The last feature release of ChakraCore occurred on 29th June 2018 (version 1.10) since then there have been numerous security update releases and 1 non-security bug fix release (1.11). There has however been significant feature work performed since that date all of which is unreleased.
We intend to release 1.12 as soon as practicable - ideally before summer 2021.
We will endeavour to perform the below important work prior to issuing this first community release. If time permits additional work may be done.
-
Review major changes between 1.11 and master to generate an accurate set of release notes.
-
Review current master against JavaScript standards to identify major gaps including assessing against the tc39 list of stage 3 and stage 4 proposals and also testing with test262. Document the result of this review.
-
Review the API and update documentation.
-
Fix any key regressions from 1.11, notably chakra-core/ChakraCore#6511
-
Run a fuzzer on the current code base and fix any serious bugs detected.
-
Determine release method - where will releases be posted? Who will post them? How will it be clear that this release is NOT supported by microsoft?
