Hello All,

Just wondering if you had a rough idea when the next binary release is due?

I'm currently dependent on some changes in master, but clearly would
rather be dependent on an official release.

Cheers!

I want to get 1.7R4 out soon, given that there's a number of
significant fixes and improvements. There are very few issues I still
want to tackle like this bug with -opt 9 mode:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=708801

I still want to go through bugs and pull requests once more, but I'm
confident we can get 1.7R4 in March, probably the second half of
March.

I also think it would be nice to release a 1.8R1 preview release
soonish, especially now that with generator expressions we have
completed our JS 1.8 support (thanks Travis!)

I've added a new patch about two weeks ago. Let me know if there are
any questions.

Uh-oh, then I'll better hurry to push my work and send the pull
requests! :)

I'm working on it, and it's looking good. I'd like to put out 1.7R4
out next week so I can get back to other work. If you have an app to
test Rhino with now is a great time to do so!

I've been quite cautious not to introduce any new bugs, still there
have been some significant improvements lately. Regular expressions
got a speedup this week and I backported the patch that makes
Coffeescript work in compiled mode.

I still want to fix load() not throwing errors when it fails, and this
Date issue seems kind of urgent:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=351066

If anybody could have a look at it that would be greatly appreciated.
Let me know if there is something else you need fixed!

Hi Hannes,

I'd be happy to test it in an app I'm working on that runs on top of Ringo. Could I just drop a JAR built from Rhino master into the Ringo lib (I'm assuming you're not going to update Ringo until this is stable)?

Thanks for all the hard work!

Yes, you can just replace rhino-1.7R3.jar in directory lib/ivy with a
new rhino jar file (it doesn't matter what it's called, only that it
replaces the old one). I've repeatedly tested rhino snapshots with
ringojs, but the more eyes the better.

And yes, the Ringo will update Rhino only after the release.

I'll be happy to test also. Is there a SNAPSHOT version available on Maven?

Ran fine for me. Seems to run a little faster or is that just placebo?

For those wanting a Maven snapshot, here's what I did to build and install locally as org.mozilla:rhino:1.7R4-SNAPSHOT

git clone https://github.com/mozilla/rhino.git

cd rhino

ant jar

mvn install:install-file \
-DgroupId=org.mozilla \
  -DartifactId=rhino \
  -Dversion=1.7R4-SNAPSHOT \
  -Dpackaging=jar \
  -Dfile=build/rhino1_7R4pre/js.jar
