Revision history for Perl extension JavaScript.

1.16 2010-02-20

• Fixed a bunch of memory leaks (Scott++ for reporting them)
• Added some missing private docs for jsc_set_pending_exception

1.15 2010-01-04

• It's now possible to set a pending exception in the context from Perl space (Scott McWhirter)
• can now set JS_LIB_NAME in environment prior to running perl Makefile.PL so that different library name can be specified (James)
• binding a value explicitly unsets $@ after it tests to see if something has been bound. (James)

1.14 2009-12-01

• No functional changes, just a re-dist. (Damn you OS X for preserving resource forks when I don't want it...)

1.13 2009-11-30

• Fixes compilation issues agains SM from MacPorts. [rt.cpan.org #48702] (Dominic Mitchell)
• Fixes compilation issues on Win32 (Apachez)
• Don't try to reinit UTF8 cstrings if already done as that'll assert libjs
• Don't consume the elements of arrays when converting to JS. [rt.cpan.org #46356] (Sergey Zhuravlev)
• Added support for Generators (James Duncan)

1.12 2009-04-04

• Guard against stack corruption (Salvador Ortiz Garcia)
• 64-bit build issues (Salvador Ortiz Garcia)
• Updated Makefile.PL to use new META_* instead of EXTRA_META for repo.
• Update UTF8 stuff to work with SM 1.8 (James Duncan)
• Added a native PerlSub type that encapsulates Perl subs.
• Converts SM regexps to Perl regexps (James Duncan)
• Added 'apply' method to bound Perl subs (James Duncan)
  • JavaScript::Context is now a PJS_Context (T_PTROBJ) and not a hash
  • JavaScript::Error now has a stacktrace method that returns the JS stacktrace.

• Warn user that JS_THREADSAFE is not what's recommended.
• Added a native PerlHash type that encapsulates a Perl hash reference in JavaScript.
• Added a native PerlArray type that encapsulates a Perl array reference in JavaScript.
• Changed the linked list that stores bound classes to a pair of HVs storing JavaScript::PerlClass objects instead which are basically just PJS_Class instances.
• Changed the linked list that stores bound functions to an HV storing JavaScript::PerlFunction objects instead which are basically just PJS_Function* instances.
• Fixed a couple of problems that cause contexts no to be destroyed when supposed to
• Added resources section to META.yml with pointer to repository
• Improved the test suite a bit by naming tests

1.09 2008-08-03

• It's now possible to set and get the version of JS our context is dealing with since in some cases such as using 'let' and 'yield' we actually have to specify that we want 1.7 features.
• Fix a bunch of small pod issues. [rt.cpan.org #30333]
• Fix Changes (this file) to use ISO 8601 dates

1.08 2008-05-08

• Fixes Makefile.PL issues which made it fail on various platforms when trying to compile test app.
• Added option to skip building of test app. Set environment variable JS_FORCE to a true value.

1.07 2008-05-06

• Makefile.PL should abort with exit code 0 if conditions are not met instead of exit code 1.
• Don't increase refcount for object originating from Perl (James Duncan).
• Make bind_value croak if trying to rebind an already existing property.
• bind_value (object|function) will now throw an error if the target already exists. [rt.cpan.org #35572]
• Added unbind_value to remove objects, functions and value from the context. [rt.cpan.org #35572]
• Fix longtime memory leak caused by decreasing refcount on RV instead of on the SV the RV references. [rt.cpan.org #35571]

1.06 2008-04-18

• Objects returned when creating constructor for bound classes should not increment refcount because this causes the objects to never be freed (James Duncan)
• Docs stated argument constructor could be omitted in bind_class which wasn't the case and so now it can and a default constructor will be created.

1.05 2008-04-01

• Drop support for error handlers
• This module now requires SpiderMonkey 1.7 or later.
• Makefile.PL now compiles a small test to see if libs and headers can be found
• Makefile.PL now discovers install locations on CentOS5 (Gavin Carr)
• Drop support for Perl 5.6.x and earlier because we need some API symbols not available there and they don't support unicode properly either. [rt.cpan.org #31114]

1.04 2007-11-17

• Skip exception tests on engines less than 1.7 since these seem to be broken.

• Convert 64bit Perl ints to JSDouble if they are too big to fit in JS ints [rt.cpan.org #26474] (Niko Tyni)
• Add more include paths when building on debian [rt.cpan.org #26411] (Niko Tyni)
• Fix typo in exceptions.c that didn't get global object correctly [rt.cpan.org #26411] (Niko Tyni)
• Use JS_ExecuteScript instead of js_Execute [rt.cpan.org #26411] (Niko Tyni)
• Allow keys/properties to be unicode (Fotango)
• Object construction can now throw exceptions and it'll propagate to JS space [rt.cpan.org #26215]
• Handle recursive structures better (Fotango)
• Specify $(O_FILES) instead as a list of .o files as Writefile(OBJECT => ...)
• Use JS_CallFunction instead of js_InternalCall so we can link aginst libjs build with hidden internals [rt.cpan.org #26411]
• Remove support for custom stacksize since it's not what we thought it was (Fotango)
• Add tests for exceptions (Fotango)
• Split up giant .XS file into smaller pieces

• Skip t/24-c-level-interrupt-handler.t if Inline::C is not installed (Fotango)

• A report->linebuf that's NULL should be undefined and not an empty string (Fotango)
• Use SvPVutf8 macro instead of accessing via sv_2svutf8 (Fotango)
• Added JavaScript->supports(@features) to check feature support such as e4x, ut8, threading.
