Fix building with Clang (issue 1912).
Reduce the space used by the stack for the profiling thread.
Fix misleading documentation of v8::Locker (issue 542).
Introduce readbinary function in d8 to read binary files.
Performance and stability improvements on all platforms.
2012-01-23: Version 3.8.8
Limited number of loop iterations in Heap::ReserveSpace
(Chromium issue 99027).
Fixed solaris build (VirtualMemory) (issue 1761).
Fixed strict vs. non-strict handling of function proxies in
higher-order array and string methods.
Enabled asynchronous remote debugging with d8 (issue 1691).
Stability and performance improvements on all platforms.
2012-01-19: Version 3.8.7
Ensure that LRandom restores rsi after call to the C function on x64.
(Chromium issue http://crbug.com/110509)
Fixing include issues on *bsd when building with scons.
(issue 1897)
Provide a switch to specify -fno-strict-aliasing
(issue 1887)
Move WIN32 define from standalone.gypi to common.gypi
(issue 1760)
Fix corner-case in heap size estimation.
(issue 1893)
Fix and enable NEW_NON_STRICT_FAST ArgumentsAccess stub on x64.
(issue 1903)

2012-01-16: Version 3.8.6
Add primitive WebGL array support to d8.
Improve heap size estimation (issue 1893).
Hash collision DOS workaround extended from string keys
to numeric keys.
Provide an API for iterating through all external strings referenced
from the JS heap.
Adjust position recorded for call expressions. http://crbug.com/109195

Performance improvements and bug fixes.
2012-01-05: Version 3.8.5
Fix broken test that assumes that no GC can clear the regexp cache (GC
can happen at any time due to Crankshaft).
Fix handling of bogus receivers for Harmony collections. (issue 1884)
Add netbsd support to gyp build.
Determine page size at runtime on posix platforms.
Ensure that store buffer filtering hash sets are cleared after
StoreBuffer::Filter.
Randomize the seed used for string hashing. This helps guard against
CPU-eating DOS attacks against node.js servers. Based on code from
Bert Belder. This version only solves the issue for those that compile
V8 themselves or those that do not use snapshots. A snapshot-based
precompiled V8 will still have predictable string hash codes.
Implement callback when script finishes running in V8 API.
Improve performance of Math.min and Math.max for the case of two
arguments. (issue 1325)
2012-01-02: Version 3.8.4
