2550 | Improved debugger with support for recursive break points and |
| 2551 | handling of exceptions that occur in the debugger JavaScript code. |
| 2552 | |
| 2553 | Renamed GetInternal to GetInternalField and SetInternal to |
| 2554 | SetInternalField in the API and moved InternalFieldCount and |
| 2555 | SetInternalFieldCount from FunctionTemplate to ObjectTemplate. |
| 2556 | |
| 2557 | |
| 2558 | 2008-07-09: Version 0.1.1 |
| 2559 | |
| 2560 | Fixed bug in stack overflow check code for IA-32 targets where a |
| 2561 | non-tagged value in register eax was pushed to the stack. |
| 2562 | |
| 2563 | Fixed potential quadratic behavior when converting strings to |
| 2564 | numbers. |
| 2565 | |
| 2566 | Fixed bug where the return value from Object::SetProperty could |
| 2567 | end up being the property holder instead of the written value. |
| 2568 | |
| 2569 | Improved debugger support by allowing nested break points and by |
| 2570 | dealing with stack-overflows when compiling functions before |
| 2571 | setting break points in them. |
| 2572 | |
| 2573 | |
| 2574 | 2008-07-03: Version 0.1.0 |
| 2575 | |
| 2576 | Initial export. |
