# 0.8.0 (2020-05-23) - BigInt, Modularized Parser, Faster Hashing

v0.8.0 brings more language implementations, such as do..while, function objects and also more recent EcmaScript additions, like BigInt. We have now moved the Web Assembly build into the wasm package, plus added a code of conduct for those contributing.

The parser has been even more modularized in this release making it easier to add new parsing rules.

Boa has migrated it's object implemention to FXHash which brings much improved results over the built-in Rust hashmaps (at the cost of less DOS Protection).

# 0.7.0 (2020-04-13) - New Parser is 67% faster

v0.7.0 brings a REPL, Improved parser messages and a new parser! This is now the default behaviour of Boa, so running Boa without a file argument will bring you into a javascript shell. Tests have also been moved to their own files, we had a lot of tests in some modules so it was time to separate.

New Parser

Most of the work in this release has been on rewriting the parser. A big task taken on by HalidOdat, Razican and myself.

The majority of the old parser was 1 big function (called parse) which had some pattern matching on each token coming in.
The easy branches could generate expressions (which were basically AST Nodes), the more involved branches would recursively call into the same function, until eventually you had an expression generated.

This only worked so far, eventually debugging parsing problems were difficult, also more bugs were being raised against the parser which couldn't be fixed.

We decided to break the parser into more of a state-machine. The initial decision for this was inspired by Fedor Indutny who did a talk at (the last) JSConf EU about how he broke up the old node-parser to make it more maintanable. He goes into more detail here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x3k_5Mi66sY&feature=youtu.be&t=530

The new parser has functions to match the states of parsing in the spec. For example https://tc39.es/ecma262/#prod-VariableDeclaration has a matching function read_variable_declaration. This not only makes it better to maintain but easier for new contributors to get involed, as following the parsing logic of the spec is easier than before.

Once finished some optimisations were added by HalidOdat to use references to the tokens instead of cloning them each time we take them from the lexer.
This works because the tokens live just as long as the parser operations do, so we don't need to copy the tokens.
What this brings is a huge performance boost, the parser is 67% faster than before!

Documentation Updates:

  • DOC #297: Better user contributed documentation

# 0.6.0 (2020-02-14) - Migration to Workspace Architecture + lexer/parser improvements

The lexer has had several fixes in this release, including how it parses numbers, scientific notation should be improved. On top of that the lexer no longer panics on errors including Syntax Errors (thanks @adumbidiot), instead you get some output on where the error happened.

Moving to a workspace architecture

Boa offers both a CLI and a library, initially these were all in the same binary. The downside is those who want to embed boa as-is end up with all of the command-line dependencies. So the time has come to separate out the two, this is normal procedure, this should be analogous to ripgrep and the regex crate. Cargo has great support for workspaces, so this shouldn't be an issue.

Benchmarks

We now have benchmarks which run against master! Thanks to Github Actions these will run automatically a commit is merged.

Feature enhancements:

Bug fixes:

# 0.5.1 (2019-12-02) - Rest / Spread (almost)

Feature enhancements:

  • FEATURE #151: Implement the Rest/Spread operator (functions and arrays).
  • FEATURE #193: Implement macro for setting builtin functions
  • FEATURE #211: Better Display support for all Objects (pretty printing)

# 0.5.0 (2019-11-06) - Hacktoberfest Release

0.4.0 (2019-09-25)

v0.4.0 brings quite a big release. The biggest feature to land is the support of regular expressions. Functions now have the arguments object supported and we have a debugging section in the docs.

  • Native function signatures changed, operations added to match spec
  • Primitives can now be boxed/unboxed when methods are ran on them
  • Spelling edits (thanks @someguynamedmatt)
  • Ability to set global values before interpreter starts (thanks @999eagle)
  • Assign operators implemented (thanks @oll3)

Bug fixes:

  • BUG #57: Fixed issue with stackoverflow by implementing early returns.
  • Allow to re-assign value to an existing binding. (Thanks @oll3)
