Hi all,

This question[1] over on Stack Overflow got me curious: Where can I
find a full list of language features/constructs supported by V8? For
instance, V8 supports `const` which isn't in the E5 spec. What else is
supported that goes beyond the spec?

Apologies if I've overlooked an obvious page in the docs.

Thanks in advance,

Hi. Best place I can think of is the change log included in the
source.

http://code.google.com/p/v8/source/browse/trunk/ChangeLog

You will have to do a bit of searching/digging to find if a specific
feature is supported.

Thanks. Yeah, or of course one can dig through the source code (and in
particular unit tests), but it seems like...surely...someone
*somewhere* actually has a document saying what the platform
supports? :-)

Maybe google does internally :) I would love to see it as well as
even more documentation and samples using the public embedding
API's.
