-
-        Ensure V8 is initialized before locking and unlocking threads.
-

-        and postfix count expressions, and assignments now matches the JSC
-        behavior in Safari 4.
-
-        Follow the spec in disallowing function declarations without a name.

-        this is used to use near calls (32-bit displacement) in Code objects.
-
-        Optimized array construction ported to x64 and ARM architectures.
-
-        [ES5] Changed Object.keys to return strings for element indices.

-        Split the global object into two parts: The state holding global
-        object and the global object proxy.
-
-        Fixed bug that affected the value of an assignment to an element

-        properties in the front object.
-
-        Changed the toString behavior on the built-in object constructors
-        to print [native code] instead of the actual source.  Some web
-        applications do not like constructors with complex toString
-        results.
-
-
-2008-10-06: Version 0.3.4
-
-        Changed Array.prototype.sort to use quick sort.
-
-        Fixed code generation issue where leaving a finally block with
-        break or continue would accumulate elements on the expression
-        stack (issue 86).
-

-        (issue 85).
-
-        Improved handling of object literals by canonicalizing object
-        literal maps.  This will allow JSON objects with the same set of
-        properties to share the same map making inline caching work better
-        for JSON objects.
-
-
-2008-09-17: Version 0.3.2
-
-        Generalized the EvalCache into a CompilationCache and enabled it
-        for scripts too.  The current strategy is to retire all entries
-        whenever a mark-sweep collection is started.

-        expression impossible in certain situations (issue 24).
-
-        Fixed even more build issues.
-
-        Optimized calling conventions on ARM.  The conventions on ARM and
-        IA-32 now match.
-
-        Removed static initializers for flags and counters.
-
-        Improved inline caching behavior for uncommon cases where lazily
-        loading Date and RegExp code could force certain code paths go
-        megamorphic.
-
-        Removed arguments adaption for builtins written in C++.  This
-        makes Array.prototype.push and Array.prototype.pop slightly
-        faster.
-
-

-        object.
-
-

-
-        Changed Date.prototype.toLocaleTimeString to not print the
-        timezone part of the time.
-
-        Renamed debug.h to v8-debug.h to reduce the risk of name conflicts
-        with user code.
-
-
-2008-09-02: Version 0.2.5
-
-        Renamed the top level directory 'public' to 'include'.
-
-        Added 'env' option to the SCons build scripts to support
-        overriding the ENV part of the build environment.  This is mostly
-        to support Windows builds in cases where SCons cannot find the
-        correct paths to the Windows SDK, as these paths cannot be passed
-        through shell environment variables.
-
-        Enabled "Buffer Security Check" on for the Windows SCons build and
-        added the linker option /OPT:ICF as an optimization.
-
-        Added the V8 benchmark suite to the repository.
-
-
-2008-09-01: Version 0.2.4
-

-
-        Changed the shell sample to not print the result of executing a
-        script provided on the command line.
-
-        Fixed issue when building samples on Windows using a shared V8
-        library.  Added visibility option on Linux build which makes the
-        generated library 18% smaller.
-
-        Changed build system to accept multiple build modes in one build
-        and generate separate objects, libraries and executables for each
-        mode.
-
-        Removed deferred negation optimization (a * -b => -(a * b)) since
-        this visibly changes operand conversion order.
-
-        Improved parsing performance by introducing stack guard in
-        preparsing.  Without a stack guard preparsing always bails out
-        with stack overflow.
-
-        Changed shell sample to take flags directly from the command-line.
-        Added API call that implements this.
-
-        Added load, quit and version functions to the shell sample so it's
-        easier to run benchmarks and tests.
-
-        Fixed issue with building samples and cctests on 64-bit machines.
-
-        Fixed bug in the runtime system where the prototype chain was not
-        always searched for a setter when setting a property that does not
-        exist locally.
-
-
-2008-08-14: Version 0.2.3
-
-        Improved performance of garbage collection by moving the
-        function that updates pointers during compacting collection
-        into the updating visitor.  This gives the compiler a better
-        chance to inline and avoid a function call per (potential)
-        pointer.
-
-        Extended the shell sample with a --runtime-flags option.
-
-        Added Visual Studio project files for the shell.cc and
-        process.cc samples.
-
-
-2008-08-13: Version 0.2.2
-
-        Improved performance of garbage collection by changing the way
-        we use the marking stack in the event of stack overflow during
-        full garbage collection and by changing the way we mark roots.
-
-        Cleaned up ARM version by removing top of stack caching and by
-        introducing push/pop elimination.
-
-        Cleaned up the way runtime functions are called to allow
-        runtime calls with no arguments.
-
-        Changed Windows build options to make sure that exceptions are
-        disabled and that optimization flags are enabled.
-
-        Added first version of Visual Studio project files.
-
-
-2008-08-06: Version 0.2.1
-
-        Improved performance of unary addition by avoiding runtime calls.
-
-        Fixed the handling of '>' and '<=' to use right-to-left conversion
-        and left-to-right evaluation as specified by ECMA-262.
-
-        Fixed a branch elimination bug on the ARM platform where incorrect
-        code was generated because of overly aggressive branch
-        elimination.
-
-        Improved performance of code that repeatedly assigns the same
-        function to the same property of different objects with the same
-        map.
-
-        Untangled DEBUG and ENABLE_DISASSEMBLER defines.  The disassembler
-        no longer expects DEBUG to be defined.
-
-        Added platform-nullos.cc to serve as the basis for new platform
-        implementations.
-
-
-2008-07-30: Version 0.2.0
-
-        Changed all text files to have native svn:eol-style.
-
-        Added a few samples and support for building them. The samples
-        include a simple shell that can be used to benchmark and test V8.
-
-        Changed V8::GetVersion to return the version as a string.
-
-        Added source for lazily loaded scripts to snapshots and made
-        serialization non-destructive.
-
-        Improved ARM support by fixing the write barrier code to use
-        aligned loads and stores and by removing premature locals
-        optimization that relied on broken support for callee-saved
-        registers (removed).
-
-        Refactored the code for marking live objects during garbage
-        collection and the code for allocating objects in paged
-        spaces. Introduced an abstraction for the map word of a heap-
-        allocated object and changed the memory allocator to allocate
-        executable memory only for spaces that may contain code objects.
-
-        Moved StringBuilder to utils.h and ScopedLock to platform.h, where
-        they can be used by debugging and logging modules. Added
-        thread-safe message queues for dealing with debugger events.
-
-        Fixed the source code reported by toString for certain builtin
-        empty functions and made sure that the prototype property of a
-        function is enumerable.
-
-        Improved performance of converting values to condition flags in
-        generated code.
-
-        Merged disassembler-{arch} files.
-
-
-2008-07-28: Version 0.1.4
-
-        Added support for storing JavaScript stack traces in a stack
-        allocated buffer to make it visible in shallow core dumps.
-        Controlled by the --preallocate-message-memory flag which is
-        disabled by default.
-
-
-2008-07-25: Version 0.1.3
-
-        Fixed bug in JSObject::GetPropertyAttributePostInterceptor where
-        map transitions would count as properties.
-
-        Allowed aliased eval invocations by treating them as evals in the
-        global context. This may change in the future.
-
-        Added support for accessing the last entered context through the
-        API and renamed Context::Current to Context::GetCurrent and
-        Context::GetSecurityContext to Context::GetCurrentSecurityContext.
-
-        Fixed bug in the debugger that would cause the debugger scripts to
-        be recursively loaded and changed all disabling of interrupts to
-        be block-structured.
-
-        Made snapshot data read-only to allow it to be more easily shared
-        across multiple users of V8 when linked as a shared library.
-
-
-2008-07-16: Version 0.1.2
-
-        Fixed building on Mac OS X by recognizing i386 and friends as
-        IA-32 platforms.
-
-        Added propagation of stack overflow exceptions that occur while
-        compiling nested functions.
-
-        Improved debugger with support for recursive break points and
-        handling of exceptions that occur in the debugger JavaScript code.
-
-        Renamed GetInternal to GetInternalField and SetInternal to
-        SetInternalField in the API and moved InternalFieldCount and
-        SetInternalFieldCount from FunctionTemplate to ObjectTemplate.
-
-
-2008-07-09: Version 0.1.1
-
-        Fixed bug in stack overflow check code for IA-32 targets where a
-        non-tagged value in register eax was pushed to the stack.
-
-        Fixed potential quadratic behavior when converting strings to
-        numbers.
-
-        Fixed bug where the return value from Object::SetProperty could
-        end up being the property holder instead of the written value.
-
-        Improved debugger support by allowing nested break points and by
-        dealing with stack-overflows when compiling functions before
-        setting break points in them.
-
-
-2008-07-03: Version 0.1.0
-
-        Initial export.
-
