  release_date: '2014-04-13'
  description: 'alpha, API improvements, logging, bug/portability fixes'

  maintained: false
  changes:
    - "Avoid 'out of regs' for large expressions by adding more comprehensive register shuffling and indirect variants of several bytecode opcodes"

    - "Incompatible API change: errhandler_index argument has been removed from all protected API calls as unnecessary"
    - "Add duk_push_heap_stash(), duk_push_global_stash(), and duk_push_thread_stash() to provide C code with stashes for storing values invisible to ECMAScript code"
    - "Add duk_safe_to_string() and duk_safe_to_lstring() to make it easier to write result printing in C"
    - "Add protected variants of eval/compile: duk_peval(), duk_peval_string(), duk_peval_file(), duk_pcompile(), duk_pcompile_string(), duk_pcompile_file()"
    - "duk_pcall_prop() now catches invalid stack index errors and property lookup errors which happen before the actual call"

    - "Buffer data areas no longer have an automatic NUL terminator to avoid rounding user-requested allocation sizes upwards unnecessarily"
    - "Buffer constructor behavior changes: number argument creates a buffer of a certain size; optional second argument indicates whether a buffer should be dynamic or fixed"
    - "Change Array.prototype.splice() behavior so that if 2nd argument (deleteCount) is not given, splice to end of array instead of treating like deleteCount was zero: the new behavior is non-standard but is the real world behavior used by V8, Rhino, Spidermonkey, etc"
    - "Add an automatic 'length' property to Duktape/C functions"
    - "Add a feature option to provide a 'caller' property for non-strict functions, with behavior similar to the (non-standard) behavior in e.g. V8 and Rhino"
    - "Add a feature option to disable automatic zeroing of data areas of buffer values"
    - "Improve self tests to include byte order validation"
    - "Allow the global eval() function to be called from C code (causes an indirect eval); this was at least an issue with a bound eval() call"

  release_date: '2014-07-11'
  description: 'alpha, modules, ES2015 subset, bug/portability fixes'
  filename: 'duktape-0.11.0.tar.xz'
  maintained: false
  changes:
    - "Add a built-in module loader (i.e. a require() function) based on CommonJS modules v1.1.1; user must always provide a module search function (Duktape.modSearch)"
    - "Add Object.setPrototypeOf() and Object.prototype.__proto__, both borrowed from ES2015 draft, to improve internal prototype handling"
    - "Add proxy objects borrowed from ES2015 draft to allow property virtualization, subset limited to the following traps: has, get, set, deleteProperty, enumerate, ownKeys"
    - "Add property name as a non-standard setter/getter argument to make it possible to share a single setter/getter pair for multiple properties"
    - "Allow non-standard dollar escape inside character classes (previously they were already allowed elsewhere), to support non-standard regexps like /[\\$]/"
    - "Add debug API calls to dump the stack top and values in the current context, see e.g. duk_dump_context_stdout()"
    - "Add convenience API calls: duk_push_uint(), duk_get_global_string()"
    - "Add more variants for eval/compile (such as duk_eval_lstring() and duk_compile_lstring()) and avoid interning the source code when compiling from a user provided string (useful in low memory environments)"
    - "Add duk_copy() API call, essentially shorthand for duk_dup() + duk_replace()"
    - "Align duk_to_fixed_buffer() arguments and return value with duk_to_buffer() (this is an API incompatible change); add duk_to_dynamic_buffer()"
    - "Implement the DUK_COMPILE_FUNCTION flag for duk_compile()"
    - "Remove Duktape.line() as redundant to Duktape.act()"
    - "Serialize negative zero as '-0' in JSONX and JSONC"
    - "Public API C typing wrapped behind typedefs to allow porting to more exotic platforms, e.g. platforms where 'int' is a 16-bit type; API docs updated to describe how type wrapping affects calling code (see new section 'C types')"
    - "Internal C typing wrapped throughout to allow porting to more exotic platforms, e.g. platforms where 'int' is a 16-bit type"
    - "Rename some feature options (DUK_OPT_xxx) for consistency, please check any options you use against the up-to-date options list"
    - "Rename Duktape.errcreate and Duktape.errthrow to Duktape.errCreate and Duktape.errThrow for naming consistency"
    - "Rename Duktape's custom JSONX format to avoid confusion with JSONx (XML encoding for JSON); new names are JX and JC ('jx' and 'jc' in APIs, DUK_OPT_NO_JX and DUK_OPT_NO_JC in feature options)"
    - "Compact the automatic function .prototype property, which previously had 1 unused property slot"
    - "Use 'anon' instead of 'empty' for the function name in toString() coercion of an anonymous function, matching traceback behavior"
    - "The expressions !0 and !1 are now constant folded by the compiler as they're often found in minified code; also !true and !false are constant folded"
    - "Remove the 256 character limitation for duk_log(), log messages can now be arbitrarily long but short messages (<= 256) are still formatted efficiently using a stack buffer"
    - "Improve non-C99 build: type detection should now work on (some) 64-bit platforms too, and non-debug build should now generate much fewer (or no) warnings; this also improves C++ build"
    - "Add support for X32 ABI (gcc -mx32 option)"
    - "Move platform and feature detection into duktape.h, also for internal types, which allows type wrappers to be applied to the public API"
    - "Add a safety limit for compiled bytecode byte size and maximum line number used to ensure pc-to-line internal data structure limits are not exceeded"
    - "Fix a number conversion related incorrect assertion triggered by the test262 test suite"
    - "Fix JSON.parse() handling for '__proto__' named own property, which should be parsed as a normal property of that name instead of changing the object's prototype"
    - "Fix a duk_push_sprintf() bug: for long formatted strings Duktape would reuse a va_list without copying it, which lead to memory unsafe behavior"
    - "Fix a 'delete' bug: if delete target was a string and key was 'length' or a valid character index, value stack was left in an inconsistent state in non-strict mode (caused an assertion failure)"
    - "Fix a rare math optimization issue in the Date built-in, which caused a corner case test (test-bi-date-canceling.js) to fail on e.g. 64-bit Ubuntu, gcc 4.8.1, -m32, and no -std=c99"
    - "Fix a few corner case pointer wrapping bugs in duk_set_top() and a few other value stack index handling functions"
    - "Portability fix for avoiding potentially non-portable signed integer constants internally (e.g. use 0x7fffffffL - 1L instead of -0x80000000L); this fixed a concrete problem with at least VS2010 + x64"
    - "Portability fix for avoiding direct function pointers to built-in functions (especially math functions) because they may be implemented as inline functions or macros on some platforms or polyfill headers"
    - "Portability fixes for MSVC, avoid secure CRT warnings to work better with Windows Store apps"
    - "Portability fixes for VS2010, avoid ending up with a packed value representation on x64 when standard integer headers are not available (also added a self test to catch such cases)"
    - "Reduce warnings generated by /Wp64 option of VS2010 when compiling for x86; the remainings warnings are harmless and cannot be completely removed, see guide documentation for more information"
    - "Portability fix for DUK_OPT_SEGFAULT_ON_PANIC when C99 types are not available"

    - "Portability fixes for newer Emscripten version, Dukweb.js now works with Firefox"
    - "A few polyfills for non-standard but still commonly used features are provided in the distributable polyfills/ directory"

- version: '0.12.0'
  release_date: '2014-09-26'
  description: 'beta, bug fixes, stabilization release'
  filename: 'duktape-0.12.0.tar.xz'
  maintained: false
  changes:
    - "Beta release for stabilization: feature freeze until 1.0.0 release, most work will be testing, bug fixes, and documentation"
    - "Remove undocumented duk_xmove(), add duk_xmove_top() and duk_xcopy_top() (duk_xcopy_top() provides the same semantics as the earlier undocumented duk_xmove())"
    - "Change strictness behavior for Duktape API calls: all API calls now have ECMAScript strict semantics, even when a call is made with an empty call stack outside of any Duktape/C function"
    - "Change strictness handling of duk_eval() and variants so that all code is evaluated in non-strict mode by default (unless the code itself contains a 'use strict' directive); without this change the strictness would depend on whether a Duktape/C function call was active or not"
    - "Change Array.prototype.concat() and Array.prototype.map() behavior so that trailing non-existent elements are counted towards the result array length; this behavior seems to be non-standard but is the real world behavior used by V8, Rhino, and Spidermonkey at least"
    - "Add API call duk_set_global_object() which allows the global object of a context to be replaced; this is useful as an initial mechanism for proper sandboxing of ECMAScript code"
    - "Add API calls duk_get_prototype() and duk_set_prototype() for getting and setting an object's 'internal prototype' from C code"
    - "Add API calls duk_get_finalizer() and duk_set_finalizer() for getting and setting an object's finalizer from C code"
    - "Add API calls for function 'magic' which allows a 16-bit signed integer to be associated (cheaply) with a Duktape/C function"
    - "Treat any strings whose byte representation begins with 0xFF as internal, so that user code can use hidden internal properties like Duktape does internally; such properties are not enumerated or returned by e.g. getOwnPropertyNames()"
    - "Fix the object property allocation resizing algorithm to avoid unbounded memory usage with some insert/delete sequences (see test-bug-object-prop-alloc-unbounded.js)"
    - "Use an equivalent year (matching leap-year-ness and weekday of Jan 1) for local tzoffset calculations outside the [1971,2037] year range to improve local time handling"
    - "Use gmtime() + localtime() on Unix (instead of gmtime() twice) for local tzoffset, fixing some DST cases"
    - "Improve parsing of a local time (new Date(2012, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5)) using an iterative algorithm to get a more accurate tzoffset/DST estimate"
    - "Apply E5.1 Section 15.3.5.4 TypeError throwing also when the property value is a bound strict function, previously the special 'caller' property behavior was only applied when 'caller' value was a non-bound strict mode function"
    - "Reject deletion of plain buffer indexed elements (previously this behavior was implemented only for Buffer objects), i.e. delete returns false (in non-strict functions) or throws a TypeError (in strict functions)"
    - "Reject empty throw statement ('throw;') and reject a newline which occurs between a 'throw' and its argument"
    - "Disable internal interrupt mechanism in anticipation of 1.0 release since there will be no API to use it"
    - "Fix value stack reserve handling for function calls: a function call (ECMAScript or Duktape/C) might reduce the valstack 'checked size' which was previously requested by user code (for more detail, see API test case test-dev-valstack-checked-size-call.c)"
    - "Fix finalizer handling for Proxy objects: if a Proxy object was reachable at heap destruction and the target object had a finalizer, the finalizer would also be executed for the Proxy object"
    - "Fix a few Date bugs for large out-of-range years which caused some assert failures and incorrect behavior when year was out of ECMAScript range (e.g. year 870e6 and year -200e6)"
    - "Minor compile warnings fixes for non-default options (e.g. when reference counting is disabled)"
    - "Make objects and functions defined by included polyfills non-enumerable so that they don't enumerate e.g. in a for-in loop"
    - "A few more polyfills"

  filename: 'duktape-1.0.0.tar.xz'
  changes:
    - "Feature complete baseline release"
    - "Add convenience API call: duk_put_global_string()"
    - "Rename duk_is_fixed() to duk_is_fixed_buffer() and duk_is_dynamic() to duk_is_dynamic_buffer() for consistency with other API calls"
    - "Rename Duktape internal keys to start with an uppercase character (e.g. '\\xFFValue') so that user internal keys which begin with a lowercase character (e.g. '\\xFFptr') won't conflict by default"
    - "Add OS and compiler strings to Duktape.env"
    - "Make error 'tracedata' an internal property for better sandboxing"
    - "Rename members of struct duk_memory_functions to have a '_func' suffix, to avoid conflicting with standard library names (which is problematic if the standard names are #defines)"
    - "Add DUK_OPT_DLL_BUILD, which should be enabled for both Duktape and application build when Duktape is built as a DLL; on Windows it makes Duktape use __declspec(dllexport) and __declspec(dllimport) for public API symbols"
    - "Rename RELEASES.txt, AUTHORS.txt, and README.txt files to .rst suffix for better automatic formatting"
    - "Fix a mark-and-sweep finalizer bug which could cause memory safety issues when finalizer execution was disabled for a mark-and-sweep round"
    - "Fix a mark-and-sweep zero-size realloc() bug which could happen when an initial zero-size realloc() failed (this shouldn't normally happen but was triggered by GC torture testing)"
    - "Fix an assertion failure when using labelled block statements; some labelled block statements still cause an internal error ('INVALID opcode 0') but don't cause assert failures"
    - "Fix an assertion failure when using a try-catch in a function with a lot of constants (more than 511 string or non-integer constants); a compile error happens now instead to prevent unsafe behavior"
    - "Fix duk_dump_context_stderr() which incorrectly dumped to stdout"
    - "Fix require() resolution of relative module identifiers, which was off by one component (GH-48)"
    - "Fix DUK_INVALID_INDEX define value, it used INT_MIN directly"

    - "Fix duk_peval_file(), duk_peval_file_noresult() and duk_pcompile_file() to avoid throwing an error for a missing file"
    - "Fix compile error for DUK_OPT_NO_FILE_IO"
    - "Regexp internal limit errors changed from Error to RangeError"
    - "Change command line example to be 'barebones' by default, with readline enabled via DUK_CMDLINE_FANCY"

- version: '1.1.0'
  release_date: '2015-01-09'
  description: 'low memory improvements'
  filename: 'duktape-1.1.0.tar.xz'
  changes:
    - "Main release goal: improved low memory support to allow Duktape to run better on devices with 128kB (or even 96kB) system memory; with the changes in this release, Duktape initial RAM usage is reduced from about 46kB to 22kB for a 32-bit target when all low memory features are enabled"
    - "Add lightfunc (DUK_TYPE_LIGHTFUNC) primitive type, representing a Duktape/C function with a plain tagged value without any heap allocations"
    - "Add duk_push_c_lightfunc() and duk_is_lightfunc() API calls to push user lightfuncs on the value stack and to check if a value is a lightfunc"
    - "Add feature option DUK_OPT_LIGHTFUNC_BUILTINS which causes Duktape to use lightfuncs for almost all built-in functions, saving around 14kB of Duktape heap on 32-bit platforms"
    - "Add multiple feature options to use 16-bit fields and pointer compression for reducing memory usage on low memory systems, see doc/low-memory.rst for detailed discussion"
    - "Add DUK_OPT_EXTERNAL_STRINGS to enable support for external strings which are like dynamic buffers: a fixed size string header is allocated from the Duktape heap, but the data is behind a pointer"
    - "Add DUK_OPT_EXTSTR_INTERN_CHECK and DUK_OPT_EXTSTR_FREE (used with DUK_OPT_EXTERNAL_STRINGS) to allow string data to be held outside the Duktape heap, which is useful in low memory environments; see doc/low-memory.rst for detailed discussion"
    - "Add DUK_OPT_STRTAB_CHAIN and DUK_OPT_STRTAB_CHAIN_SIZE=nnn which enable an alternate string table algorithm intended for low memory environments; the algorithm uses separate chaining with arrays, making allocation behavior easier to handle using a pool allocator, see doc/low-memory.rst"
    - "Add duk_def_prop() which allows creation of accessor (getter/setter) properties and other custom properties from C code (instead of using Object.defineProperty() from ECMAScript code)"
    - "Add duk_is_error() API call to check if a value inherits from Error"
    - "Add duk_get_error_code() API call to check if a value inherits from Error, and if so, map its error class to DUK_ERR_xxx codes so that checking for built-in errors is more convenient"
    - "Add duk_get_heapptr(), duk_require_heapptr(), and duk_push_heapptr() to get borrowed void pointer references to Duktape heap objects (objects, strings, buffers)"
    - "Add vararg variants duk_error_va(), duk_push_error_object_va(), and duk_log_va()"

    - "Add a short term workaround for case sensitive RegExp performance using a 128kB canonicalization lookup table; the workaround is disabled by default because of the relatively large code footprint, enable using DUK_OPT_REGEXP_CANON_WORKAROUND or DUK_USE_REGEXP_CANON_WORKAROUND if editing duk_config.h directly (GH-411)"
    - "Add a fastint downgrade check for yield/resume values (GH-482)"
    - "Improve error message for source code UTF-8 decode error (GH-504, GH-506)"

- version: '1.5.0'
  release_date: '2016-05-03'
  description: 'low memory and debugger improvements'
  filename: 'duktape-1.5.0.tar.xz'
  changes:
    - "Add support for placing Duktape and user strings and objects into ROM (read-only data section) which reduces the startup RAM usage of a low memory build to ~3kB (from ~27kB) (GH-559)"
    - "Add debugger heap object inspection commands GetHeapObjInfo, GetObjPropDesc, and GetObjPropDescRange, which allow a debug client to inspect heap objects in detail, walk prototype chains, etc (GH-358, GH-617)"
    - "Garbage collection is now automatically disabled when execution is paused in the debugger, which facilitates safe heap walking (GH-617)"
    - "Add a config option to drop the 16-bit character length field from duk_hstring to reduce duk_hstring header overhead from 12 to 8 bytes, which reduces low memory startup size using default RAM-based built-ins from 27kB to 24kB (GH-642)"
    - "Allow ES2015 unescaped curly braces ('{' and '}') in regular expressions (non-standard before ES2015 Annex B) when no valid quantifier can be parsed; this improves compatibility with existing Javascript code which often assumes support for literal curly braces (GH-142, GH-513, GH-547, GH-565)"
    - "Change Function object .toString() output to be Emscripten compatible: anonymous functions won't get an automatic 'anon' name, and the function type is indicated using a fake directive rather than a comment; for example, 'function () {\"ecmascript\"}' (GH-554)"
    - "Make .stack format a bit more user friendly; if you are parsing the stack trace format this may need changes in your parser (GH-588, GH-592)"
    - "Change automatic filename of compiled functions and eval code from __FILE__ to 'eval' (eval code) or 'input' (other compiled code) when no explicit filename is known; this makes file/line information thrown from such code more useful in practice (GH-516, GH-644)"
    - "Add support for non-standard module.filename and module.name used for the internal module wrapper function's .fileName and .name properties respectively (if unset, defaults are resolved module ID and last component of the resolved module ID, respectively); these properties affect e.g. stack traces and can now be controlled by modSearch() (GH-639)"
    - "Add a .name property for the require() functions created for included modules, so that they have a readable name in stack traces like the top level require() function (GH-639)"
    - "Add Windows version of the debugger example TCP transport (GH-579)"
    - "Add support for application specific debugger commands (AppRequest) and notifications (AppNotify) (GH-596, GH-563)"

    - "Extend debugger GetBytecode command to accept an optional callstack level or direct heap object argument (GH-610)"

    - "Change the error type for some current internal errors to RangeError when the underlying cause is an implementation limit (like compiler temp limit) rather than an unexpected internal situation (GH-661)"
    - "Minor changes to error message strings (GH-661)"
    - "Avoid reference loop for eval() code (previously caused by an automatic .prototype property added for the internal function the eval source compiles to); this allows eval functions to be collected immediately by reference counting rather than by mark-and-sweep (GH-717)"
    - "Fix potentially memory unsafe behavior when a refcount-triggered finalizer function rescues an object; the memory unsafe behavior doesn't happen immediately which makes the cause of the unsafe behavior difficult to diagnose (GH-531)"
    - "Fix memory unsafe behavior when an external plain buffer was allocated with heap pointer compression enabled (DUK_USE_HEAPPTR16) (GH-618)"
    - "Fix pointer arithmetic portability issues with platforms/compilers with exotic pointer models by avoiding arithmetic and binary operations on (u)intptr_t values (GH-530, GH-539)"

    - "Fix debugger transport write error bug which could cause Duktape to call the debug transport write callback after it had already returned an error (GH-599)"
    - "Fix debugger PutVar command bug where a failure to read the PutVar variable value (e.g. due to a transport detach) could lead to memory unsafe behavior (GH-610)"
    - "Fix JSON.stringify() fast path handling of boxed values to actually call .toString() and/or .valueOf(); previously the fast path assumed that these operations wouldn't be overridden by user code and accessed the internal value directly (GH-447)"
    - "Fix conditional compilation for default alloc providers (enabled by default using DUK_USE_PROVIDE_DEFAULT_ALLOC_FUNCTIONS) so that if the option is disabled there's no reference to malloc(), realloc(), or free() during compilation (GH-695)"
    - "Remove branch hint from around setjmp() for better portability (GH-605)"
    - "Portability improvement for Atari Mint: avoid fmin/fmax (GH-556)"

    - "Portability improvement for Windows MSVC: add inline macros (GH-580)"
    - "Portability improvement for FreeBSD: switch to using netinet/in.h header instead of inet/arpa.h in debugger socket transport example (GH-676)"
    - "Portability improvement: python tooling (genconfig.py, make_dist.py) etc use sys.executable for launching Python scripts so that e.g. 'python2 util/make_dist.py' works on platforms where 'python' points to Python 3; repo Makefile updated to detect python2 vs. python (GH-646)"
    - "Rework setjmp/longjmp configuration model: (1) removed DUK_OPT_SETJMP, DUK_OPT_SIGSETJMP, and DUK_OPT_UNDERSCORE_SETJMP; (2) added DUK_JMPBUF_TYPE to duk_config.h to allow the jmp_buf struct to be replaced; (3) Duktape internals now rely only on DUK_SETJMP, DUK_LONGJMP, and DUK_JMPBUF_TYPE, all configurable via duk_config.h (or config platform definitions) (GH-635)"
    - "Change OS string (visible in Duktape.env) from 'ios' to 'osx' for non-phone targets (GH-570, GH-571)"
    - "Remove readline support from duk_cmdline.c ('duk' command line tool), add support for Linenoise instead; -DDUK_CMDLINE_FANCY now assumes linenoise.h is in the include path and that linenoise.c is compiled with the command line tool (or linked from a library) (GH-678)"
    - "Add minimal tab completion support for duk_cmdline.c ('duk') using Linenoise completions (GH-679)"
    - "Internal performance improvement: use raw value stack accessors internally when it's safe to do so (GH-582)"

    - "Fix lightfunc constructor call handling: lightfuncs were incorrectly rejected as constructors, now allowed as both direct constructors and via a bound function chain (GH-895)"
    - "Fix direct references to __FILE__ and __LINE__ in the public header to use DUK_FILE_MACRO and DUK_LINE_MACRO, which matters if the standard file/line macros have been replaced in duk_config.h (GH-897)"

    - "Fix incorrect value stack handling in duk_put_prop_(l)string() and duk_put_prop_index() when the target object and the property value are in the same value stack slot (which is unusual but conceptually clear) (GH-959)"
    - "Fix incorrect buffer zeroing assumption in regexp executor, triggered when DUK_USE_ZERO_BUFFER_DATA is not set (default is set) (GH-978)"
    - "Fix incorrect evaluation order of X <op>= Y expressions when the RHS (Y) mutates the value of X (GH-992)"
    - "Fix String.fromCharCode() behavior for non-BMP characters when standard behavior is enabled (DUK_USE_NONSTD_STRING_FROMCHARCODE_32BIT disabled): use ToUint16() + CESU-8 rather than ToUint32() + CESU-8 which produces two codepoints for non-BMP characters (GH-1046)"
    - "Fix a few bugs in object property handling (delete property and Object.defineProperty()) where an object property table resize triggered by a finalizer of a previous value could cause memory unsafe behavior (GH-1096)"

    - "Fix a duk_push_heapptr() finalize_list assertion issue caused by the internal heap->finalize_list being (intentionally) out-of-sync during mark-and-sweep finalizer execution; this has no functional impact but breaks duk_push_heapptr() asserts in certain conditions (GH-1321)"

      changes:
        - "Incompatible change: remove feature option (DUK_OPT_xxx) support, use tools/configure.py (or tools/genconfig.py) or edit duk_config.h manually to use custom config options (GH-949)"
        - "Incompatible change: tools/configure.py is the new frontend tool for configuring Duktape: it generates both a duk_config.h config header, prepares amalgamated source files for build, and supports ROM built-ins; raw input source files are included in the end user distributable to allow tools/configure.py to be used without a repo checkout (GH-949, GH-927, GH-928, GH-929)"
        - "Genconfig.py is still available (moved to tools/genconfig.py) but is no longer recommended for configuring Duktape, use tools/configure.py instead (GH-949, GH-927, GH-928, GH-929)"
        - "util/dist.py no longer supports ROM built-ins, use tools/configure.py instead (GH-949, GH-929)"
        - "Add support for converting ROM function property values into lightfuncs in genbuiltins.py to reduce code footprint for ROM-based built-ins and custom bindings; footprint reduction is around 14-15kB on 32-bit targets (GH-872)"
        - "Fix genconfig.py forced option boolean comparison; for forced numeric option value 0 genconfig would emit '#undef XXX' (instead of '#define XXX 0') and for forced numeric option value 1 it would emit '#define XXX' (instead of '#define XXX 1') (GH-954)"
    - title: 'Configuration'
      changes:
        - "Incompatible change: remove Duktape internal and user 'InitJS' support (DUK_USE_BUILTIN_INITJS and DUK_USE_USER_INITJS) which were very rarely used and required minify tools to make a dist package (GH-899)"
        - "Require a DUK_USE_DEBUG_WRITE() macro for handling debug writes when DUK_USE_DEBUG is enabled; this avoids a platform I/O dependency and allows debug log filtering and retargeting (GH-782)"
        - "Use DUK_USE_DEBUG_LEVEL for debug print level control rather than the previous DUK_USE_DPRINT, DUK_USE_DDPRINT, and DUK_USE_DDDPRINT defines (GH-783)"
        - "Add support for dropping built-in bindings entirely when they are disabled in configuration, e.g. the Proxy and buffer object bindings will be absent instead of being replaced by functions throwing an error; this is more in line with how applications detect supported features and also reduces footprint (GH-988)"
        - "Remove no longer needed platform wrappers in duk_config.h: DUK_ABORT(), DUK_EXIT(), DUK_PRINTF(), DUK_FPRINTF(), DUK_FOPEN(), DUK_FCLOSE(), DUK_FREAD(), DUK_FWRITE(), DUK_FSEEK(), DUK_FTELL(), DUK_FFLUSH(), DUK_FPUTC(), DUK_STDOUT, DUK_STDERR, DUK_STDIN, duk_file (GH-787, GH-761)"
        - "Make coroutine support optional (DUK_USE_COROUTINE_SUPPORT); disabling coroutines reduces code footprint by about 2kB (GH-829)"
        - "Make finalizer support optional (DUK_USE_FINALIZER_SUPPORT); disabling coroutines reduces code footprint by about 0.8kB (GH-936)"
        - "Reduce RAM built-ins initdata limitations for custom bindings by using a shared varuint encoding in the bit-packed initdata stream (GH-1151, GH-1152)"
        - "Remove support for refcounting-only (= no mark-and-sweep) memory management option as too error prone: without mark-and-sweep garbage containing reference loops or created during debugger paused state (with or without reference loops) would seemingly leak until heap destruction (GH-1168)"
        - "Add DUK_USE_GET_RANDOM_DOUBLE() config option to allow an application to override the built-in random number generator (which is very simple and low footprint optimized) with something faster or better (GH-824)"
        - "Make Array property read/write fast path optional to reduce footprint for footprint optimized builds (ensure DUK_USE_ARRAY_PROP_FASTPATH is disabled for low memory builds) (GH-934)"

        - "Incompatible change: rework buffer types and their ECMAScript and C API behavior: remove Duktape.Buffer; provide Uint8Array.allocPlain() and Uint8Array.plainOf() to replace Duktape.Buffer; plain buffers now behave like Uint8Arrays and inherit from Uint8Array.prototype; plain buffers now test false in duk_is_primitive() which is more consistent with their ECMAScript coercion behavior; many small changes in how built-in functions behave for plain buffer arguments e.g. in enumeration, JSON serialization, and Object.prototype.toString() output (GH-875, GH-1005, GH-864, GH-1197)"
        - "Incompatible change: remove the ability to do a 1:1 buffer-to-string coercion (using buffer data directly as the internal string representation) from the default ECMAScript bindings, an encoding (usually UTF-8) is now always applied (GH-875, GH-1005)"
        - "Incompatible change: remove non-standard properties from ArrayBuffer instances (.length, .byteOffset, virtual index properties) and DataView instances (.length, virtual index properties) (GH-867, GH-1197)"
        - "Incompatible change: when DUK_USE_BUFFEROBJECT_SUPPORT is disabled, don't support coercing plain buffers to Uint8Arrays, or any other buffer object operations (including all ArrayBuffer, typed array, and Node.js Buffer methods); this reduces code footprint by around 1.2 kB (GH-889)"
        - "Incompatible change: Node.js Buffer binding aligned with Node.js v6.7.0 (from v0.12.1): Buffer.concat() special case for 1-element array removed (GH-1004); Buffer now inherits from Uint8Array (GH-1008); Buffer.prototype.toString() does UTF-8 decoding (previously buffer data was copied into internal string representation as is) (GH-1020)"
        - "Incompatible change: typed array .subarray() and Node.js buffer .slice() result internal prototype is now the default prototype of the result type (e.g. initial value of Uint8Array.prototype) rather than being copied from the argument (GH-864)"
        - "Incompatible change: minor changes to buffer object behavior when buffer types are mixed (e.g. Node.js Buffer as an argument to typed array calls) (GH-864)"
        - "Incompatible change: allow a plain buffer as a constructor 'replacement object' return value (GH-1197)"
        - "Reject ArrayBuffers with a view offset/length in Node.js Buffer .slice() rather than accept such ArrayBuffers without actually respecting the view offset/length (GH-1197)"
        - "Disable JSON stringify fastpath for plain buffers for now so that the virtual index properties get serialized correctly; fastpath to be added back separately (GH-1197)"
        - "As a side effect of fixing JSON serialization of buffer objects, JSON fast path is aborted when encountering buffer objects; the fast path doesn't currently handle buffer object virtual properties correctly so to remain compliant fall back to slow path for now (GH-867)"
        - "Fix duk_push_buffer_object() ArrayBuffer .byteLength to use 0 and .byteOffset to use view's (byteOffset + byteLength), so that accesses to the ArrayBuffer at the view's .byteOffset match the view at index 0 as normally expected; previously .byteOffset and .byteLength were copied from the view as is which makes the ArrayBuffer indices behave inconsistently with respect to the view's .byteOffset (GH-1229)"
        - "Fix buffer object (duk_hbufobj) JSON serialization (bug present in 1.5.0): buffer objects were omitted from serialization when they should be serialized as normal objects instead (GH-867)"
    - title: 'Other type changes'
      changes:
        - "Incompatible change: allow a lightfunc as a constructor 'replacement object' return value (GH-1197)"
        - "Incompatible change: plain pointer values now test true in instanceof (plainPointer instanceof Duktape.Pointer === true) (GH-864)"
        - "Incompatible change: lightfunc values now test false in duk_is_primitive() which is more consistent with how they behave in ECMAScript coercions (GH-864)"
        - "Incompatible change: lightfunc value as a 'this' binding is ToObject() coerced to a full Function object if the call target is non-strict (this matches e.g. string and plain buffer behavior) (GH-864)"
    - title: 'Debugger'
      changes:
        - "Incompatible change: rename duk_debugger_attach_custom() API call to duk_debugger_attach() to eliminate an unnecessary API call variant (GH-735, GH-742)"
        - "Incompatible change: debug protocol version bumped from 1 to 2 to indicate version incompatible protocol changes in the 2.0.0 release (GH-756)"
        - "Incompatible change: make callstack level mandatory for most debugger commands which accept one (GH-747, GH-1109)"
        - "Incompatible change: change some debugger artificial property names to match internal renames: compiledfunction -> compfunc, nativefunction -> natfunc, bufferobject -> bufobj (GH-798)"
        - "Incompatible change: add a 'ctx' argument to the debugger detached_cb to allow easier reattachment in detached callback (GH-758, GH-853)"
        - "Incompatible change: debugger inspection of array objects no longer sees a concrete .length property for arrays because of internal duk_harray type related changes; instead, an artificial property 'length' is available via GetHeapObjInfo (GH-703, GH-856)"
        - "Add ability to perform an indirect debugger Eval with non-empty callstack by sending null for the callstack level (GH-747)"
        - "Rename debugger protocol artificial property 'bound' to 'boundfunc' for consistency with an internal flag rename (GH-703)"
    - title: 'ECMAScript 2015+ and real world compatibility'
      changes:
        - "Change Object constructor argument coercion policy to match ES2015 requirements for .keys(), .getOwnPropertyNames(), .getOwnPropertyDescriptor(), .getPrototypeOf(), .freeze(), .isFrozen(), .seal(), .isSealed(), .preventExtensions(), and .isExtensible(); instead of rejecting non-objects with a TypeError, they are now coerced to objects or treated as non-extensible objects with no own properties (GH-1028, GH-1164)"
        - "Add experimental support for ES2015 Symbol built-in (disabled by default, enable using DUK_USE_SYMBOL_BUILTIN), duk_is_symbol() API call (GH-982, GH-1227, GH-1237)"
        - "Allow ES2015 Annex B unescaped right bracket (']') in regular expressions (non-standard before ES2015 Annex B), left bracket ('[') not yet supported because it needs backtracking (GH-871)"
        - "Allow ES2015 Annex B identity escapes, i.e. allow identity escapes also for identifier part characters; the support is not yet complete as Duktape won't backtrack on e.g. an invalid hex escape and treat it literally (GH-926)"
        - "Add support for ES2015 computed property names in object literals ({ [1+2]: 'three' }), identifier shorthand ({ foo, bar }), and method definition shorthand ({ func(a,b) { return a+b; } }); however, computed name for method definition ({ ['foo' + 'bar'](a,b) { ... } }) is not yet supported (GH-985, GH-1190, GH-1193, GH-1246)"
        - "Add support for ES2016 exponentiation and exponentiation assignment operators, e.g. '2 ** 10' evaluates to 1024, avoiding the cost of an ECMAScript call to Math.pow() while also being more readable (GH-987, GH-997)"
        - "Add a Reflect built-in, provides Reflect.construct() etc. from ES2015; some features like constructor retargeting require ES2015+ semantics and are thus not yet supported (GH-1025)"
        - "Add support for ES2015 \\u{H+} escape syntax for source code string literals and identifiers, no RegExp support yet (requires RegExp /u Unicode mode) (GH-1001)"
        - "Add support for ES2015 octal (0o123) and binary (0b100001) in source code literals and ToNumber() coercion (e.g. '+'0o123'') (GH-1057, GH-1084)"
        - "Add support for ES2015 String.prototype.codePointAt(), String.fromCodePoint(), and String.prototype.repeat() (GH-1043, GH-1049, GH-1050)"
        - "Add support for ES2015 Math.hypot(), Math.cbrt(), Math.log2(), Math.log10(), Math.trunc() (GH-1069, GH-1093, GH-1095)"
        - "Add support for ES2015 Object.assign() (GH-1064)"
        - "Add support for ES2015 Object.is() and duk_samevalue() API call (GH-1068)"
        - "Respect ES2015 enumeration order (array index keys, other keys in insertion order) for Object.getOwnPropertyNames(), also use the same order in for-in, Object.keys(), and duk_enum() even though that's not strictly required by ES2015 or ES2016 (GH-1054)"
        - "Follow ES2016 behavior when a Proxy instance is used as a for-in target: the 'ownKeys' trap is invoked instead of the 'enumerate' trap, and the 'enumerate' trap is thus obsoleted entirely (GH-1115)"
        - "Add enumerability check for properties enumerated using Proxy 'ownKeys' trap; because 'getOwnPropertyDescriptor' trap is not yet supported, the check is always made against the target object (GH-1115)"
        - "Align RegExp.prototype behavior more closely with ES2015: .source, .global, .ignoreCase, .multiline are now inherited getters; .flags, .sticky, and .unicode have been added (they are inherited getters too); constructor behavior has been revised for ES2015 behavior; however, leniency to allow e.g. RegExp.prototype.source (from ES2017 draft) is supported for real world code compatibility (GH-1178)"
        - "Update UnicodeData.txt and SpecialCasing.txt used for building internal Unicode control data to Unicode version 9.0.0 (GH-931)"
        - "Change parsing of legacy octal literals so that 077 is parsed as octal (= 63) but 078 is parsed as decimal (78) rather than causing a SyntaxError; this aligns better with behavior of other engines (GH-1057)"
        - "Change parsing of octal escapes in string literals to better align with ES2015 and other engines; '\\078' is now accepted and is the same as '\\u00078', '\\8' and '\\9' are accepted as literal '8' and '9 (GH-1057)"
        - "Change bound function .name property handling to match ES2015 requirements; for a target function with name 'foo', bound function name is 'bound foo' (GH-1113)"
        - "Change bound function internal prototype handling to match ES2015 requirements; bound function internal prototype is copied from the target function instead of always being Function.prototype (GH-1135)"
        - "Change Function.prototype.toString() output to match ES2015 requirements; the output no longer parses with eval() but causes a SyntaxError instead (GH-1141)"
        - "Make function instance .name and .length properties configurable (but non-writable and non-enumerable) to match ES2015 requirements; also change .fileName to follow the same attribute convention (GH-1153, GH-1177)"
        - "Remove anonymous function own .name property to match ES2015 requirements; anonymous functions inherit an empty string as their name from Function.prototype.name (GH-1183)"
        - "Change functions created using new Function() to have the .name 'anonymous' to match ES2015 requirements (GH-1183)"
        - "Make Error instance .fileName and .lineNumber properties configurable but non-writable and non-enumerable to match function instance property behavior; this only matters when tracebacks are disabled and concrete error instance properties are in use (GH-1153)"
        - "Change NativeError (TypeError, RangeError, etc) constructor to inherit from the Error constructor rather than Function.prototype directly as required by ES2015 (GH-1182)"
        - "Change object literal getter/setter to match ES2015 requirements: no automatic .prototype property, and the functions are non-constructable (GH-1188)"
        - "Allow duplicate property names in object literals as required by ES2015 (GH-1190)"
        - "Change typed array constructor chain to match ES2015, e.g. Uint8Array constructor inherits from intrinsic %TypedArray% constructor (GH-1191)"
        - "Move typed array properties .byteLength, .byteOffset, and .buffer to prototype objects and make them (inherited) accessors to better match ES2015 requirements; .length remains a virtual own property (GH-1197)"
    - title: 'WHATWG Encoding API'
      changes:
        - "Add TextEncoder and TextDecoder built-ins (the Encoding API) which allow ECMAScript code to convert between buffers and strings using the UTF-8 encoding (GH-975)"
    - title: 'Other C API changes'

        - "Incompatible change: remove file related Duktape C API calls to avoid a dependency on platform file I/O which is a porting issue; removed calls (which were moved into extras): duk_push_string_file(), duk_compile_file(), duk_pcompile_file(), duk_eval_file(), duk_eval_file_noresult(), duk_peval_file(), duk_peval_file_noresult() (GH-788)"
        - "Incompatible change: remove the distinction between panic and fatal errors, and simplify the fatal error handler function signature to 'void my_fatal(void *udata, const char *msg);' (GH-781)"
        - "Incompatible change: remove error code argument from duk_fatal() API call to match revised fatal error handler function signature (GH-781)"
        - "Incompatible change: default fatal error handler (similar to panic handler in Duktape 1.x) calls abort() without printing anything to stdout or stderr (which avoids unnecessary platform dependencies); this behavior can be overridden by defining DUK_USE_FATAL_HANDLER() in duk_config.h (GH-781, GH-1218)"
        - "Incompatible change: remove Duktape specific error codes DUK_ERR_ALLOC_ERROR, DUK_ERR_API_ERROR, DUK_ERR_ASSERTION_ERROR, DUK_ERR_INTERNAL_ERROR, DUK_ERR_UNCAUGHT_ERROR, DUK_ERR_UNIMPLEMENTED_ERROR, DUK_ERR_UNSUPPORTED_ERROR; use standard error types instead (GH-827)"
        - "Incompatible change: map API related errors (which previously used DUK_ERR_API_ERROR and a plain Error for ECMAScript representation) into TypeErrors and RangeErrors to match common ECMAScript conventions (GH-827)"
        - "Incompatible change: remove duk_to_defaultvalue() which invoked the [[DefaultValue]] specification algorithm removed in ES2015 (it was folded to ToPrimitive()), use duk_to_primitive() instead (GH-984)"
        - "Incompatible change: duk_gc() no longer allows a NULL context pointer for consistency with other API calls (GH-1129)"
        - "Change return from of duk_throw(), duk_error(), and duk_fatal() from void to duk_ret_t which allows them to be called using the idiom 'return duk_error(ctx, DUK_ERR_TYPE_ERROR, \"invalid argument\");' (GH-1038, GH-1041)"
        - "Add convenience API calls to throw specific error types; for example, duk_type_error(), duk_type_error_va(), duk_range_error(), etc (GH-1040)"
        - "Add convenience API calls duk_get_prop_lstring(), duk_put_prop_lstring(), duk_del_prop_lstring(), duk_has_prop_lstring(), duk_get_global_lstring(), duk_put_global_lstring() (GH-946, GH-953)"
        - "Add a ToPropertyKey() coercion to duk_def_prop() key argument to allow e.g. numbers to be used in the key slot (GH-836, GH-1130)"
        - "Add duk_get_prop_desc() API call which pushes a property descriptor object for a target object and key, similar to Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptor() (GH-1087)"
        - "Add duk_suspend() and duk_resume() which allow a native thread running a Duktape/C function to be suspended temporarily (e.g. when a native system call blocks) so that other native threads may execute while the thread is blocked (GH-893, GH-909)"
        - "Add duk_is_buffer_data() API call to reliably test whether a value stack entry is a plain buffer or any buffer object (GH-1221)"
        - "Add time functions to the C API (duk_get_now(), duk_time_to_components(), duk_components_to_time()) to allow C code to conveniently work with the same time provider as seen by ECMAScript code (GH-771, GH-1209, GH-1211, GH-1226)"
        - "Add duk_push_bare_object() API call which pushes an object without an internal prototype, equivalent to Object.create(null) (GH-1126)"
        - "Add DUK_GC_COMPACT flag to duk_gc() to force object property table compaction (GH-778, GH-1129)"
        - "Add duk_inspect_value() to provide internal information about an argument value; the output matches Duktape.info() (GH-1125)"
        - "Add duk_inspect_callstack_entry() to provide internal information about a callstack entry; the output matches Duktape.act() (GH-1128)"
        - "Add duk_set_length() API call and change duk_get_length() limits from uint32 to size_t supported range (GH-1123)"
        - "Remove duk_{get,put,has,del}_var() calls from API header; they were not fully implemented and not part of the documented public API (GH-762)"

        - "Incompatible change: remove the built-in module loading framework (global require() call, Duktape.modSearch() etc); now provided as an extra (GH-821)"
        - "Incompatible change: Duktape.info() output has been changed from an array (which is difficult to version and work with) to an object with named properties; the properties are not under versioning guarantees (GH-1125)"
        - "Allow a bound ECMAScript function as an argument to new Duktape.Thread() (GH-1134, GH-1157)"
    - title: 'Extras'

    - "Add ES2015 Annex B HTML comment syntax (GH-1435, GH-1436, GH-1438)"
    - "Allow ES2015 Annex B legacy octal escapes (\\1 to \\377) and literal digits (\\8 and \\9) for RegExp character classes (GH-1275, GH-1483)"
    - "Add an experimental 'global' property to the global object to provide easy access to the global object itself without needing idioms like 'new Function(\"return this\")()'; experimental, implemented based on https://github.com/tc39/proposal-global, enable using DUK_USE_GLOBAL_BINDING (GH-1259, GH-1260, GH-1441)"
    - "Add non-standard shebang (#! ...) command syntax, allowed on first line of source if DUK_COMPILE_SHEBANG option is given to duk_compile() (GH-1380, GH-1346)"
    - "Add shebang support to module-node (GH-1452)"
    - "Add duk_opt_xxx() API calls which behave like duk_require_xxx() but allow a default value to be used when the index doesn't exist or the value is undefined (null is rejected with TypeError to mimic ES2015 optional arguments); for example: 'int port = duk_opt_int(ctx, -3, 80);' (GH-1458)"

    - "Spawn the ArrayBuffer object backing a typed array lazily when its .buffer property is first read, reducing memory usage in common cases where the view is constructed directly without needing the ArrayBuffer object (GH-1225)"
    - "Add a JSON.stringify() fast path for plain buffers (GH-1238)"

    - "Improve lexical scope handling performance by adding internal duk_hdecenv and duk_hobjenv structures (previously generic objects were used) (GH-1310, GH-1339)"
    - "Remove voluntary GC check from refzero processing; the check is not really necessary because all free operations decrement the voluntary GC counter and all allocs/reallocs check for voluntary GC (GH-1355)"
    - "Remove voluntary GC trigger counter decrement from memory free calls; the decrement is unnecessary because alloc and free calls are ultimately in a rough balance and it suffices to update the counter in allocation only (GH-1427)"
    - "Rework zero refcount (refzero) handling: memory frees triggered by a cascade of zero refcounts are now never postponed for objects that don't have a finalizer (and freeing the cascade has no side effects other than freeing blocks of memory) (GH-1427, GH-1454)"
    - "Rework finalizer handling: always use the heap thread (heap->heap_thread) for finalizer calls, regardless of whether finalization is refcount or mark-and-sweep triggered; previously the current thread would be used for refcount finalization and current thread or heap thread (if no current thread exists) for mark-and-sweep finalization (GH-1427)"
    - "Rework finalizer handling: if a mark-and-sweep triggered finalizer removes the object from a reference cycle so that its refcount is zero after finalizer execution, the object gets freed immediately rather than waiting for mark-and-sweep to confirm its status (GH-1427)"
    - "Rework finalizer handling: finalizer execution is now outside of refzero processing and mark-and-sweep, and mark-and-sweep (but not recursive finalizer handling) is allowed during finalizer execution (GH-1427, GH-1451, GH-1457)"
    - "Rework mark-and-sweep: include finalize_list in TEMPROOT marking; with duk_push_heapptr() allowed it's possible for application code to create a reference from heap_allocated to finalize_list and thus TEMPROOT flags for objects on finalize_list (GH-1455)"
    - "Improve side effect protections: prevent finalizer execution between an error throw point and its catch point; add asserts for catching any cases where an error would be thrown when handling a previously thrown error (GH-314, GH-1311, GH-1427)"
    - "Allow duk_push_heapptr() for a heap object which has become unreachable, has been queued to finalize_list, but hasn't yet been finalized; in this case duk_push_heapptr() cancels the finalization and moves the object back to the main heap_allocated list, in effect automatically rescuing the object without finalizer interaction (GH-1442)"
    - "Use a 32-bit refcount field by default (even on 64-bit systems) which saves 8 bytes for each heap object and can only wrap if the Duktape heap is larger than 64GB; disable DUK_USE_REFCOUNT32 to use size_t for refcounts (GH-1399, GH-1401)"
    - "Duktape.Thread.prototype internal class is now Object rather than Thread; this is cosmetic and affects e.g. Object.prototype.toString.call() output for Duktape.Thread.prototype (but not Thread instances) (GH-1403)"
    - "When assertions are enabled, compute comparison refcounts during mark-and-sweep and assert for matching refcounts for objects surviving the sweep phase (GH-1406)"
    - "Avoid a harmless GC refcount assert when abandoning an object's array part (GH-1408)"
    - "More assertion and torture test coverage for GC, finalizers, and error handling (GH-1411, GH-1427, GH-709)"
    - "Avoid relying on the value stack when handling a double error (error which happened during handling of a previous error); this is cleaner but relying on value stack space should also be OK (GH-1415)"
    - "Reject plain arguments to configure.py, they were previously ignored which allowed typos like '-DFOO bar' to be accepted silently (here as '-DFOO' and an ignored plain 'bar' argument) (GH-1425)"
    - "Add more self tests: fmod()+floor()+div splitting (GH-1657)"
    - "Fix unintuitive refcount triggered finalizer behavior where a finalizer loop would happen if the finalizer created a (garbage) object referencing the object being finalized (GH-1396, GH-1427)"
    - "Fix out-of-memory handling for object property table resize, previously an out-of-memory during property table resize could leave internal state in a state which prevented mark-and-sweep from fully working afterwards (GH-1426, GH-1427, GH-1650)"
    - "Fix a garbage collection bug where a finalizer triggered by mark-and-sweep could cause a recursive entry into mark-and-sweep (leading to memory unsafe behavior) if the voluntary GC trigger counter dropped to zero during mark-and-sweep finalizer execution (GH-1347, GH-1355)"
    - "Fix a garbage collection bug where a call into duk_gc() from a mark-and-sweep triggered finalizer could cause recursive entry into mark-and-sweep (leading memory unsafe behavior) (GH-1347)"
    - "Fix a duk_push_heapptr() finalize_list assertion issue caused by the internal heap->finalize_list being (intentionally) out-of-sync during mark-and-sweep finalizer execution; this has no functional impact but breaks duk_push_heapptr() asserts in certain conditions (GH-1321)"
