This upgrade also introduces exact stack rooting (see to the wiki:
JSRootingGuide) and fixes problems with moving GC. This allows us to
enable generational garbage collection (GGC).
Measurements a few months ago have shown a performance improvement of a
non-visual replay of around 13.5%. This probably varies quite a bit, but
it should be somewhere between 5-20%. Memory usage has also been
improved. Check the forum thread for details.
Thanks to everyone from the team who helped with this directly or
indirectly (review, finding and fixing issues, the required C++11
upgrade, the new autobuilder etc.)! Also thanks to the SpiderMonkey
developers who helped on the #jsapi channel or elsewhere!

This was SVN commit r16214.
Everything is char* now, so we don't need to mess around with different
string types.
Done with:
ag -ls 'LOG(MESSAGE|MESSAGERENDER|WARNING|ERROR)' source | xargs perl
-pi -e'1 while
s/(LOG(MESSAGE|MESSAGERENDER|WARNING|ERROR).*)%[hl]s/$1%s/g'

This was SVN commit r16183.
The runtime is becoming more and more important in the JSAPI. As a
result, we also have more functionality on the runtime level and having
the whole ScriptRuntime class hidden in ScriptInterface.cpp doesn't make
sense anymore. ScriptInterface.cpp also has become quite a large file
and pulling out the runtime part makes it a bit smaller.

This was SVN commit r15961.
The main problem was that GC was only called from the simulation before
this patch. This means when you were waiting in the multiplayer lobby or
just had the GUI open, it only called GC when getting close to the JS
runtime size limit (I assume). Another problem was the Net Server
runtime which didn't GC either. Here the runtime size limit is 16 MB
though, so it's not too terrible. These issues have both been addressed
and GC has been given a bit more time per incremental slice to make sure
it gets done in time. It's still far from perfect, but there are too
many changes in SpiderMonkey related to GC, so I don't want to spend too
much time on this yet.

This was SVN commit r15787.
This commit contains all the required changes to our source files and
build scripts (hopefully).
A next commit will remove the old stuff of SpiderMonkey 1.8.5.
Spcial thanks to:
- H4writer who helped a lot mainly with the performance issues we
had/have, but also with other problems or questions.
- Leper for the review.
- Historic_bruno for implementing the build scripts on Mac OS X and
testing on the Mac.
- The people from the #jsapi channel and from
mozilla.dev.tech.js-engine who answered a lot of questions and helped
solving problems.
- All the other people who helped

This was SVN commit r14877.
Replace CreateValue with SetValueString so we don't pass pointers to
internal
ConfigDB structures around. Refs #1810.
Remove some splash screen related functions since we can achieve the
same
with the ConfigDB functions exposed to scripts.
This was SVN commit r14437.
the old debug_assert always ran and tested the expression, which slows
down release builds. wrapping them in #ifndef NDEBUG is clumsy. the new
ASSERT behaves like assert and ENSURE like the old debug_assert. Let's
change any time-critical but not-super-important ENSURE to ASSERT to
speed up release builds. (already done in bits.h and unique_range.h)
This was SVN commit r9362.
Handle most CStr8/CStrW conversions via UTF-8 instead of effectively
assuming Latin-1.
Return UTF-8 strings from Xeromyces API.
This was SVN commit r8929.
