3.4.0 - When setting envvar DOWNLOAD_STATIC_LIBV8=1 on Linux at build-time, the configure script automatically downloads a static libv8, instead of looking for libv8 on the system. This allows the package to be installed on distros that do not have libv8, or ship with a very old V8. - The above should work for all x86_64 Linux systems with at least gcc-4.8.5 and is enabled by default on Travis and Github Actions. - Do not assume bash in configure script 3.3.1 - Fix a bug in the configure script 3.3.0 - Use CXX14 when available, required as of libv8 version 8.7.80 3.2.0 - Fix bug with pointer compression feature-test on Debian / Anaconda - Linux: increase JS stack limit, because of problems with new libv8 on Fedora. - Add FatalErrorHandler and MessageListener callbacks (that just print stuff) - Fix UBSAN error during teardown (package unload) 3.1.0 - Fix configure script for pointer compression in upcoming V8 engine 8.4 - MacOS: binary packagess now ship with V8 engine 8.3 3.0.2 - Windows: fix text encoding bug introduced in 3.0 for non-ascii text. - Fix unit test for big-endian systems 3.0.1 - Fix build for old versions of R using old compilers that do not default to C++11 3.0 - Internal rewrite of object serialization to prepare for wasm - Automatically convert raw vectors to/from Uint8Array in eval/get/assign - Experimental wasm API + test - Fix callback API crashes in V8 7.9+ (Jan Marvin, #70, #71, #75) - Build with -DV8_ENABLE_CHECKS to get better error messages 2.3 - Fix for removed API in libv8 version 7.7 2.2 - Fixes for API changes in libv8 version 7.4 and 7.5 - MacOS: fix include/linker path for new location of v8 2.1 - Remove special casing for libnode-dev on Debian: libnode-dev now officially provides and symlinks libv8-dev. - Fix build for new V8 7.3.492.22 (Jan Marvin, #55) 2.0 - Major upgrade: now support libv8 version 6.x and up. Note that this means we move to ES2015+ adding support for promises, async, etc. This may change the behavior of certain JavaScript libraries. - For now we also still stupport building with legacy V8 (3.14) - Debian Buster: support building with libnode-dev - Fedora: support building with v8-devel (V8 6.7.17) - MacOS: update binary package to V8 7.2.502.24 1.6 (unreleased) - Let Rcpp generated R_init_V8() - Add unit test for the exception problem on OSX 10.11 1.5 - Homebrew has moved V8 (again), now it's called v8@3.15 1.4 - Fix autobrew for OSX Mavericks 1.3 - Extract autobrew script to separate repo - Add symbol registration 1.2 - Improve configure script to check for the correct version of libv8 - Fedora 25+ requires v8-314-devel instead of v8-devel 1.1 - Use C++ 'new' and 'delete' instead of nodelist to keep contexts in scope 1.0.3 - Update homebrew URL in configure script 1.0.2 - Update URL of browserify logo 1.0.1 - Fix internal stop() function for new testthat - ctx$eval(character(0)) does not raise error anymore - Remove references to new_context() in favor of v8() - Use the new 'COMPILED_BY' variable on windows - Updated the URL to the V8 homepage in DESCRIPTION 1.0 - Remove UTF-8 workarounds now that Rcpp has proper UTF-8 support 0.10 - Add the console.r callback JavaScript api 0.9 - Fix for OSX cran builder - Add 'v8' as a more descriptive alias for 'new_context' - Update libv8 on Windows to 3.15 - Add support for the new windows tool chain 0.8 - Fix configure script for OSX - Add 'v8' as a more descriptive alias for 'new_context' - Update libv8 on Windows to 3.15 - Add support for the new windows tool chain 0.7 - Deprecated support for I() removed. Use JS() instead - Refactored configure script to use pkg-config if available. - Updated libv8 brew script on OSX to v8-3.15 - Update libv8 static builds on windows to v3.14.5.10 - Ship separate libraries for win32 for more recent compilers 0.6 - Breaking change: use JS() instead of I() to mark strings as literal JavaScript. - ct$source() now always assumes UTF-8 data, even on Windows. - Use the new V8_types.h feature from Rcpp 0.11.5 - Start with custom code completion within ct$console() for R 3.2.0 0.5 - Add support for Typed Arrays
