Hi, we have officially branched to be prepared for the upcoming Chrome version 63. The base of the branch is currently rolled into Chromium <https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromium/src/+/715897>. It is based on one of the latest Chrome Canaries.
V8 branch: branch-heads/6.3 Original Canary: 63.0.3237.* Ref to be used in Chromium: https://chromium.googlesource.com/v8/v8/+log/6.3-lkgr If your CL is not included in 63.0.3237.* you might consider merging it into the branch 6.3. In that case please apply the label 'Merge-Requested-6.3' the the bug the CL is fixing. See https://github.com/v8/v8/wiki/Merging%20&%20Patching for more information on merging.
