You hate me. I just compiled 0.4.8 on a server 15 minutes ago. Well, here we go again...

Yes, I was waiting for you to do that.

Hi Ryan

Does this contain the v8 engine with fast buffers support ?

Fast buffers is a Node thing. Yes it does.

[Vyacheslav Egorov]

Christian probably means Crankshaft support for external arrays which
makes fast buffers faster :-)

Then answer is no.

Exactly that super fast buffers :)

Drop a bleeding-edge V8[1] in deps/v8 and recompile, it'll pick up the
new version. WFM.

It's for a faster js version of the bson parser. Unfortunately the new
parser is slower with buffers util the crankshaft fast buffer stuff is
introduced so I'll wait until it's in node stable officially before
releasing

When are we pulling in a new version of V8? Are we just freezing the
version in the 0.4.x series for ABI stability? With latest V8 I can
run the jslint benchmark 5 times faster.

33af272 upgrades V8 to 3.4.8 so that's probably going into 0.4.10.

[Nathan Rajlich]

I think I remember ryan saying that node 0.4.x will stay with V8 3.1.x for ABI stability...

v0.4 is sticking with V8 v3.1 for ABI stability, yes.

The unstable v0.5 series will start soon with the latest V8.
