CHANGELOG
This is a list of all changes to OSSP js.

o Fix passing of command-line options in jslint(1) tool.
[Ralf S. Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com>]
Changes between 1.6.20060820 and 1.6.20070208 (2006-08-20 to 2007-02-08)

<http://dean.edwards.name/packer/>, version 2.0.2, for use as a
stand-alone Unix tool under the CLI of the OSSP js JavaScript
engine.
[Ralf S. Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com>]
o Upgrade to JavaScript 1.6 upstream sources as of 2007-02-08.
[Ralf S. Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com>]
o Upgrade to JavaScript 1.6 upstream sources as of 2007-01-02.
[Ralf S. Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com>]
o Upgrade to JavaScript 1.6 upstream sources as of 2006-09-16.
[Ralf S. Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com>]
Changes between 1.6.20060803 and 1.6.20060820 (2006-08-03 to 2006-08-20)
o Add support for UTF-8 C strings in the API and internally by
adding a --with-utf8 build-time options which builds the code
with JS_C_STRINGS_ARE_UTF8.
[Ralf S. Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com>]
o Upgrade to upstream sources as of 2006-08-20.
[Ralf S. Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com>]
Changes between 1.6.20060731 and 1.6.20060803 (2006-07-31 to 2006-08-03)
o Add optional Dynamic Shared Object (DSO) support (see src/jsdso.[ch]).
This comes in two flavors:
1. Provide two public C API functions...
JSBool JS_DSOLoad (JSContext *cx, int *id, const char *filename);
JSBool JS_DSOUnload (JSContext *cx, int id);
...as an ultra-thin wrapper around the POSIX dlopen(3) API. It
especially mimics the BSD RTLD behaviour of calling pre-defined
functions (mandatory "js_DSO_load" and optional "js_DSO_unload")
inside the DSO after/before the dlopen/dlclose calls. This
allows the DSOs to perform their init/shutdown actions.
2. Provide a small JavaScript global object "DSO" which binds
the two public DSO C API functions into the JavaScript language
as "DSO.load" and "DSO.unload". The "DSO" object can be created
by the friend C API function js_InitDSOClass(). This function is
used by the command-linne interface "js" by default.
As a result the OSSP Mozilla JavaScript engine is now able to
dynamically load C extensions similar to what other programming
languages provide since a longer time.
[Ralf S. Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com>]
o Be more clean and replace weak "#if JS_HAS_FILE_OBJECT" constructs
with the stronger "#if defined(JS_HAS_FILE_OBJECT) && (JS_HAS_FILE_OBJECT - 0)"
as the JS_HAS_FILE_OBJECT can be not defined at all (in contrast to
other JS_HAS_XXXX defines which are all listed in src/jsconfig.h)
[Ralf S. Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com>]
o Fix a bunch of compiler warnings.
[Ralf S. Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com>]
o Change from -O2 to -O0 and without -Wshadow under --enable-debug.
[Ralf S. Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com>]
Changes between 1.6.20060730 and 1.6.20060731 (2006-07-30 to 2006-07-31)
o Fix "make distclean": src/perlconnect/Makefile.PL is always generated
and hence has to be always deleted.
[Ralf S. Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com>]
o Fix "devtool dist" command: "make man" does not exist.
[Ralf S. Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com>]
o Fix "make install": the executable "js" was not installed via GNU
libtool and this way under --enable-shared the wrapper script was
installed only.
[Alfred Reibenschuh <alfred.reibenschuh@it-austria.com>]
o Add a src/perlconnect/MANIFEST file to make ExtUtils::MakeMaker more happy.
[Ralf S. Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com>]
o Fix "make install": js-config.1 was not installed.
[Alfred Reibenschuh <alfred.reibenschuh@it-austria.com>]
o Use Autoconf macros AC_CANONICAL_BUILD and AC_CANONICAL_HOST to
make sure that the host identification is really available.
[Alfred Reibenschuh <alfred.reibenschuh@it-austria.com>]
o Upgrade to upstream sources as of 2006-07-31.
[Ralf S. Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com>]
Changes between 1.6.20060729 and 1.6.20060730 (2006-07-29 to 2006-07-30)
o Add support for Windows CygWin and MinGW environments.
[Ralf S. Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com>,
Andrew Vajoczki <vajoczki@yahoo.com>]
o Upgrade to upstream sources as of 2006-07-30.
[Ralf S. Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com>]
Changes between 1.6.20060724 and 1.6.20060729 (2006-07-24 to 2006-07-29)
o Upgrade to upstream sources as of 2006-07-29.
[Ralf S. Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com>]
o Changed GNU libtool shared library versioning from 0:0 to 1:6.
[Ralf S. Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com>,
Alfred Reibenschuh <alfred.reibenschuh@it-austria.com>]
o Increase portability by gracefully downgrading the stat(2) use of
st_birthtime to st_birthtimensec or even st_ctime.
[Ralf S. Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com>,
Andrew Vajoczki <vajoczki@yahoo.com>]
o Apply a few more upstream fixes to jsfile.c.
[Ralf S. Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com>]
Changes between 1.6.20060722 and 1.6.20060724 (2006-07-22 to 2006-07-24)
o Apply multiple code cleanups and bugfixes.
[Ralf S. Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com>]
o Move definitions of XP_UNIX and EXPORT_JS_API back from jstypes.h
to configure.ac (and this way the command-line) to not break the
use of jstypes.h as a regular API header in JS based applications.
[Ralf S. Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com>]
o Consistently mark all OSSP bugfixes with a "/* BUGFIX */" tag on
the "#ifdef OSSP" line. This way one can more easily see what
are specific OSSP specific changes what should be taken over by
upstream vendor.
[Ralf S. Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com>]
o Fix an incorrect argument type bug in jsfile.c related to a call to
js_InflateString(). A "size_t *" has to be passed, not a "size_t".
[Ralf S. Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com>]
o Upgrade from (the Mozilla Firefox 1.5 pinned version) SpiderMonkey
1.6.20060722 to the (SPIDERMONKEY_1_6_0_BRANCH based) 1.6.20060724
upstream version.
[Ralf S. Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com>]
o Added jslint (see http://www.jslint.com/) together with some
home-brewn option parser. The result is installed as
a stand-alone "jslint" program.
[Ralf S. Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com>]
o Install all src/js*.h headers during "make install" to allow
applications to at least optionally poke around in the internals.
This also allows an application to call js_InitFileClass() from
<jsfile.h> without us having to really call this function in the
standard API function JS_InitStandardClasses().
[Ralf S. Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com>]
o Change the default of the --with-file/--without from --without-file
to --with-file (enable the File object by default), but activate
it only in the CLI (where it doesn't hurt and where it is actually
really required to get something useful running there in practice)
but explicitly _NOT_ in JS_InitStandardClasses() (as this is
what would hurt the security in applications which assume that
JS_InitStandardClasses() initialized only really the standard
classes).
[Ralf S. Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com>]
Changes between *GENESIS* and 1.6.20060722 (2006-06-XX to 2006-07-22)
o Initial OSSP js distribution of Mozilla JavaScript 1.6 as of 2006-07-22.
